There was fire, howling and a wealth of hip shaking at Shakira’s two-hour Camp World Stadium show on Wednesday night.
The Columbian singer-songwriter captivated a crowd of almost Hispanic fans, playing nearly 20 hits on his “Las Mugerez Ya No Loraran” world tour at three Florida’s first stops in Florida, capturing a crowd of almost Hispanic fans.
At 48, Shakira’s dance moves and powerful vocals seemed to have passed without any signs of aging. Like youthful and effervescent, the Hispanic superstar pulled from an entire catalogue dating back to 1995, his first show in Orlando since 2018.
“It’s incredible to be reunited with you all here. It’s a dream,” she said between songs. “I don’t feel any better than when her wolf came back with her pack.”
The theme of empowering women and resilience rang all night, as Shakira directed the stage and countless Hispanic musicians performed songs that paved the way for them to find their place in the music industry.
“Many of you know that the last few years have not been the easiest for me. But who’s not falling all over?” Shakira said before performing the 2005 song, “Don’t Chan.” “What I certainly know is that for our women, after every fall, we are a little stronger, smarter, and a little more resilient.”
“Las Mujeres Ya no Lloran” translated as “Women Don’t Cry Mort” and was released as a way to deal with grief from his parting with Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué.
Therefore, it will be held from “Shakira: BZRP Music Session, vol. 53”.
I thought you hurt me, but you made me strong
Women don’t cry anymore, they get cash
This was the night’s closing numbers featuring Shakira sandwiched between dancers, celebrating the triumphant return to narcissism, while the singer’s face rained like confetti and forged a $100 bill.
In the two hours that preceded, fans enjoyed surprises in the form of drum lines, salsa breakdowns, Shakira playing a shiny flying V-guitar, a giant wolf with lasers in its eyes, and many costume changes. The artist performed abdominal dance while holding a knife in his hand against a fiery background before launching his 2001 hit “Anytime Anytime.”
Other hits that took place all night long include “The Hip Don’t Lie”, “TQG”, “Chantaje”, “Girl Like Me”, “Antologia” and “She Wolf”.
The show’s video montage reminded me of how it began at her early age as a teenage performer with ambitions to conquer the world of Latin music. It reminded me of Shakira’s long career and her early success before she entered the English market. Her dreams are now being realized as a winner of four Grammy Awards and 15 Latin Grammy Awards.
As the night approached, “Wakawaka (for Africa this time)” featured all the best aspects of Shakira’s Orlando performance, from choreography to costumes, and a talented backing band that joined the singer-songwriter on stage.
All night, Shakira’s genre-bending style was drawn from music of reggaeton, salsa, soca and EDM, combining Latin rhythms, Arabic influences and rock elements.
The artist’s lifelong work of transcending barriers and drawing new paths felt suitable for Orlando, a city that creates its own story through the melting pot of diverse inhabitants. At Camping World Stadium, it was clear that fans enjoyed watching superstar struts around the stage, telling her own story and shaking her hips from start to finish.
