Burna Boy and Shakira Dazzle 80,000 Fans at FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony
The Afrobeats superstar and the Latin pop icon took the stage together at a sold-out Estadio Azteca. They debuted “Dai Dai,” the official tournament anthem, just hours after it was voted the greatest World Cup song ever. Shakira’s signature moves meshed with Burna Boy’s heavy grooves, backed by hundreds of dancers and a giant spinning trophy replica. Green, white, and red fireworks lit up the sky as the crowd roared. Before their set, Mexican rock legends Maná, Belinda, Danny Ocean and J Balvin celebrated local heritage with their own performances. This show cements Burna Boy’s global rise and highlights Nigerian music on the biggest stage. Shakira will return on July 19 to co-headline the final halftime show. Next up on the pitch is the opening match between hosts Mexico and South Africa.
