Despite the North Londoners winning the match with a stunning late goalscoring spree, the real winner of the night was Shakira. While Arsenal’s emphatic win and controversial VAR calls against Manchester United were in the news; the clip that went viral from the match has been a brass band’s performance of a chartbuster by Shakira.

The song was performed inside the stadium by the band premises with spectators cheering and gasping in awe. The performance was so soothing to the ears that Shakira herself acknowledged its beauty. Hence she shared the clip on her Instagram profile further pushing the clip to virality.

Last night saw the Gunners take on the Red Devils in what was an excruciating affair. It was an action-packed match with both the  team’s putting their best foot forward. Moreover, the high-quality on-pitch action was backed by the buzzing soccer fans at the Emirates Stadium.

However, what added icing to the electric atmosphere was the presence of a brass band. While the details behind the presence of the band are unknown as of now; the ensemble’s 21-second in-stadium performance has gone viral. The reason is their extremely beautiful rendition of Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie”. The music by the band was so delightful that Shakira herself shared the clip of the recital on her social media.

Interestingly, this tribute performance comes days before Shakira is set to be honored by MTV for her legacy.
