Shakira’s “Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)” has been named the official song of the 2010 World Cup. Hate it or love it! But a Latin American singing the anthem for the first African World Cup? That ain’t right. So check out the original song. It´s from a group called `Zamina` out of Cameroon and was a big hit in 1986. Enjoy...
and here is a nice acapella version of the song...
as a bonus enjoy this song played by Capetown-based Freshlyground, an eclectic band with African rhythms at the heart of their music and several wonderful vocalists, lead by Zolani Mahola. Why not just have them play the official song?
