You can see the artwork for the track, “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” by Shakira featuring Freshlyground, above. We’re very excited to announce that a brand new Shakira song has been chosen as the the official song of the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
Check out the full press release below as found on. The song “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” will be released to digital retailers the week of May 11th with a music video to follow shortly. Much like she did years ago with her World Cup remix of “Hips Don’t Lie,” Shakira is back again in support of FIFA’s 2010 World Cup. My girl is back! That’s right! The sexy hip-shakin’ Colombian superstar Shakira is back this May with a brand new track and this #1 fan here in Cleveland (please come here Shaki…please come to C-town on your tour) could not be happier about the news.
