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.
