Waka Waka is a 2010 song by Shakira and the South African band Freshlyground, the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The lyrics celebrate Africa as a continent and its people, urging them to come together for a common purpose. The phrase "Waka Waka" is a reference to a traditional dance and means "listen to me, the one who sings".
Waka (Japanese: 和歌) or Yamato uta is a genre of Japanese poetry. Waka literally means "Japanese poem" in Japanese. The word waka was originally created by poets during the Heian Period to make clear the difference between native Japanese poetry and the kanshi (Japanese: 漢詩, "Chinese poems").
Watch on. Shakira's Waka Waka (This time for Africa) is a good example of globalisation. The song was created for one of the world's greatest global events, the World Championship in football in South Africa, the first on the African continent.
