Miami, FL. (February 2, 2022) – Carlos Vives, the international superstar, actor, businessman, and one of the biggest influences in Latin music, pays tribute to Shakira with his new musical release called “Currambera”.
In the song and video, Vives tells the life story of global icon Shakira through different scenes, connecting them with her musical career and at the same time, talking about the characteristics of women from Barranquilla.
“She is the result of a culture, or better yet, the combination of many cultures in this magical place called “Curramba”, expressed Carlos Vives about what Shakira represents for the culture in Barranquilla, Colombia.

The video was directed by Sergio Rodríguez for Mestiza Films. It was recorded in different locations in the area called “Arenosa” such as the Regional Port Society of Barranquilla, a place chosen to show the greatness of the port and the surroundings of the Magdalena River. The traditional Barrio Abajo and La Enseñanza school, where Shakira attended high school, were also shown.
The audiovisual production involves, in addition to the music, the producer duo KogiMan. It also includes several important elements of their culture such as the Torito, a characteristic symbol of the Barranquilla Carnival, the largest party in Colombia, an ancient Phoenician ship, and of course the beauty of the Cumbiambera women represented by the current Carnival queen Valeria Charris Salcedo (2022) and previous titleholders such as Giselle Lacouture (2010), Daniella Donado (2007), Marcela García Caballero (2016), Valeria Abuchaibe (2018) and Isabella Chams Vega (2020). Similarly, it had the participation of William Mebarak, Shakira’s father, and one of her best friends, Kathy Kopp.
