Pop icon Shakira has become a global representative of Colombia, particularly as a women representative.
Talking about this, the ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ singer said that she is proud to hail from the Latin American country.
Shakira was honoured by Spotify on September 29 as the platform declared it ‘Shakira Day’ for the entirety of Friday, and she was even announced as the Equal Global Ambassador for the month of September.
The whole ‘Shakira Day’ honour was given to the singer after she was extensively highlighted by the trend #ShakiraDeservesADay campaign, created by her Colombian fanbase.
The whole trend went viral on social media, which coupled with her popularity and acclaim for being the No.1 most listened to Latin American singer on the platform, was enough for her to be accorded the honour.
The singer also added: “The way Colombia has served as inspiration for my career as an artiste is immeasurable. Colombia is a never-ending source of inspiration: for colours, culture, sounds, stories, folklore, and food. It’s such a rich culture and I’m so grateful to have been raised where I was and have it be my lifelong muse,” People magazine reported. (IANS)
