World Cup Song

Many of you are not aware of a singer by the name of K’naan. Many of you will end up knowing him after the time period of June 11th to July 11th. That’s right. K’naan’s song got picked to be the official 2010 FIFA World Cup Song. K’naan is a Somalian musical artist who likes to talk about his home continent of Africa. It seemed only right for his song, Wavin Flag, to be used in the World Cup. I was familiar with K’naan’s music before it he became extremely famous. This was by far his most famous song. Of course, the song itself has been through many revisions for different circumstances.Here is the original.

That song was revised for the incident in Haiti as well. Many famous singers were used including Drake and Justin Bieber. Here is that version.

There was also many revisions for the World Cup as well. Here is that version.

The song as you can see has been reproduced into different languages such as my very own language of Arabic. Nancy Ajram, a famous singer in the Arab world is featured in that version. Here is that version.

As you can see, this song has already started to take fame world wide and is going to continue to grow. Congrats to K’naan.
