ANTHEM<br />

The song „Come Play with Us” performed by Mika<br />

Urbaniak and Michał Urbaniak was the anthem of<br />

Men’s European Handball Championship 2016 in<br />

Poland. The premiere of the single took place on<br />

8 November 2015 before the final match of the<br />

International Handball Tournament in Gdańsk.<br />

Aimed at warming up the audience and players before<br />

every match, the cheerful pop song is an adaptation<br />

of Michał Urbaniak’s song recorded by Mika<br />

Urbaniak and Victor Davies. Mika Urbaniak, who is<br />

also one of the EHF EURO 2016 Ambassadors, recorded<br />

her own vocal and rap sections and Victor<br />

added a cheering chorus. The final version was recorded<br />

in studios in Warsaw and New York, and during<br />

that time Mika and Victor closely collaborated<br />

with the Urbanator band including Michal Urbaniak<br />

(violin and saxophone), Xantone Blaque (synths and<br />

vocals), Abdule Zhurie (guitar), Al MacDowell (bass),<br />

Michael Flythe (drums).<br />

As the official anthem of Men’s European Handball<br />

Championship 2016 in Poland, "Come Play With Us"<br />

promoted the official EHF EURO 2016 song compilation<br />

under the same title. The album was released<br />

on 8 January 2016.<br />
