Colombian pop sensation Shakira is set to dazzle audiences once again at the World Cup closing ceremony, scheduled for July 13, 2014, at Rio de Janeiro’s iconic Maracana stadium. The Grammy-winning artist will grace the stage with her infectious energy and perform her latest World Cup anthem, ‘La La La (Brazil 2014)’. This lively track features a star-studded lineup including football luminaries like Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr, and James Rodriguez, as well as her own family members Milan (her son) and Gerard Pique (her partner).

Known for her dynamic performances and global appeal, Shakira expressed her deep connection to football, acknowledging the sport’s profound impact on her life and millions around the world. She shared her excitement about showcasing ‘La La La’ to fans who have passionately embraced the song throughout the tournament.

Joining Shakira at this grand finale event are music legends Carlos Santana and Wyclef Jean, who will deliver the official anthem ‘Dar Um Jeito’ alongside Brazilian artists Alexandre Pires and Ivete Sangalo. This ensemble promises a vibrant celebration of music and football, blending international rhythms with the host nation’s rich musical heritage.

For Shakira, this marks her third consecutive appearance at a World Cup closing ceremony, following memorable performances in South Africa (2010) with ‘Waka Waka’ and Germany (2006). Her enduring presence underscores her status not only as a chart-topping artist but also as a cultural ambassador whose music resonates deeply across borders and generations.
