The Grêmio anthem, by the way, was composed by Lupicínio Rodrigues

The Grêmio anthem, by the way, was composed by Lupicínio Rodrigues, one of the greatest composers in the history of Brazilian music and a fan of the club. Lupicínio composed the verse “Even on foot we will go” inspired by a strike by tram conductors in Porto Alegre. Without public transport, Grêmio fans had to walk to Estádio dos Eucaliptos to watch a derby against Internacional. The phrase “With Grêmio wherever Grêmio is” was created by a fan named Salim Nigri and used by Lupicínio.
