Shakira, Karol G, and Abel Pintos Shine at Copa América 2024 Final Showdown in Miami

The Hard Rock Stadium in Miami was the center stage for a spectacular fusion of football and music on Sunday, July 14, with the awaited Copa América 2024 final between Argentina and Colombia. Beyond the thrilling football match, the event transformed into a top-notch musical extravaganza featuring Shakira, Abel Pintos, and Karol G.

Before the kickoff, the national anthems of both countries resonated through the voices of two renowned artists. Karol G, the talented interpreter of hits like ‘Bichota’ and ‘Provenza’, passionately sang the Colombian anthem, stirring emotions among Colombian fans in the stadium and millions of viewers worldwide.

Meanwhile, Argentina enlisted the powerful voice of Abel Pintos to perform their national anthem. The acclaimed singer-songwriter, whose version of the anthem became institutionalized by the Asociación de Fútbol Argentino for national team matches, moved Albiceleste fans with his emotive rendition.

The highlight of the musical spectacle came during halftime when Shakira, the Colombian superstar, took over the stage in a show promising to resonate across the continent. Conmebol announced that this groundbreaking halftime show, the first in Copa América final history, would last approximately 7 minutes to facilitate smooth transition back to the game. However, speculations hover over a possible extension to 25 minutes, slated to start around 9:45 p.m.

Shakira, with a track record including performances at events like the Super Bowl and three FIFA World Cups, is set to captivate the audience with a mix of her well-known anthems and recent hits like ‘Puntería’, the official song of Copa América 2024 and part of her new album ‘Las mujeres ya no lloran‘. The artist is expected to be compensated $2 million for this few-minute appearance, showcasing her immense impact and popularity.

Karol G’s presence brings back some bitter memories for Argentine fans, as she performed at the buildup to the 2014 Brazil World Cup final, where Argentina fell to Germany 1-0. However, this time around, there’s hope that her performance will bring good luck to the Colombians.

While music stars shine on stage, an epic battle unfolds on the field between two South American football powerhouses. Lionel Messi seeks to lead Argentina to another continental title, while Colombia aims to break a more than two-decade drought without lifting the trophy.

The Copa América 2024 final will go down in history not only for the football outcome but also for the musical celebration that brought artists like Shakira, Abel Pintos, and Karol G together. A celebration uniting the passion for sport and music, promising to leave an indelible mark on the hearts of all fans present at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami and worldwide viewers.
