LOS ANGELES: Alicia Keys and Shakira are teaming up for a spectacular one-off duet for the NBA All-Star celebration in Texas later this month (Feb10).

Keys and the She-Wolf hitmaker will join forces on a surprise number, as well as each singing a selection of their own tunes midway through the celebrity basketball game in Arlington, Texas.

Usher will kick-off the match, which will air live on U.S. TV on 14 February (10), with a performance of hit track Yeah! and his new song More, which has been used to promote the 2010 sporting event.
