Dua Lipa paid an emotional tribute to Shakira during her concert in Bogota, where she surprised thousands of fans by performing “Anthology,” one of the Colombian singer's iconic songs.

On Friday night at El Campin Stadium, the star British singer Dua Lipa included the Barranquilla native's song in her Radical Optimism World Tour, singing it in Spanish with clear pronunciation and great feeling, connecting with the Colombian audience.

Before beginning her performance, Dua Lipa explained in near-perfect Spanish that she wanted to dedicate a song that inspires her because of the evolution and global impact of its author, generating a wave of emotion among the attendees.

Shakira's classic, released in the mid-90s on her album Pies Descalzos, resonated in the stadium as fans joined in the chorus, making the moment go viral on social media due to the sincerity with which the British singer performed the ballad.

Dua Lipa had already paid tribute to other Latin artists during her tour in countries like Argentina, Mexico, and Chile, but the performance in Bogota reached a special level because of her dedication to singing the song that captivated everyone.

After the emotional tribute, the Barranquilla native didn't rest on her laurels.

Shakira expressed her gratitude to the British artist. Through her Instagram account, Shakira shared a snippet of Dua Lipa's performance of "Antologia." "I'm so excited to hear my song sung by Dua, in the same city where I wrote it years ago. See how music unites us? One girl from London and another from Barranquilla!" the Colombian singer wrote on her social media. Interestingly, "Antologia" was performed simultaneously on another Latin American stage, as Shakira was in concert that same night in Asuncion, Paraguay. This tribute has been seen as one of the most genuine gestures from an international star towards Latin music, reaffirming Shakira's relevance and legacy in world music culture.
