everyone is making fun of this but it’s a traditional arabic celebration chant, referred to as “zaghroota”
4. Yes, that was J.Lo's daughter, Emme Maribel Muñiz, singing "Let's Get Loud" during her mom's set. The staging, which featured Emme and other children in silver cages, was a subtle nod to family separation policies at the southern border.
5. At the very beginning of her set, Shakira danced a style called Mapalé, which is of Afro-Colombian origin.
6. During her performance of "Waka Waka," she also performed champeta, a dance native to her hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia.
Btw this dance is called Champeta and it is originated in Shakira’s hometown of Branquilla Colombia! It’s respected for its footwork and it’s an important part of Colombian culture 💃🏼
7. Ahead of her performance, Shakira introduced Liz Dany Campo Diaz, the young Colombian dancer who helped her incorporate champeta into her performance.
8. Swing Latino, a world-champion salsa group from Cali, Colombia, performed with J.Lo near the end of her set.

13. Shakira's three outfits were by Norwegian designer Peter Dundas and featured nearly two million Swarovski crystals.
14. The choreography for J.Lo's set was put together by Parris Goebel and featured dancers from Royal Family, a champion hip-hop dance group from New Zealand.
15. The preparation process for J.Lo's dancers involved six weeks of daily nine-hour rehearsals.

17. J.Lo and Shakira might not be the first Latinx artists to perform in the halftime show, but 2020 is the first time that a large portion of the singing was in Spanish.
