La Palapa Turns Soccer Chants Into Lullabies With Baby Fútbol

It is La Palapa’s first original music production: an album that reimagines iconic soccer chants as lullabies, created for moms and dads who want to share their passion for the game with their babies at bedtime.

Featuring 12 tracks, the album transforms beloved stadium chants into soothing instrumental bedtime music for babies. In its first week online, it reached more than 20,000 organic listeners and began building a community on TikTok and Instagram at @babyfutbol.music

Baby Fútbol is also a reminder that soccer is a universal language. oOne that is often spoken without words. The melodies of the chants remain recognizable even as the lyrics change to match each team and each fanbase. That makes this project especially meaningful for U.S. Hispanic audiences, who continue to carry their culture, traditions, and passion for the game across borders.

This launch marks a new step for La Palapa as it continues to build original IP and cultural products that expand its creative capabilities beyond traditional advertising formats.

“This idea came from a personal experience with my son,” said Leo Ferrari, Head of Creative at La Palapa. “I wanted to create something that felt not only original, but also useful, sensitive, and genuinely connected to the everyday lives of soccer-loving families.”

The project was co-produced with The Music Agency and features musical direction by Dany Verdino, who added: “This project gave us the opportunity to explore the history behind some of the most popular chants in soccer culture and discover the surprising origins of their melodies and lyrics. From international bands to politics and vintage ads, many unexpected influences have inspired the songs heard in the stands.”

Lucía Tkach, General Director of Accounts and Partner at La Palapa, added: “In a World Cup year, this project offers brands a powerful platform to connect emotionally with their audiences in new ways. In line with our business strategy, the product is open to sponsorship and licensing opportunities, while the IP remains fully owned by La Palapa.”

With Baby Fútbol, La Palapa introduces an original production that brings together entertainment, culture, and emotional connection.
