Colombia Is In The House!

A few days ago, I received a phone call from Jalker Effer from Bogota Cheer Athletics. He traveled from Colombia to USA for Worlds, and made a special detour up to NY to see us.  This was a very pleasant surprise!

We only get to meet with Jalker once a year at Worlds when he comes to the States. We first met in 2012 and his team, Elite,  impressed us very much with their skills, attitude and enthusiasm. CheerSounds created music for BCA in 2012 and Jalker introduced our style of music to the rest of Colombia. This year, we have created music for three Colombian Worlds teams: BCA, Fox and Titanes, which all share the same common thread of “attitude matters most”. These teams are motivated times 10, and they have fun while working their tails off! Practice looks like a party – with discipline!  It is inspiring in a culturally-different way than we are used to seeing.

Interestingly enough, these three Colombian teams allowed Jalker to participate in the creation of their team’s music.  I have never seen competing teams contribute to one another’s music in USA, and I think it is an awesome demonstration of the bonding across competitors to represent their country with Pride. We are honored to create music for Colombia and we wish them much luck at Worlds!!
