Alex Ferrari version
The Brazilian singer Alex Ferrari registered it with Music Edition: Kronika Records and recorded it in June 2012 and interpreted it on many occasions in his home country. His version gained most popularity though on European night venues. As his version made rounds online, it was erroneously attributed at times to Michel Teló, although it was eventually proven as being a version recorded by Alex Ferrari himself. The success of the song was brought about by the two Italian deejays Giulietto Kronika & DeeJay Trip, who signed a contract with Jeff Records and reached first place in the official French singles chart and climbed the charts throughout Europe with the versions created by the two DJs. A studio version he produced was released in August 2012 by EMI Music France, having charted in France, where it peaked at #1 as at week-ended 19 August 2012,[3] making Ferrari the third Brazilian act to top the French Singles Chart in 2012, after Michel Teló and Gusttavo Lima.
