The Soccer World Cup (South Africa) Official Anthem

The soccer world cup official anthem has been released but not without controversy. Listen to the anthem and follow the story here. Even though some think the song should have been an exclusively African affair, the collaboration that led to the production of the song should be seen as essential in our contemporary, globalized world. Even though the host of the event is an African country, African hospitality warrants that ethnocentrism be eschewed. Ethnocentrism should be left to the powerful peoples of the world who do not need to collaborate with Africa when they host the same show.
