Colombian singer Shakira has expressed her love for Afrobeats and artists like Burna Boy and rising South African star Tyla.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ singer revealed her deep appreciation for African music.
Shakira described her music taste as eclectic, honest, and real.
“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,” she said.
Shakira previously sampled an African song, ‘Zangaléwa’ by Cameroonian band Golden Sounds, for her 2010 World Cup official song, ‘Waka, Waka (This Time For Africa).’
