Grammy-winning Colombian singer Shakira, one of the world’s top-selling musicians, has been immortalized in her famous belly-dancing pose in a giant bronze statue in her home city of Barranquilla.The city’s Mayor, Jaime Pumarejo, unveiled the 21-foot sculpture in a park along the banks of the Magdalena River on Tuesday in the company of the singer’s parents.The statue by artist Yino Marquez “shows millions of girls that they can, that they can pursue their dreams and any of them can achieve what they want,” said Pumarejo, noting that he used to see Shakira sing at local children’s concerts.The sculpture shows the long, curly-haired singer belly dancing with her arms overhead in a sheer skirt with shiny aluminum decoration.A plaque praises the singer, who won three 2023 Latin Grammy Awards and cites her charity “Pies descalzos,” Spanish for “bare feet,” for early childhood development.“A heart that composes, hips that do not lie, an unmatched talent, a voice that moves masses and feet that march for the good of children and humanity,” it reads.Shakira, who lives in Miami, said in a statement from the mayor’s office that she was honored by the statue and that Barranquilla will always be her home.

‘Un Varón’ (‘A Male’) Review: A Young Boy Aches to Avoid Becoming a Hardened Man in Colombian Christmas Tale

And so, while Fabián Hernández’s central concerns in his simply-titled film, “A Man” (“Un Varón”), are all too familiar, his tale of a young man living in a shelter in the center of Bogotá who cannot escape the violence of the world of the streets around him, emerges nonetheless as a powerful portrait of the country’s inescapable machismo.
