June 14, 2010 – Dance music icon Sharam has remixed Shakira’s Official FIFA
World Cup song, ‘Waka Waka’. The Grammy-winning DJ has applied his unique
touch to Shakira’s original, transforming it into a dance floor anthem
worthy of a World Cup winner, complete with his signature sound and
African-style drums.
Shakira said, “Sharam has brought a unique spin to his interpretation of
“Waka Waka”. He has brought the song to the dance floor. This is one of
those artistic collaborations that makes perfect sense.”
The FIFA World Cup is easily the most widely viewed and followed sporting
event in the world, exceeding the Olympics which put the “Waka Waka” remixes
on a world stage. The song is already in the hands of the world’s top DJs
and will be released later this month.
“Anyone who knows me will tell you I am a sports buff and the FIFA World
Cup is the biggest sporting event in the world. To work on the official song
is a landmark achievement for me, something I’ve dreamt about doing since
making music became a part of my life. I have always admired Shakira’s
unique twist on pop music and when she asked me to remix Waka Waka, I didn’t
hesitate,” says Sharam.
