The “Loba” interpreter knows in her own flesh what it implies being a Latin migrant in the United States. In a recent interview with the BBC, Shakira remembered his arrival in the country with other Colombians who also sought a better future:
“And I remember that I was surrounded by Spanish-English dictionaries and synonym dictionaries, because at that time I didn’t have Google or Chatgpt for (helping me). So everything was very precarious. Then I got into poetry and started reading some of Leonard Cohen, Walt Whitman and Bob Dylan, trying to understand how English works in the composition of songs. that.”
When reflecting on the current situation of migrants, “Shak” said:
“Being immigrant means living with constant fear and it is painful to see it. I just hope they can be treated under the principles of equity and freedom. Those are the principles that shape this country and in general many other powerful countries in the world.”
