“Hips that don’t deceive”: Shakira immortalized by a statue in Colombia

Colombian pop icon and international star, singer Shakira is immortalized by a bronze statue inaugurated in her hometown of Barranquilla. This 6.5 meter tall bronze and aluminum monument depicts the singer performing one of her signature dance moves, wearing a bra and a long brown skirt.

“Hips that don't lie, incomparable talent, a voice that touches the masses,” reads the base of the sculpture, unveiled in a public ceremony on the banks of the Magdalena River in Barranquilla, on the coast northern Colombia, in the presence of the singer's parents, William Mebarak and Nidia Ripoll.

“Thank you to the sculptor Yino Márquez and the students of the district art school for this illustration of the enormous artistic talent of the people of my country,” Shakira wrote on X (ex-Twitter).

The 46-year-old global star relaunched his career this year with Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53, which recounts his difficult separation from ex-FC Barcelona footballer Gerard Piqué. Created with Argentinian DJ Bizarrap, the song immediately became a global hit and won the 2023 Latino Grammy for Song of the Year.

Shakira also made headlines for her troubles with the law in Spain, where she was fined more than seven million euros in November for tax evasion and remains the subject of several proceedings.
