World Cup 2010 Hijaz to Shakira
They say that music originated in Africa, they also say all human beings originated from Africa, and I am not here to argue the latter, but someone thought it would be good to prove the former, in a somewhat Darwinian way 
Here is a clip of Shakira’s song from the World Cup 2010 opening ceremony, followed by a Mizmar song called Makkah Makkah (I am not an authority on mizmar, and this could’ve easily been made after Shakira’s song)
So this is the video with both songs (and a little clip from tash ma tash at the end)
If you liked the mizmar song you can download it from here
I assume no responsibility if you felt like you wanted to hold a stick and get up and dance, mizmar does that to you

I guess the origin of the both melodies is the same; African. And you know what, both of them are encouraging you to dance
Hello,
and check this, please
this is the song of a cameroonian “band” (policemen in reality) of the 80′s made in order to encourage the troops.
Very similar also, isn’t it?
Really nice!
All versions of the “waka song” are excellent in their own way (thank you Italian Citizen from Switzerland for including the one you did).
I’m thinking the Bab al Mandeb Strait had something to do with the similitudes.
Definitely danceable, fetching a mizmar now!
Shakira’s a pretty person.
