Shakira, Beele evoke Barranquilla on new track

Shakira and Colombian singer Beele released their latest track, Algo Tu after debuting the song live over a week ago at Mexico City’s Zocalo for over 400,000 fans.

Their range of styles blending perfectly on the track, Shakira and Beele deliver an incredible Latin and Afro-fusion hit with a nod to autochthonous instruments and sounds such as the Colombian gaita (pan flute), evoking the city of Barranquilla where both Shakira and Beele were born.

Considered the largest event held in Mexico City, the recent concert and Algo Tu built more excitement for Shakira’s upcoming return to Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, where she will take the stage for this year’s Todo Mundo No Rio concert on May 2.

The free show will feature Shakira playing her greatest hits across her entire career, continuing her world tour through 2026.

Collaborative return

The single is the second collaboration between Shakira and Beele. The duo previously worked together on a 2025 version of her global hit, Hips Don’t Lie, which featured Ed Sheeran and Beele for the Spotify Anniversary celebration of her 2005 album Oral Fixation, Vol. 2.

Shakira’s Algo Tu comes on the heels of the Colombian songstress being crowned by Billboard as having the “highest-grossing Hispanic tour of all time” with her recent Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, achieving a gross revenue of US$421.6 million (RM1.6 billion), inclusive of 82 stadium shows all across the US and Latin America with over 3.3 million people in attendance.
