Learning from Leonardo Koen
The performance in Miami also meant a lot to her, she says, because it’s a city that she moved like a teenager, hoping to break across the Western pop market.
At that moment, she was already a star in Colombia, but she knew that international success demands singing in English.
The only problem was that she never learned.
« I was only 19 when I moved to America, like many other Colombian immigrants who come to this country looking for a better future, » she says.
« And I remember that I was surrounded by Spanish-English vocabulary and dictionaries synonyms, because at the time I had Gugl or Fatherpt as help. So everything was very uncertain.
« And then I was interested in poetry and I started reading a little Leonardo, Volta and Bob Dylan, trying to understand how English was working when it was writing songs, » she said so. « She says.
Lately, she had been thinking about these experiences much, about her acceptance of America, and as he has a different attitude towards immigrants from the Administration Tramps.
While receiving Grammy award for the best Latin pop album at the beginning of the year, it was directly touched on those situations.
« I dedicate this award to my brothers and sisters of immigrants in this country. You are loved and worthy, and I will always fight you, » she said.
How is the feeling, I ask her, be an immigrant in the immigrant in America today?
« It means living in constant fear and hurts when you look at it, » she says.
« Today, more than ever before, we must remain united.
« Today, more than ever before, we need to raise the voice and make it known that the country can change immigrant policy, but the treatment of all people must always be humane, » Shakira is convinced.
It is a powerful message – spoken in part in Spanish until the witches address directly to Latin American fans.
That connection is partly responsible for the success of this tour, the fans adults together with the shakiro and watched their own reflection in it.
In Miami, the audience is composed of all generations – Mothers and daughters sing the 1990s hits such as « Sueños Blancos », « Sueños Blancos », and jumping on the triumphant « Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) ».
Therefore, the emotional peak of the performance comes with the song « Acróstico », a gentle ballad written for her children, promising them that they will remain strong during breakdown with Pike.
While it performs, Milan (12) and Sasha (10) appear on the video screens, singing in duet with mother.
« My heart melts every time I see them on that screen and I hear their vocations.
« They are all. They are my driving force and the reason I am alive. And that I can have them every night on the scene means a lot to me, » says the star.
This is the first time that the boys adults sufficient to see the mother performing at the concert and she admits that « feelings are mixed » in this regard.
« Whenever I’m performing, they are stressed, because they want everything to be perfect for me, » she says.
« They’re always worried, they tell me, ‘Mom, how did it go? Did you fall? Are you okay?’
« And I’m trying to show them there’s no perfect concert. It’s okay to make mistake, » he adds.
Question for British fans: Will the tour move to Europe?
« You’ll have to follow the news. Wait and see, » he’s joking.
