Waka Waka Fifa World Cup 2010 Shakira New Song Release

Perhaps more than any other year in recent memory, 2010 found  big-name music stars vying for the honor of recording the official song  of the World Cup soccer event held in South Africa (Daddy Yankee and  K’Naan both scored big game day hits). Among the contenders was  Colombian pop star Shakira who offered up not one but two versions of  her Waka Waka mp3; an English version, Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),  and a Spanish version titled Waka Waka (Estos Es Africa).
Featuring backing music by the South African outfit Freshlyground,  Shakira’s Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) mp3 sold well online after  being performed during the closing ceremonies of the World Cup  festivities. Blending a wide array of musical elements including  traditional African rhythms and instrumentation, modern pop beats and  the always unpredictable vocal runs by Shakira, Waka Waka (This Time for  Africa)
was clearly chosen as a World Cup theme thanks to its  international flair and message of unity.
Regardless of which team you were cheering for in the game, you should  check out the free Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) download and relive  the excitement.
