SHAKIRA CONSIDERS ARABIC ALBUM
Pop star Shakira is considering making an album in the Arabic language. She confessed to a crowd of mostly Moroccan journalists at the 10th-annual Mawazine festival of world music that right now she only knows a few words of Arabic, namely “ateeni boosa” or give me a kiss, but she is totally open to the experience of learning the language.
Spanish is her first language but she also has global hits in English. “Beautiful Liar” (a duet with Beyonce) was nominated for “Video of the Year” at the 2007 BET Awards. And “Hips Don’t Lie” featuring Grammy award winner Wyclef Jean has also been a chart topper.
The sultry songstress is known for using Eastern dance, or belly dancing, in her performances. And her current hit single “Ojos Asi” (in Spanish) has a heavy Middle Eastern melody.
