The Sound of 2010 Soccer

I recently tweeted to Ricky Martin how much I still think about his “Cup of Life,” his anthemic ode to the 1998 World Cup.

It was such a rouser, y’ know – and you just might if you watched the Grammys the following year.

Anyway, this many years later, another Latino powerhouse, Shakira, has been selected to sing the official song of the 2010 World Cup, and she has delivered “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” a collaboration with South African group Freshlyground.

I gotta say, I’m kinda feelin’ this...it’s getting me excited for the games.
