Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) was released by Colombian singer Shakira featuring South African group Freshlyground in 2010 as the official song of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The track drew on the Cameroonian makossa song Zangaléwa and became a global stadium anthem. Its short solo section later circulated on its own through shares, edits and soundboards, kept alive by football nostalgia, summer playlists and the song's lasting association with celebration and togetherness.
