Viva La Vida

"Viva La Vida" by Coldplay is one of the most successful and recognizable songs of the 21st century. Released in 2008 on the album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, it won the Grammy for Song of the Year and became one of the best-selling digital singles in history. Produced by Brian Eno, the song features a distinctive orchestral arrangement built around sweeping strings, rhythmic percussion, and Chris Martin's iconic vocals. The lyrics draw on historical and religious imagery, telling the story of a fallen king.

I'm excited to share this remake I made some time ago. Recreating the orchestral textures and the driving rhythmic energy of the original was a deeply satisfying production challenge. The interplay between the string section, the bell-like guitar patterns, and the powerful drum groove required careful layering to achieve a faithful yet personal interpretation.

I made this track as a collaboration with Lukas Gadelha for his channel Cantando em Português. He was very kind to include me in his video project.
