She is one of the most successful musicians in the world! Shakira (46) has enjoyed great success in recent years with hits like “Hips Don’t Lie” and “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”. Among other things, the mother of two was honored with three Grammy Awards. A few days ago the singer was given a very special honor: Shakira got her own statue!
In her hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia, a six and a half meter high bronze and aluminum statue was erected in Shakira’s honor. The sculpture shows her in her typical dance pose – her hands crossed above her head and a hip swing to the right. The singer proudly shares some shots of the figure on Instagram. Among other things, she posted a photo of her parents in front of the statue, which they were allowed to unveil on Tuesday.
The fans love this tribute Shakira enthusiastic. “The statue turned out spectacular! You deserve it!” or “That’s iconic! Congratulations!” are just two of the numerous enthusiastic comments on the musician’s post.
