Shakira said,
“If I could explain my taste in music in three words, I would say eclectic, honest and real. I love anything Afrobeats. I like Tyla, I like Burna Boy, anything Afrobeats. But I love Burna so much.” The global superstar has long been a fan of African music, having sampled the iconic Cameroonian song “Zangaléwa” by Golden Sounds in her 2010 FIFA World Cup anthem “Waka, Waka (This Time For Africa)”.
Burna Boy, the Grammy-winning Nigerian artist, has clearly made a strong impression on Shakira with his unique sound and artistry.

Shakira’s endorsement of Burna Boy and other African artists like Tyla further highlights the cultural exchange and cross-pollination happening in the music industry, as artists from different backgrounds and regions continue to inspire and influence one another.
This mutual appreciation and collaboration between Shakira and Burna Boy is a positive sign of the continued globalization and diversification of the music landscape.
