Uganda’s celebrated dance troupe, Triplets Ghetto Kids, has reached a historic milestone, performing alongside international superstars Shakira and Burna Boy in the official FIFA World Cup 2026 anthem, “Dai Dai.”
Their electrifying performance during the tournament’s halftime show has captivated millions worldwide, marking a proud moment for Uganda on the global stage.
Founded in 2014 by Dauda Kavuma, Triplets Ghetto Kids emerged from the slums of Kampala with a mission to support disadvantaged children through music and dance. What began as a grassroots initiative has grown into a cultural phenomenon, inspiring hope and showcasing Uganda’s vibrant talent to the world.
The anthem “Dai Dai” blends Afrobeat rhythms with Latin pop energy, symbolizing unity and the spirit of football. Its release was accompanied by a star-studded music video featuring football icons such as Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and Erling Haaland. Yet, it was the youthful energy and authentic choreography of the Triplets Ghetto Kids that stole the spotlight, earning global praise.
During the World Cup Final halftime show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the troupe’s dynamic dance moves brought African culture to the forefront, complementing Shakira’s powerful vocals and Burna Boy’s Afrobeat flair.
