Shakira’s hips and all that jazz
IF YOU, man or woman, were not already in love with Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll before, then you would certainly have fallen in love on Saturday night at the Plymouth Jazz Festival.
The tiny blonde dynamo shook the crowd with her almost flawless performance as she bellydanced and pranced her way barefooted across the stage belting out a delightful blend of both her Latin and English hits.
From the moment she entered the stage the crowd went wild, climbing on their chairs to get a better look at the hip-swaying 31-year old beauty from Colombia who has charmed the world with her hits and hips.
The high-energy performance was briefly interrupted into her second song when there was a power outage on the stage and there was some panic in the audience that the show would be brought to an abrupt halt but Shakira handled the situation beautifully and reassured the crowd that “these things happen” and even if the lights had gone she was not leaving.
Her performance for the night included several costume changes, ending with a belly-dancer’s outfit in shades of blue and purple in which she performed her international hit “Hips Don’t Lie”. As usual her hip swinging movements could have brought grown men to tears. Her other major hits performed included “Don’t Bother”, “Whenever, Wherever” and “Underneath Your Clothes”.Though the night belonged to Shakira there were other sterling performances from the eternally youthful Steelpulse and the four fashion-plates of En Vogue.
