According to an AP report, Shakira followed the trend of hosting free concerts at Copacabana Beach, a practice previously embraced by artists like Beyonce. During the show, she performed a medley of her biggest hits, including 'Can't Remember to Forget You', 'Hips Don't Lie', 'I Am Here', and 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)'. In a surprise segment, Shakira invited fellow Brazilian singer Anita to join her on stage. Together, they performed the song 'Choka Choka', sending the crowd into a frenzy as fans danced to the infectious beats.
Massive Attendance and Interaction
The free concert was a resounding success. A statement from the city's mayor confirmed that approximately 2 million fans attended the event at Copacabana Beach. Throughout the performance, Shakira made a point to engage with her audience. In one segment, she reflected on the tour's theme, saying, 'Us women, every time we fall we get up a little wiser.'
