The hut throb “Waka Waka” was performed again by Shakira in theFIFA world cup 2010 closing ceremony.  “Waka Waka“( This time for Africa) is a traditional African soldiers’ song, named Zangalewa. Shakira reinterpreted the song without getting permission of the band; Sony Music did a hidden deal after the band legally intervened. “I am honored that Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) was chosen to be part of the excitement and the legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The FIFA World Cup is a miracle of global excitement, connecting every country, race, religion and condition around a single passion. It represents an event that has the power to unite and integrate, and that’s what this song is about.”— Shakira.
