SHAKIRA worked alongside South African Afro-fusion group Freshlyground on the Spanish song “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” which they performed together for the June 11 opening ceremony in Johannesburg, South Africa. The track, which is currently available via iTunes, resides on the two-week-old “Listen Up! The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Album.”
Shakira, wearing an animal print, waka waka-ed — the anthem and dance of the World Cup. The turbaned Tinariwen brought the sounds of Mali’s desert nomads to the mix. The crowd swayed to Keys, and did the toyi-toyi — the protest dance of the apartheid era — to hometown favorites BLK JKS.
