Currambera's video, in which the artist's father and several Barranquilla Carnival queens participated, "tells the life story of world star Shakira through different scenes, linking it with her musical career and at the same time, tells us of the characteristics of the Barranquilla woman”, said the Sony production company in a statement.
"She is the result of a culture, or better, the meeting of many cultures in this magical place called Curramba," Carlos Vives said in a reference to Barranquilla, according to the statement.
The song is also a tribute to all the women of Barranquilla, the curramberas; to her dances, her movements and her hips: Currambera , that lights up your skirt. Cumbiamba that you move your hip”, repeats the Colombian singer.
Shakira turns 45 this February 2, with a career of more than three decades in music that has left songs like I'm here or I leave you Madrid or the transition to urban rhythms with hits like Loba, Rabiosa or La bici, in which collaborates with Carlos Vives. (AND)
