This is the real one we listen in Barranquilla ,Colombia for first time back in the 80's when we were teenagers and Shakira also did. Thats why she knew about this song and selected to the FIFA to make it official song for the World Cup 2010.In Barranquilla we love any kind of music and african music is not the exception to the rule! Long Life AFRICA! And Thanks Shakira to make it popular.
everyone stop saying one is better or something, Shakira and her team wrote this song in hommage to this song the original because it was also popular in her home country for a while. sheeeeesh.
I like Shakira's version much better but this one should have been the World Cup theme because this band is from Africa and it has a more traditional African sound.
I love Shakira, but this one's got more of that African spirit to it; The harmonizing, the rhythm and the music in general, I love it!
I almost wish this would've been played at the World Cup instead of hers (no hating on hers, because it's great too), but they should've had more African artists opening at FIFA! It would've been nice to see some homage paid to a few more African artists!
I feel like I'm digging in the crates with this one LOL ... I like this alot, but I also can't hate on Shakira's version. I like Shakira's aggressive tone on the chorus, the "This Time for Africa" let's you know who's running the show...
Die ursprüngliche Fassung ist wirklich nicht schlecht. Ein altes afrikanisches Soldatenlied gesungen von der Kameruner Band Golden Sounds. Aber hat Shakira und der große Chor es nicht toll aufgepeppt?

I like this one the most because the orginal truly captures the feeling of the players and captivated an entire nation. Shakira couldn't do that

I like Shakira's version better, but this does sound cool. And I like the "this time for Africa" in Shakira's version.

There is another Waka Waka which was recorded in 1982, look up "El Negro No Puede" by "Las Chicas del Can", a Dominican Merengue group.
