In December 2023 Shakira, the Grammy award winning singer-songwriter, was honoured by a huge statue of herself dancing, in her home town of Barranquilla, in Colombia. The statue is 21 feet high. Shakira also has a Shakira Day, September 29th. The statue echoes her song, hips don't lie.
The city already had a statue of Shakira with a guitar. This has been there since 2018.
Her home town is known for its four day carnival.
