Shakira will perform her song “La La La (Brazil 2014)” alongside Brazilian percussionist and singer Carlinhos Brown. “I have an intricate relationship with football for obvious reasons, and I truly understand what the World Cup means to so many people, myself included,” Shakira said in a statement from FIFA. Mexican-American guitarist Carlos Santana, Haitian-American hip-hop artist Wyclef Jean and Brazilian singer Alexandre Pires will perform the official anthem of the 2014 World Cup “Dar Um Jeito,” Portuguese for “We Will Find a Way.” The closing ceremony will also feature a samba performance from one of the Rio de Janeiro schools that participate in the city’s famous Carnival celebrations.
