World Cup Music Shock: Shakira and Burna Boy just dropped “Dai Dai,” the official 2026 FIFA World Cup anthem—Afrobeats meets Latin pop, multilingual and packed with football references. Big Stage, Big Cause: FIFA says royalties will fund the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, aiming to raise $100m for kids’ education and soccer, and the track’s profits are set to be donated. Halftime Show Buzz: The release lands right after FIFA confirmed a first-ever World Cup final halftime show on July 19 at MetLife Stadium, headlined by Madonna, Shakira and BTS, with the lineup curated by Chris Martin. Culture Under Pressure: In Zimbabwe, the Bokola Film Festival returns May 30 under “Hold the Line,” using film and art to explore survival amid economic strain. Human Stories: “Congo Boy,” a refugee rap film from Central African Republic director Rafiki Fariala, premiered to cheers at Cannes, blending survival with music.
