Liverpool Musician Andy Hodgson Releases LUCHO, a Tribute to Luis Diaz

Liverpool has always been known for its great songs dedicated to the players of the football club. However, local musician Andy Hodgson believes it’s time for a new anthem. Hodgson has recently released a tribute song called LUCHO, dedicated to Liverpool player Luis Diaz. The song has gained attention not only from fans but also from Colombian television.

A Passionate Salute to Liverpool’s Colombian Star

LUCHO is a heartfelt tribute to Luis Diaz, paying homage to his hometown of Barrancas. The song holds even more significance following the recent kidnapping and subsequent release of Diaz’s father. The tune captures the passion and admiration for Liverpool’s Colombian star.

The Story Behind LUCHO

Hodgson shared how the song came about in an interview with This Is Anfield. Unlike other popular Liverpool anthems like Allez Allez Allez and Si Senor, LUCHO is a song that Hodgson can call his own. He explained, “I play at Taggy’s every home matchday now. There’s this group of guys who I got talking to, and they come and see me every home game. One of the lads came up to me and said he had this Luis Diaz song to the tune of Bella Ciao. I was writing a Luis Diaz song in the tune of Bella Ciao as well, so I already had stuff down.”

A Viral Sensation

After sharing a video of the song on TikTok, LUCHO quickly went viral. The song gained popularity among Liverpool fans and has even been played by stadium announcer George Sephton before a match against Everton. The Colombian outlet Red+Noticias also noticed the song and shared This Is Anfield’s viral video on their broadcast.

Release and Availability

LUCHO was produced by David John Jaggs of The Ragamuffins and was officially released by Andy Hodgson on November 24, 2023. The song is available for streaming on Spotify and all other major platforms.
