Twenty years have passed since the entire world began to move to the rhythm of “Hips Don’t Lie”, and Shakira has decided to pay tribute to this modern classic of his repertoire in a very special way.
The singer, who is on her tour “Women no longer cry World Tour” will return to the stage of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The Colombian prepares a performance that not only celebrates the success of the song, but also its cultural impact two decades after its launch ..
The artist’s participation in the famous American Late-Night Show is scheduled for Tuesday, May 6, when he will share the stage with Wyclef Jean, his original partner in this explosive collaboration.
The appearance in the program is part of the prelude to its expected tour of the United States, which will begin on May 13 in the city of Charlotte. This presentation adds to the multiple occasions in which the Barranquilla has shone on the Fallon set.
His most recent presence was in March this year, when he promoted his album Women no longer cry And he participated in a fun sketch with Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore, in which a lies detector tested if “Shakira’s hips lie.”
The impact of the song globally
“Hips Don’t Lie”, launched in 2006, not only became the first issue of Shakira in the Billboard Hot 100but also broke borders with its fusion of Latin sounds, hip hop and global rhythms.
With more than seven million copies sold at the time, and also remembered for sounding in the closure of the 2006 World Cup, “Hips Don’t Lie” remains one of the most emblematic pieces of Latin pop. The energy, the mixture of cultures and the message of empowerment that it transmits have made this song lose validity. And now, Shakira brings her to the stage again, not only as a nostalgic act, but as a reaffirmation of her musical legacy.
