The song of 2010 was from a Somalian rapper named Knaan. He started to bubble in music circles in America but it wasn't really until the 2010 World Cup that his career took off. His debut album had just been released but it was his song "Wavin' Flag" that made him an international sensation. His song promoted freedom and happiness and soon became the number 1 song in a record number of countries.
This song linked to politics in that it connected many nations through music at a time when countries are meant to mingle each other the most, the World Cup. It songs like these that give hope that world peace is attainable.
Eddie! I'm sorry we missed this one in class today. I was saving the international leaning songs for the end of class, but we didn't get there. Thanks for your contribution!
