Pop star Shakira will perform before the World Cup final in Rio de
Janeiro on 13 July, headlining a closing ceremony that includes guitar
virtuoso Carlos Santana and rapper Wyclef Jean.
Shakira, who is
making her third straight World Cup appearance, will sing La la la
(Brazil 2014) with Brazilian star Carlinhos Brown, FIFA said in a
statement on Wednesday.
Santana, Wyclef and Brazilian singer
Alexandre Pires will perform the tournament’s official anthem, Dar Um
Jeito at the legendary Maracana Stadium. Pires will also perform a
medley of local music with Brazilian star Ivete Sangalo.
“I’m
thrilled to be performing my song La la la (Brazil 2014) at the 2014
FIFA World Cup closing ceremony,” said Shakira, who had a son last year
with Spain defender Gerard Pique.
“I have an intricate relationship
with football for obvious reasons, and I truly understand what the World
Cup means to so many people, myself included.”
