Shakira and Burna Boy team up for 2026 FIFA World Cup anthem “Dai Dai”

Colombian superstar Shakira explained that she chose Nigerian Afrobeats artist Burna Boy for the official 2026 FIFA World Cup song because of his distinctive voice, which adds a strong African element to the track. The collaboration produced “Dai Dai,” a blend of Latin pop and African rhythms intended to become a defining soundtrack for the tournament hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Burna Boy, born Damini Ogulu, is a Grammy‑winning singer‑songwriter who has helped spread Afrobeats worldwide. His involvement signals the growing influence of African music on global events. While some fans have turned the duet into a viral romance speculation, the focus remains on the cultural exchange the anthem represents and its potential to unite football supporters and music lovers alike.
