In a cultural win for the region, Jamaican dancehall star Shenseea has joined forces with Puerto Rican reggaeton titan Daddy Yankee for a track tied to the FIFA World Cup 2026. The new single, Echo, was announced by Shenseea on social media on Tuesday and is now available for streaming.

Caribbean talent will be represented through two of its biggest musical exports, as Jamaica and Puerto Rico are both part of the wider Caribbean family.

The tournament is the most-watched sporting spectacle on the planet, drawing billions of viewers worldwide. Its official and affiliated songs often become timeless anthems, forever linked to the emotions, victories, and memories of the competition.

From Shakira’s iconic Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) in 2010 to more recent tournament-era hits, World Cup music has long played a central role in football culture. These records transcend sport, becoming soundtracks for celebration across continents.

For Shenseea, the moment marks another major milestone in an already impressive international rise. The Jamaican star has steadily built a global profile through collaborations with top-tier acts, high-energy performances, and crossover appeal. Her growing résumé also includes being featured on the soundtrack for The Smurfs Movie last year.

Daddy Yankee, widely regarded as one of the founding architects of reggaeton’s global explosion, has also helped take Caribbean urban music to mainstream heights.
