Shakira is gearing up to join the exciting lineup of the upcoming Billboard Latin Music Week. The beloved Colombian superstar is scheduled to grace the stage at the Faena Forum in Miami Beach for a special event where she will share insights on her remarkable journey in the music world. This event is all set to coincide with National Hispanic Heritage Month, promising to be a celebration not to be missed.
The popular artist is set to perform alongside a star-studded lineup including Nicki Nicole, Nathy Peluso, Maria Becerra, Peso Pluma, Sebastian Yatra, Fonseca, Eladio Carrion, Grupo Frontera, Young Miko, Arcangel, and other talented Latin musicians from October 2-6, 2023.
The 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards will align with Billboard Latin Music Week, happening on October 5 and airing on Telemundo. Despite facing a major life change by relocating to Miami with her children Sasha and Milan, Shakira is thriving. By dropping new music, partnering with fresh talents, and embracing her post-divorce journey, the renowned star has reclaimed her status as one of the best-selling female Latino artists in history.
At the moment, the singer holds the title of the most-watched Latin female artist on YouTube, ranking among the top 5 artists with a total of over 25 billion views. She has also become the most popular female Latin artist on Spotify in terms of streams. Shakira has been recognized as Billboard’s leading female Latin artist of the decades 2000 and 2010, and has amassed a impressive collection of awards, including seven Billboard Music Awards, thirty-nine Billboard Latin Music Awards, three Grammy Awards, twelve Latin Grammy Awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Beyond her successful career in show business, Shakira has made a difference in the lives of children in Colombia through her establishment of the Pies Descalzos Foundation back in 1997. This foundation has worked on constructing and improving 9 public schools in various areas such as Cartagena, Barranquilla, Guajira, and Quibdó, with 6 more currently being built. Through the efforts of Pies Descalzos, over 40 million dollars have been raised to date, benefiting more than 150,000 children and nearly 900,000 families.
