Afrobeats Meets Latin Pop: Burna Boy Joins Shakira on Official 2026 World Cup Anthem

Afrobeats Meets Latin Pop: Burna Boy Joins Shakira on Official 2026 World Cup Anthem — 1 of 6
1 / 6

Shakira is back on the global stage with “Dai Dai,” the official song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. She teased the high-energy collaboration with Burna Boy from Rio de Janeiro’s Maracanã Stadium, complete with vibrant dance routines, fireworks and the bold declaration, “WE ARE READY.” This marks the first time a Nigerian Afrobeats star will feature on a World Cup anthem since Davido’s 2022 hit. Burna Boy adds his Afro-fusion flair to Latin pop royalty, building on his memorable Champions League show in Istanbul. Fans can look forward to the full release on May 14. With its fusion of sounds and global rhythms, “Dai Dai” could become one of the most talked-about World Cup anthems in history.
