“Made in Romania” was heard in the dressing room of the Inter Milan team, after the Italian team won the football championship. Meanwhile, he is at the center of a controversy.
The piece was composed by Marius Moga and Smiley almost 20 years ago, but the version in which it became famous is by the manelist Ionuţ Cercel.
He does not have the consent of the composers to perform, as happened with Loredana Groza, many years ago, when he made a remake of the song, renamed it Made in Romania, with the consent of Moga and Smiley, writes antena3.ro .
“I was not asked for permission, but I have nothing to do with them. I would have been upset if some pop-dance colleague had plagiarized a composition of mine”, said Marius Moga, in 2008, according to CANCAN.
At the beginning of this year, the brothers Kadîr and Berdan Kalin, known on social networks, especially on TikTok, discovered Ionuţ Cercel's version and began to create videos in which they dance to this piece, in various poses and corners of the world.
The Kalin brothers are from Turkey, as is Hakan Çalhanoğlu, the Inter midfielder. He brought the song to the dressing room and made Ionuţ Cercel famous again.
“Internationale Milano soccer team celebrated winning the title, I don't even know exactly, because I don't have much with football, I'm with music and that's all, but it's a great joy because I know how big this Internationale Milano team is”,
is the message sent by Ionuț Cercel.
“Made in Romania” is now the hit of the moment on TikTok, there are thousands of clips, with hundreds of millions of views, in which the song is used as background sound.
