Join Alejandra and Loïc on this journey through Shakira's collaborations during 2026. Starting with "Algo Tú" alongside Beéle, this duet brought us a refreshing pause within the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran era with a Caribbean rhythm that highlights the sounds of Barranquilla in this tribute to her homeland, continuing with an unexpected collaboration between Anitta and Shakira with "Choka Choka", a track that reinforces female energy with a heavy funk-afrobeat sound, in which Shakira surprised us with her return to recording in Portuguese.
And finally, we discuss "Eurosummer" by Zara Larsson, and the mystery surrounding the music video they shot together that was never released... a true shakimystery.What is no mystery is that Shakira, amidst a world tour, has taken the time to continue working on musical projects that make us dance, sing, and enjoy life. Could we have more collaborations for the rest of the year?

From the song’s flirtatious and playful lyrics to its surprising presence on tour setlists, don’t miss our personal opinions, favorite moments, and why this track continues to stand out among fans years later.
We also revisit the era surrounding Oral Fixation Vol. 2, a time when Shakira was fully embracing experimentation in both her sound and songwriting. Dive into the discussion of how “Hey You” captures the carefree, rebellious energy that made the album so unique, blending rock influences with playful pop attitude.
Throughout the conversation, we explore the song’s contrasts, bold imagery, and cheeky lyricism while debating where it fits within Oral Fixation Vol. 2. This episode celebrates why “Hey You” remains a hidden favorite that deserved far more attention.

En este episodio, Alejandra y Sam hablan sobre ‘Gordita’, una de las colaboraciones más ocultas de la industria del pop latino, pero memorable entre Shakifans.
Más allá de ser un apodo cariñoso o simplemente una canción del álbum Sale el Sol, ‘Gordita’ abrió una conversación en este episodio de Shakipedia sobre la forma en la que Shakira se adueña de la narrativa sobre su cuerpo, mientras la lírica de René Pérez, Residente de Calle 13, le da a este dueto una personalidad única e irreverente que nos pone a bailar.
Además, descubre cómo fue el acercamiento entre Shakira y Residente a mediados de los años 2000 y cómo una conexión previa con Calle 13 terminó llevando a esta inesperada mezcla de pop y reggaetón. ¿Sabías que Shakira ya había compartido escenario con el dúo boricua antes de escribir esta canción juntos?
