If you were scrolling through your social media feeds this weekend, you probably came across this one video: a young woman, supposedly "possessed", participated in a ritual of disobsession in a church evangelical. The content is common in religious profiles. However, what is unusual is what the young woman said. Or rather, sang: the music Waka Waka, from the singer Shakira.
In the images that went viral on social networks, the young woman sings the chorus of Waka Waka, while the religious pray around her. The song is one of the most popular by the Colombian singer and was very successful in mid-2014, when it was the theme of world Cup from South Africa.

In addition, it is one of the songs that cannot be missing from the singer's concerts. Over time, the song ended up becoming one of Shakira's trademarks, as well as Hips Don't Lie It is I'm here.
It is good to reinforce that the chorus of the song is sung in several languages popular in Africa. Therefore, it is not a “mystical” language.

Although the video has won the four corners of the internet over the past weekend, little is known about its origin. There is no information about the “possessed” young woman who sang Waka Waka. Nor is it known whether it was a serious moment within the religion or a video in a jocular tone to go viral on social networks.
Inside the Spiritism, disobsession happens when a medium removes spirits that are harming a person, sucking their vital energy. There is, however, no “possession”.
within the evangelical churches, the activity is commonly called “unloading”. The theory is similar, but the practice differs greatly, given that there are manifestations of spirits and supposed "demons" in the faithful of the church. With the prayers of pastors, workers and the faithful themselves, the unwanted visitor eventually leaves the person, who comes to himself.
