Sculpture Of Vocalist Shakira In Hip twirling Posture Revealed In Her Home City
Grammy-winning Colombian vocalist Shakira, one of the world’s top-selling performers, has been deified in her well known hip twirling present in a goliath bronze sculpture in her home city of Barranquilla.
The city’s Chairman Jaime Pumarejo uncovered the 6.5 meter (21 foot) mold in a recreation area along the banks of the Magdalena Waterway on Tuesday in the organization of the vocalist’s folks.

The model shows the long, wavy haired vocalist hip twirling with her arms above, in a sheer skirt with gleaming aluminum design.

“A heart that creates, hips that don’t lie, an unequaled ability, a voice that moves masses and feet that walk to ultimately benefit youngsters and humankind,” it peruses.
Shakira, who lives in Miami, said in an explanation from the city chairman’s office that she was respected by the sculpture and that Barranquilla will constantly be her home.
