"Waka Waka"
Song

"Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" is a song by Colombian singer Shakira, featuring South African band Freshlyground. It was the official song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, along with its Spanish language version, titled "Waka Waka (Esto es África)".[2] Released on May 11 for digital download, the song received generally positive critical reception, and became a worldwide hit.[3]

It was later included on Listen Up! The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Album which was released on May 31, 2010. The K-Mix version of the song was also included on Shakira's seventh studio album, Sale el Sol. "Waka Waka" was performed by Shakira and Freshlyground at the 2010 FIFA World Cup Kick-Off concert in Soweto on June 10, 2010, and at the final on July 11, 2010.

Background and composition

"Waka Waka" is based upon a traditional African soldiers' song named Zangalewa, a 1986 makossa hit for Cameroonian group Golden Sounds.[4] The song was officially chosen as the anthem for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. About this, Shakira said, "I am honored that 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)' was chosen to be part of the excitement and the legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup."

"Waka Waka" was written by Shakira and John Hill and co-produced by Hill.[3] The track, which samples the chorus of the 1986 Cameroonian hit song "Zangaléwa", by Cameroonian band Golden Sounds,[5] features Afro-Colombian instrumentation, Soca beat and South African guitars.[6][7] The song consists of rhythmical African sounds, and represents the vitality and energy of the host continent.[8] According to the sheet music published in Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, the song is set in the time signature of common time, with a metronome of 128 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of D major with Shakira's vocal range spanning from the low-note of G3 to the high-note of A5.[9]

Critical reception

Chirag Sutar from Radio and Music also gave the song a very positive review with 4 of 5 stars and said "Shakira's version is great with positive lyrics that can appeal to a universal audience, and at the same time also has the African ingredient intact. The song has brilliant African percussion lines, that can get you grooving instantly. Plus, it also scores for the way it builds up into a celebratory vibe with the chorus line."[10] According to Entertainment Weekly's Simon Vozick-Levinson, "the hooks here are nowhere near as indelible or inventive as those on last year's awesome She Wolf, but they'll do."[11] Robert Copsey from Digital Spy gave the song his recommendation with 3 stars out of 5 and said "[...] she sings over beats as fat and bouncy as a well-fed baby. Thankfully, 'Waka Waka' also has a ludicrously catchy chorus cribbed from an old Cameroonian tune and plenty of hip-swingable moments, ensuring it never quite dissolves into an all-out cheese-fest."[12] Indrajit Hazra from Hindustan Times said "Shakira reminded everyone why football and her frenetic rhythms have been a winning team. [...] Waka Waka is the perfect cheering-on song. As far as Shakira goes, her infectious Waka Waka totally works."[13]

Martin Caballero from Boston Herald said that "With its catchy hook and breezy summer vibe, 'Waka Waka' sounds more like a song for a South African tourism advertisement, not the world’s biggest sports event."[14] In the history of Indian Music Industry, "Waka Waka" has become the first song for a television channel's signature ID. Shridhar Subramaniam stated, "We are very happy to offer an integrated music for FIFA's official World Cup 2010 anthem. The animation of 9XM mingled well with the 'Waka Waka' number, reflecting the high spirit and energy of the World Cup." Amar Tidke said, "We are delighted to collaborate with Sony Music Entertainment for the promotion of the official anthem of the FIFA World Cup. We are honored to team up with the global superstar Shakira. We are sure that the viewers will like this music collaboration for the FIFA World Cup."[15]

The video, available in standard definition as well as in 3D,[51] premiered on 6 June 2010.[52] Football players Gerard Piqué, Dani Alves, Idriss Carlos Kameni, Rafael Márquez and Lionel Messi appear in the video,[53] besides the group and Shakira who wears an orange vest top, short black feathered skirt and lots of colourful bracelets and flowers.[54] Intercut is archive footage from past World Cups. Brazilians Ronaldo, Denilson and Pelé are highlighted along the famous penalty miss by Roberto Baggio in 1994 which secured the championship to Brazil.[55] The video was directed by Marcus Raboy, cinematographed by Christopher Probst, edited by Hal Honigsberg, and finished by Jerry Steele of Steele Studios using their brand new Quantel Pablo 4K.[56] Not only is it the first ever 3D video to be shown at the World Cup, it is also Sony Music's first 3D music video.[57]

The video is ranked number one at The Guardian Viral Video Chart.[58] The video became an international hit, as the video was being viewed around three million times a day between June 10 and June 17,[42] taking its total to about 249 million views on YouTube as of December 4.[59]

Reception

Kyle Anderson, from MTV, said, "Joined by Africa fusion band Freshlyground and a bevy of dancers, Shakira rolls through the funky, inspirational tune with her usual blend of jittery energy and engaging charm. It also doesn't hurt that she's an excellent dancer, as are the performers (many of them children) who flank her throughout the clip. The clip is augmented by footage from soccer matches and worldwide World Cup-related celebrations in a number of foreign cities. Though Shakira's performance is excellent, she can't hold a candle to the intensity of World Cup-caliber soccer players, which means that the key scene from "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" is a killer slide tackle."[52] Brian Banks, from Music Vice, said, "The video does a fantastic job of capturing the energy and passion of the World Cup, as so many hopes and dreams fall to the feet of the chosen few. If the hair on your neck is not raised by the football action in this video, then maybe at least your pulse will be raised by the delectable Ms. Shakira."[60] Amy Saeyang Mattox, from Gather.com, said, "It's a wonderfully crisp video and starts off with a soccer scene then there's Shakira singing very uplifting and inspiring lyrics with the main point being that (This time [is] for Africa). The Waka Waka video is very colorful and bright as to be expected from Shakira, a lot of sunny yellows and red are used. Waka Waka (This time for Africa) is a great blend of pop and drums with a dash of sassy sauciness." [61]

Live performances

Sketches of Roberto Cavalli's designs for Shakira

Shakira and Freshlyground performed the track at the opening ceremony of the competition on June 10, 2010, as well as at the closing ceremony, two hours before the final match on July 11, at Johannesburg, South Africa.[6][62] The outfits for Shakira's World cup performances were created by Italian designer Roberto Cavalli.[63] Shakira also performed the song at the Glastonbury Festival 2010 on June 26, 2010, during the World Cup competition.[64] Before singing the song Shakira said, "I just performed this in South Africa and thought it would be appropriate to sing it tonight because ... there is a big match tomorrow which I'm planning to watch in some pub in east London. Let's hear you make some noise for England!"[65] Shakira also performed the song at the 2010 Premios Juventud Awards at the opening of the awards on July 15, 2010, along with her single "Gypsy".[66]

World Cup kick-off

Shakira and Freshlyground performed the song at FIFA's Kick-Off Concert at June 10 in Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg, along with her hit singles "She Wolf" and "Hips Don't Lie".[67][68] For the opening, Shakira took to the stage in a black and white zebra-printed jumpsuit under a skirt of fringe resembling the typical African tribal costumes, with leather and jeweled bracelets on her arms.[69][70] About her dress, Ann Powers from the Los Angeles Times said that " [...] But then came Shakira, in an ill-advised Roberto Cavalli outfit that looked like a costume from The Lion King. Despite her fashion misstep, the Colombian powerhouse made a case for herself with a set that focused on the heavy beats in her own music."[71]

About her performance, Fabiola Bohórquez Guerra from La Verdad said: "But the crowning moment came with the official World Cup song, "Waka Waka", which she sang with the group Freshlyground. Dozens of singers and dancers took their places on stage to perform the infectious theme that goes It's time for Africa. With an energetic choreography, the Colombian gave football fans examples of the ideal enthusiasm to start the finals today on the playing field."[72] Diane Coetzer from Billboard said "[...] And when the first notes of the official 2010 FIFA World Cup Song, 'Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)' were heard and Shakira's South African collaborators - Afro-pop outfit Freshlyground – appeared, the crowd erupted into an unceasing cry of delight."[73]

Ann Powers from the Los Angeles Times said that "'It's time for Africa,' boomed the voice of the announcer in Johannesburg's Orlando Stadium Thursday, at the climax of the all-star concert kicking off soccer's World Cup. It's time for Shakira! Thursday, her answer to those who've criticized her song was a visual as well as a musical one: She filled the stage with African dancers, singers and musicans, who almost overshadowed her as she performed the song. It was just a symbolic gesture, but a strong one in this evening-long review of pop music’s journey from Africa to every corner of the earth, and back."[71] Rachel Jacoby from InStyle said that "But it was Shakira who stole the show during the finale with a rendition of the World Cup Anthem 'Waka Waka' in a barely-there grass skirt and cut-away top. Goooooal!"[74]

World Cup closing ceremony

Shakira Performing "Waka Waka" at Closing Ceremony

On July 7, 2010, Shakira's official website gave a sneak preview of her final outfit for the World Cup closing ceremony on July 11.[75] The dress differed from the outfit at opening ceremony, consisting of a belly-baring tulle top embroidered with multicolor pearls and a silk fringed skirt–complete with a floral motif and animalier print. A denim belt embroidered with African style pearls and leather bracelets with floral silk appliqué will rounded off the exotic look.[76] About her performance at the closing ceremony, Siddharth Saxena from The Times of India said that "in all the riot of colour, light and laser show, Shakira came and swayed to her often heard World Cup anthem. It was all going according to plan, but the show stealer was left for the end of the closing ceremony. A surprise."[77]

Diane Coetzer from Billboard said that "Shakira's second consecutive performance at the closing ceremony of a FIFA World Cup sparked an ecstatic response from the vuvuzela-blowing crowd crammed into Soweto's Soccer City. The Colombian singer - who also made a star-turn at the first ever FIFA World Cup Kick-Off a month ago (June 10) - wore a day-glo colored Roberto Cavalli outfit as she launched into "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)." The song has also been featured in Forres Academy's 2010 s6 show, 'Addicted to Six' as their finale and received widespread acclaim in Scotland.[78] CBS Sports said, "Then came the singing and the dancers, with Colombian star Shakira and Ladysmith Black Mambazo among a colourful cast of thousands singing their hearts out in celebration."[79]

Criticism

Some South Africans complained that they would have liked a local singer to perform the song instead, and also criticized the selection of other non-African acts such as Juanes, Black Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys and John Legend to perform at the tournament’s kickoff concert, instead of local musicians.[80] Stuart Derdeyn from The Province said "Red Card for bad taste.[...] This leads to sonic vomit such as Shakira's 'Waka Waka (This Time For Africa),' perhaps the stupidest official song for any major sporting event ever."[81] Amos Barshad from New York Magazine said "The song is a perfectly innocuous bit of inspiration pop — 'when you fall get up, oh oh/and if you fall get up, eh eh,' Shakira suggests at one point — with a few vague nods toward what would be identified by a majority of Western-pop-reared individuals as 'world music.' But are you prepared to hear it over and over and over again?"[82]

Shakira responded to the issue of a non-South African singing the World Cup Official Song. Shakira explained that she believed that

"The World Cup is about this melting pot, you know, in which so many cultures come together. So when Sony ... asked me to write a song for the World Cup, I decided to bring a little bit of my culture, too, which is attached to Africa through an umbilical cord. I mean, I was raised listening to music that was heavily influenced by African music ... that's how close Colombians are to African culture. So I decided to use a little of Colombian and Afro-Caribbean elements, these chants from Cameroon ... and invite a South African artist to also bring their own flavor to this song. And I thought in that way we could create a song that would be more emblematic of what the world cup spirit is, that spirit of tolerance and integration and that melting pot that South Africa is right now."[83]
