Shakira brings the World Cup - spirit to O₂ World Berlin

In Arabic her name means „The Grateful“. And Shakira can definitely be deeply grateful for her outstanding career. “Whenever, Wherever” helped the vivacious Colombian with the remarkable voice and sensational hip swing to rise to international fame overnight.

60 million albums sold, several Grammy-Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, a Pepsi-commercial, and numerous cover-stories in major US-magazines let Shakira become the most successful Columbian artist of all times. However, her biggest personal achievement may be the nomination of her hit single “Wakka Wakka (This Time For Africa)” as the official FIFA World Cup song 2010.

As in 2006 with „Hips Don’t Lie“ the 33-year old sings together with the South African band Freshlyground, the current World Cup anthem in South Africa. “I feel so honored that “Waka Waka” got picked and I am thrilled to be part of the World Cup 2010 heritage and of all the outstanding ceremonies. The FIFA World Cup is a wonder of the world which unites every country, race and religion all around one passion.”

Save your tickets for the concert at O₂ World Berlin and think yourself back to the electrifying World Cup-mood with hits such as "Underneath Your Clothes", "She Wolf", "Give It Up To Me" and of course "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)"” on December 9th, 2010.
