Málaga CF goes all out to celebrate a date marked on the calendar for people with special abilities. As such, we have 'Somos Genuines', a beautiful song as the official anthem of the MCF Foundation’s Supercapacitad@s Football School.
The Juan Cortés press room was the ideal place for this presentation that once again showed that our Genuine players are wonderfully different. In the words of Lucas Rodríguez, Málaga CF Foundation coordinator, “it’s not a day for the disabled, it’s a day for the super-abled. Their families, the people who work with them, you are all an example.”
The song stemmed from the inspiration of Santi Fernández, from A La Grupa, as well as Danny García, who penned the lyrics. The eagerness to collaborate with the MCF Foundation lit the fuse and soon ignited the spark with heart and feeling. “It’s been amazing and the easiest thing I've written in my life, as it comes out on its own,” said Danny, who thanked the Club for its support and had a special mention for Javier Tapia, author of 'Soy Malaguista' who provided his studio for the production of the song.
An emotional Santi also praised Tapia, “a phenomenon who looked after us so well in the studio. There were five hours of recording and we put our heart and soul in it for them,” he stressed with pride and recognised “the privilege of working” with Nena Paine, from the Mercedes García Paine association, which has a very close relationship with the MCF Foundation.
As well as the aforementioned author Danny García, the composition includes Francisco Javier Llamas Díaz (pianist), Manuel Ortega Ramírez (guitar), Santiago Fernández Verdejo (percussionist), Marta Fernández Verdejo (lead vocals), Santiago Fernández Carrión (male vocals), Sandra Verdejo Ramírez (chorus) and Sandra Fernández Verdejo (chorus).
The song also integrates sign language and is a source of pride for the Club Foundation and its sponsors, such as Sanamar Alimentación and PROAMB Integrada, present at the event. The emotion of everyone present was palpable during such a beautiful event for families and friends of our Supercapacitad@s. Isa, mother of the charismatic Oskita, said that belonging to Málaga Genuine “is the best thing that has happened in her life.”
“We continue on, we walk forward. All together. Many days of enjoyment will come, and this song will help us to become stronger,” Lucas stated.
Want to know the lyrics? Here you go!
“You came to give life to the Bombonera
You grew up under the shelter of a flag
Because you are the pride, of La Rosaleda
You are the best mirror to look at
Values, love, respect, fight and courage
Malagueño, Blue and White is your blood
We are Genuine, we are not different
We are tolerant, blessed be my luck
Of being a Malaguista, of being my friend
That you let me walk with you
We are Genuine, the world awaits us
We are tolerant, let's break the barriers
We are Genuine, we are going to love you
Take my team where it deserves
Wherever you go I will be your breath
Because it’s thanks to you, I promise you
That I fulfilled, so many dreams
A hymn of hope, a life lesson
A hymn for the heart, what you need
Sing it with me, sing Malaguista
We are Genuine, we are not different
We are tolerant, blessed be my luck
Of being a Malaguista, of being my friend
That you let me walk with you
We are Genuine, the world awaits us
We are tolerant, let's break the barriers
We are Genuine, we are going to love you
Take my team where it deserves.”
