Shakira and Burna Boy Perform 2026 World Cup Anthem in New York

Colombian singer Shakira and Nigerian Grammy‑winner Burna Boy teamed up to perform their 2026 FIFA World Cup official song “Dai Dai” at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, New York. The surprise appearance was part of Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour and followed the duo’s halftime show at the recently concluded World Cup final.

The live rendition highlighted the growing global reach of Afrobeats and underscored Burna Boy’s status as a leading African export. It also reinforced Shakira’s long‑standing link with World Cup music, adding a new anthem to the legacy that began with “Waka Waka” in 2010. The performance drew widespread online attention, with fans praising the chemistry between the artists and noting the crossover of African and mainstream pop sounds.

Shakira, who has featured on three World Cup tournaments, and Burna Boy, whose recent achievements include historic earnings from international concerts, used the event to further cement their international profiles.
