A magical song

For Shakira Hips Don’t Lie He has a very significant weight in his career. And it is that this song, in which the cumbia merged with other Latin rhythms and hip hop, became a globar success, even making it in charge of closing the 2006 World Cup in the Soccer World Cup in Russia with this issue. However, all this was only one step if not possible. “The experiment of combining Colombian cumbia, the cumbia of the Caribbean coast where I am, I wanted to incorporate this element into this song, although it was a risk, because it was not known how the North American radio was going to react. Just this song arose, I called the president of Sony Music and I said: ‘You have to collect everything that is in this album in the market, I recipate it and we are going to print a song that I have to print, To be the most ‘”, the performer said in a talk he held with GQ Spain.

And although his label was prudent and tried to stop the launch of the song, considering that Latin rhythms may not be attractive to the Anglo market, I knew that this song was going to be Romconfiafia in Shakira’s intuition. “And I was not wrong because Hips Don’t Lie I can for me, for my career at that time he broke all records, “he added.
