Colombian songstress Shakira is a true international star so it only makes sense that she was asked to compose a song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup that will take place this summer in South Africa. And so she did!
Shakira's "Waka Waka It's Time for Africa" is very upbeat and positive, and we quite like it! And in true international style, the songstress mixes languages beautifully! We have already told you that Shakira doesn't only drop one hit after the other, she is also heavily involved in charity activity related to children's social justice, and she was recently honored with a medal from the International Labour Organisation for her work.
So how come a star like herself has decided to dedicate so much time and effort to those in need? Well, she simply follows the words of the Mahatma! "Gandhi used to say 'be the change you wish to see in the world,' and I've followed that maxim," Shakira told reporters at the event. Growing up in Columbia, Shakira saw a lot of poverty that "shaped my dream and my vision of social justice," she added.
A good voice and a good heart, we love it! So check out Shakira's "Waka Waka It's Time for Africa" for this year's FIFA World Cup and tell us if you dig the track
