00:00Shakira, well, it has been a series of very exciting concerts in Mexico.
00:06And I think that, along with Gabriel García Márquez,
00:10are the Colombians who Mexico loves the most, who Mexico has adopted.
00:14And a very important Mexican section that you have incorporated in this part of your tour,
00:19today with Grupo Frontera.
00:20If you can tell us a little bit about having had this Mexican section
00:24and with these guests tonight.
00:26I really wanted to give them a surprise.
00:28Every day I try to give them something more,
00:30because the Mexican public has been so faithful, so affectionate.
00:35It has raised me every time I have needed it.
00:40And well, I wanted to surprise them with something that reaches their heart.
00:46And Grupo Frontera, I love them, I love them.
00:49They have an incredible energy.
00:52They are an extraordinary talent.
00:55And I have a great time with them.
00:57Every time we did something together,
01:00well, since we worked on this song,
01:03or we participated together in the music video,
01:07it has always been a very human experience.
01:11They are so genuine.
01:13And I really admire that in an artist.
01:16So having them on stage was a real luxury.
01:19I was very excited when I saw them.
01:21I wanted to hug them all.
01:24And Payo has a very special aura.
01:27It's very nice.
01:28And his voice, well, it doesn't get out of tune even a note.
01:32It's incredible to sing with him.
01:34It's...
01:36It goes for sure.
01:38So it was an experience, it was very exciting.
01:40For me it was one of the highlights of today's concert.
01:45There will be more surprises now that you are going to the United States.
01:48I insist, this Mexican part was incorporated in this part
01:52that people celebrated so much.
01:54And the shows are coming now,
01:56a very important part of the tour,
01:58which will be in the United States,
02:00and with a Latino audience.
02:02That's right.
02:03There will be many Latinos in these concerts.
02:06I am sure that my Latino audience will accompany me
02:08in each and every one of these concerts.
02:13I wanted to do the first part of the tour as it was the show.
02:17I wanted them to receive the songs as I conceived them.
02:21But now I am going to incorporate some surprises,
02:23special guests that you are going to see in the United States.
02:26So I think it's going to be very exciting.
02:28To share with friends, with colleagues.
02:30The truth is that almost always,
02:32I'm not going to say always,
02:33but almost always when I enter the recording studio
02:35and collaborate with an artist,
02:37we end up forging a friendship.
02:39Friendships that last for years.
02:41Like with Carlos Vives, like with Alejandro Sanz,
02:43like with Maluma, like with Bizarrap.
02:46There are so many artists that have left their mark on me
02:50that it has been a beautiful experience to work with them
02:54and that I have also had the opportunity to forge a friendship.
03:01One year, Shakira, that this album came out,
03:04that you are supporting this tour,
03:06and that it has impressed so much empowerment of women.
03:12I want to ask you that.
03:14One year of what has happened with this album and this tour,
03:17how do you feel?
03:19I think it has been a healing process for me,
03:21for many people, not just women.
03:23Men too.
03:25I think that together we have learned that
03:29you learn from falls
03:32and that together we heal
03:37when we accompany each other.
03:42And that's what my audience has done with me.
03:44They have given me strength when I have needed it,
03:46when I have felt weak.
03:47And I know that I have helped them in some way.
03:49These are more than just concerts.
03:52They are really deep encounters
03:56where I think a healing happens on both sides.
04:02With each concert I feel stronger,
04:04I feel happier,
04:05and I want to be surrounded by my audience more.
04:08That's right.
04:09Thank you so much, Shakira, for your time
04:11and congratulations for this important residency
04:15in this impressive stadium.
04:17This is a gift you have given me.
04:21Thank you, Natalia.
