I actually think it's above average. Definitely better than the generic reggaeton I was expecting. They both mixed in their own styles to stay true to themselves and maintained a true feeling inclusion of all cultures with Spanish thrown in and references to international footballers and countries. Yes, it has its sonic similarities to Waka Waka and I prefer a more obviously danceable World Cup anthem but this is a lot better than the flat, grown-in-a-lab trash we've had the last few tournaments.

Lots of Spanish and Latin cultures, especially when it comes to dance and music genres, had their roots in Africa. That stuff is naturally a part of their culture too. And race and culture intermingle when you get black Hispanics. It's a cultural exchange in many ways and I've never seen anyone have a problem with it. And Shakira herself has Arabic roots which is where her bellydancing originated from.
