@Ghetto_kd Many artists have successful albums. Very few nearly 50-year-old female artists can:
Launch the highest-grossing Latin tour ever.
Sell millions of tickets in stadiums.
Win a Grammy.
Break Guinness records.
Headline a World Cup era again.
Remain among the most-streamed artists
@Ghetto_kd On March 1, 2026, Shakira performed a free concert at Mexico City’s Zócalo and drew an estimated 400,000 people, according to Mexico City authorities. That made it the largest concert ever held at the Zócalo, breaking the previous attendance record.
She’s not competing with anyone—she’s in a league of her own. ❤️🐺
The voice. The style. The stage presence. The fashion. The energy.
No matter the era, no matter the trend, Shakira remains untouchable. ✨🔥

@Jadxsc@MrInvictus_ La misma narrativa cansona y repetitiva de fanáticos de artistas que no son, no fueron ni serán consideradas para la canción del mundial, sigan llorando
Shakira sigue siendo el standard, te das cuenta cuando sale cualquier intento de canción mundialista y de una la comparan con la suya y no con ninguna otra de las que ya han salido hasta hace meses atrás
No, Shakira didn’t steal the whole song. Her “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” samples the chorus and “waka waka/zamina mina” hook from the 1986 Cameroonian track “Zangaléwa” by Golden Sounds.
She added original verses, and after controversy they reached an out-of-court settlement with credit and royalties for Golden Sounds (credited as co-writers). The chorus itself draws from older Cameroonian military slang/marching songs. It’s sampling + adaptation, not outright theft.
