Kampala's Ghetto Kids ready to join Shakira at the 2026 World Cup

The Ghetto Kids, a Ugandan dance troupe composed of children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, have been chosen by Shakira to perform at the halftime show of the 2026 World Cup final in the United States. The invitation follows a multi-year relationship with the Colombian artist, which began when they made a video to a Shakira song used for Zootopia. Founder Dauda Kavuma and dancer Josephine Daniella Busingye express their excitement.
