The composition ‘Dai Dai’, by Colombian singer Shakira, will be the official song of the World Cup to be played between June and July in the United States, Mexico and Canada, the artist announced Thursday in a brief video posted on her social networks and will be released on May 14.
In the video, recorded at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Shakira appears dressed in a yellow T-shirt and blue shorts, like Brazil’s uniform, and with several balls along with a group of dancers while she sings some fragments of ‘Dai Dai’.
The singer enters the Maracanã field carrying a ‘Trionda’ ball, official of the upcoming World Cup, puts it on the ground as if she were going to make a move and begins the choreography of ‘Dai Dai’ with her dancers, dressed in the colors of teams such as Colombia, Argentina and the United States.
“Oe, oe, oe, oe,” begins the song, with a lively Caribbean rhythm and English lyrics that refer to belonging to a World Cup of all.
The scenography is completed with four World Cup balls from Germany 2006, South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014, plus the North America 2026 ‘Trionda’.
Shakira’s ‘Waka Waka’ (This is Africa) was the anthem of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and four years later she repeated in Brazil 2014 with ‘La La La’, while her hit ‘Hips Don’t Lie? was a sensation in 2006 in Germany.
The video, which lasts one minute and seven seconds, ends with the phrase “We Are Ready,” reported Agencia EFE.
