I spent a lot of time in MTN Fan Zone. Before and between games they had live bands, none of whom I'd ever heard of but the music was wonderful. They also played these songs that I've embedded below. You never knew which language version would show up but people in audience always seemed to know the lyrics. Enjoy these fun versions. Shakira (Waka Waka) is known somewhat here in the US by English speakers but she is Columbian born. K'naan (Wavin' Flag) was born in Somali but emigrated first to the US then to Canada. David Bisbal (Spanish singer on Wavin' Flag) Nancy Ejram (Arabic singer on Wavin' Flag) is the best selling Lebanese female vocalist to date.
