The dispute arises out of Coca Cola’s worldwide marketing campaign for the 2010 FIFA World Cup soccer tournament. As part of its advertising campaign, Coca Cola enlisted recording artist K’Naan to create a new version of his song “Wavin’ Flag,” and called the new version the “Celebration Mix.” Coca Cola had certain lyrics in the “Celebration Mix” adapted and sung in different languages by local artists and K’Naan. In 2009, Coca Cola contacted Jose Puig, a representative of Universal Music Latin America, to produce a Spanish version of the Celebration Mix. The Spanish lyrics were to be sung by David Bisbal, a Spanish language singer. Puig was referred to the plaintiff, Rafael Vergara Hermosilla, in November 2009. Vergara adapted the Celebration Mix into Spanish, and subsequently delivered the Spanish lyrics to Puig in December 2009. A dispute later arose over Vergara’s compensation for the adaptation.
