The Colombian queen of hip shaking and belly-dancing has done it again, releasing yet another chart-topping album infused with Latino and reggaeton sounds. The video for her latest single, ‘Perro Fiel’, featuring Puerto Rican singer Nicky Jam, includes clips of the star painted head to toe in gold as she displays her famous moves, looking as young as the day she started. The Barcelona-based singer arrived on the music scene in the early Nineties, first earning commercial success in Latin America before breaking the English-language market with her award-winning album Laundry Service (2002). At 40, Shakira continues to reach audiences around the globe singing in both English and Spanish, but it is not only language barriers that she is crossing. As a UNICEF ambassador, the singer also dedicates her time to breaking down barriers to education in her native Colombia. So far, she has opened six schools for displaced or underprivileged children. Her work has not gone unnoticed and led to her rubbing shoulders with Barack Obama after he appointed her to his advisory commission on educational excellence for Hispanics. Her latest album, El Dorado (2017), is a true expression of her Latino roots and is sure to attract worldwide attention.
