HBD Shakira: Watch Her Best Dance Hits That Will Make You Go ‘Waka Waka’

The Queen Of Latin Music, Shakira turns 44 today and is still ruling song charts and hearts of the people across the world. The woman who didn’t need a surname to dominate the global music scene started her journey from the bottom which has inspired and will inspire artistes to dream big.

Shakira was born and brought up in the small town of Barranquilla, Colombia. Her family went bankrupt when she was a child and had to struggle to make ends meet. However, even during the toughest times, she once said, she knew she would be famous one day so that kept her going. The Latina beauty was right after all as she landed her first record deal when she was just 13 years old.

While she was already a big name in the Latin music industry, she started learning English and writing songs in English. The rest is all history.

Whenever Wherever is one of the finest exhibits of how the diva can revamp belly dance with every new song and different moods. Her dance goes from subtle to energetic only with belly moves in only a matter of four minutes.

Hips Don’t Lie is that one song that transformed Shakira into a global brand. She moved from Latin songs to English music in this song. However, the beats were indigenous and the choreography was true to her Latina spirit.

Loca is Shakira’s authentic self at its best, the Spanish version is quirky with a lot of chest-thumping music and high energy beats.

Shakira’s latest track at 44, Girl Like Me with Black Eyed Peas is minimalistic and groovy. The video proves that this rockstar’s dance has only gotten finer with time and she can give the younger generation a run for their money.
