Shakira and Uganda's Triplets Ghetto Kids shared a deeply emotional farewell backstage in New York after performing together at the #FIFAWC2026 halftime show and her subsequent Barclays Center concert.

Visibly moved members of the dance group cried during a heartfelt goodbye with the pop star. Shakira comforted the young dancers, telling them not to be sad and promising, "We're going to be friends forever". She promised to call them once they returned to Uganda, noting that her sons Milan and Sasha would also reach out, and invited the group to visit her upcoming shows in Madrid.

"The Triplets Ghetto Kids have brought us their contagious joy and love, and have inspired us so much with their talent, to remind us that like them there are many kids who live forgotten, and who possess an enormous potential waiting to be unlocked and are just waiting for the opportunity to offer their best!

What could be more urgent for our governments, businesspeople and professionals, than investing in children? What has to happen so that kids around the world receive equal opportunities?

Thank you to the Ghetto Kids of Uganda for awakening these questions in us and for transforming our lives with your magic." Shakira wrote on her social media.
