Shakira, the world-famous Colombian singer, has expressed her love for Afrobeats and Burna Boy, as well as rising South African star, Tyla.
Speaking in a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ crooner disclosed that she is a huge fan of African music.
Shakira described her music taste as eclectic, honest and real.
She said, “If I could explain my taste in music in three words, I would say eclectic, honest and real.
“I love anything Afrobeats. I like Tyla, I like Burna Boy, anything Afrobeats. But I love Burna so much.”
Shakira sampled an African song ‘Zangaléwa’, by Cameroonian band Golden Sounds, for her 2010 South Africa World Cup official song, ‘Waka, Waka (This Time For Africa).’
