The title of Official Anthem for TelevisaUnivision
¡Prepárate, mi gente! Shakira, nuestra reina Colombiana, has teamed up with the fierce Cardi B to bring us “Puntería,” a track that’s about to become the heart-pumping anthem for TelevisaUnivision’s 2024 Copa America CONMEBOL coverage. The thrilling announcement was made by Shakira herself during the network’s Upfronts this past Tuesday in New York City. What a moment, amigos!
The Copa America se jugará del 20 de junio al 14 de julio en the United States, featuring 16 powerful teams from CONMEBOL and CONCACAF. So, get ready to watch, cheer, and dance along as “Puntería” captures the spirit of this grand event!
Now, let’s clear something up: while some reports might have gotten a little confused, “Puntería” isn’t the official anthem of Copa America itself – it’s the dynamite soundtrack for TelevisaUnivision’s coverage of the event. A spokeswoman for Sony Music, Shakira’s record label, clarified this to Billboard just a day after the big reveal.
During the announcement, Shakira shared, “It’s the most important soccer event of the year because we know this song is going to be the sound of the summer for fans around the world. It’s the power of our culture and our music.” Can you feel the vibra of our culture pulsing through?
“Puntería” was released on March 22, as the focus single from Shakira’s latest album, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.” This upbeat electro-pop gem quickly found its groove on the charts, hitting No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100, and No. 3 on Hot Latin Songs. ¡Qué éxito, Shakira! Plus, it topped both the Latin Airplay and Latin Pop Airplay charts.
Para los que no saben, this isn’t Shakira’s first rodeo with soccer anthems. Who can forget “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”? That was the official anthem of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and it had everyone moving their hips – Shakira style!
But wait, there’s more! If you want to relive the excitement, or if you missed the big unveiling, you can check out the music video for “Puntería” featuring Cardi B. It’s a visual fest that perfectly matches the vibrancy and energia of the song – perfect for getting you in the spirit to cheer on your favorite teams this summer.
So, compadres y comadres, as we gear up for this epic celebration of soccer and música, let’s all get ready to hit the play button on “Puntería” and let Shakira and Cardi B soundtrack our summer. The Copa America no va a saber qué lo golpeó with these powerhouse artists leading the charge. ¡Vamos a bailar y celebrar together as Shakira brings the Latino heat to the soccer field once again! Get your playlists ready and your dancing shoes on, because this summer, it’s all about fútbol, música, y cultura. ¡Arriba la copa!
