Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) - Shakira & Freshlyground - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Shakira marked the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which was held in South Africa, with this anthemic dance-pop ode to the host country. "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)," takes its name from a Cameroonian slang phrase that means “do it,” and was formed as a collaboration between the Colombian superstar and Cape Town-based fusion band, Freshlyground. Written, composed, and produced by Shakira and John Hill, the official 2010 FIFA World Cup song brings in a soca-inspired beat and a Southern African guitar and became one of the biggest World Cup songs ever made—as well as one of the best-selling singles of all time—reaching the chart summit in 15 countries in spite of the controversy the track generated owing to the non-African artist choice. "K-Mix" versions of "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" and "Waka Waka (Esto es África)" were contained on Shakira's ninth studio, Sale el Sol, which was released in October 2010.
