Btw, Puerto Ricans are US citizens. But don't let that stop them.

I knew Rhianna is from Barbados, and that British rock bands are generally British. But I had no idea Shakira was Colombian!

She is Colombian and half Lebanese, too.

And that is how she gives 150% at her shows!

(Sorry. Bad dad joke.)

I never learned any Spanish. I can barely guess at some meaning when its written thanks to learning French and random other bits and pieces of romance languages getting stuck in my head at some points.

So now that you wrote it out, yeah I guess that would be obvious, when she says they dance like that in Barranquilla. But there's no chance I would have ever heard that 😁
