In 1985 a group of soldiers (artist) under the name Golden Sounds, realized a song that today has been the second anthem of Cameroon after the national anthem. Zangalewa was the name of the song that hit across all corners of Africa. Jean Paul Ze Bella the lead singer alongside Kojic Emile and Victor Dooh Belley explained the source of their inspiration as a way to pay tribute to Cameroon soldiers who fort during the Second World War. During the Second World War the Cameroon soldiers created a slang for better communication between themselves from which Golden sounds mimicked the pace to come out with the arrangement Zangalewa.
Shakira amongst other musicians like Alicia Keys, Black Eyed Peas, Juanes, Amadou and Mariam have been called upon to animate during the opening ceremony of the world cup 2010. It is in this light that Shakira Zangalewa was created by Shakira. Shakira a Colombian born American icon has modified Zangalewa to Shakira's Zangalewa in preparation for the opening ceremony of world cup 2010. With no aorta of doubts Shakira Zangalewa is an inspirational song that will suit the events of the world cup. It is a song filled with power and command.
The rhythm of Zangalewa and now Shakira's Zangalewa is a military rhythm that will prepare players of all nationalities against the football battle. It is the right song for a tournament because it encourages competition and a fighting spirit. The Cameroonian football team is lucky and proud of this heritage as it will symbolize and project the countries name during this tournament.This will also act as a moral booster to the team as they have never prepared for a competition as much as this.
Each world cup tournament has its own leading song, but Shakira's Zangalewa is a song with a difference for world 2010. It is a song written and chanted by a native African, and a song from Cameroon the leading football nation in Africa. A song being remade by one of the world's greatest singers will create an impact yet to be seen during this tournament.
