On Friday, July 12, The Today Show welcomes Puerto Rican singer and rapper Rauw Alejandro, former US women’s soccer players Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain, and Julie Foudy.
Rauw Alejandro will perform as part of the Citi Concert Series, teasing a “summer vibe” with “a lot of dancing [and] energy.” He will perform with a live band for the first time in a long while, and has confirmed that “Touching the Sky” and “Todo de Ti” will be among the songs in his set. Alejandro is a two-time Latin Grammy Award winner, with hits such as “Fantasías” and “Tattoo.”
Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain, and Julie Foudy, original stars of the US women’s soccer team, will reunite on the show. Now in their 50s, the retired players continue to exert their influence in various ways. Chastain and Foudy were part of the 1999 national team that won the World Cup, a victory that changed the landscape of how women’s team sports were covered. Foudy is now an analyst for ABC and ESPN, and she created the ESPN documentary The 99ers, which captures the magic of the team’s journey and their impact on the next generation of female athletes.
Superfood Friday also takes a look at some top Hacks with Joy Bauer.
