Colombian singer Shakira has been honoured with a statue in her home country. The Grammy winner, 46, shared that a bronze statue depiction was created and placed in her hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia, reported People.
Artist Yino Marques created the statue that shows the singer’s notorious ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ dance move from her 2005 music video. Shakira took to her Instagram handle and posted a photo carousel that included images of her family posing at the new landmark’s site. The singer’s caption outlined what each photo was capturing. She noted in the caption for the first photo — which shows her parents, William Mebarak Chadid and Nidia Ripoll Torrado — that it was her mother’s birthday.
The singer’s parents are shown in the picture standing next to the 21-foot-tall statue. “It makes me happy to share this with my parents and especially my mother on her birthday,” Shakira wrote in the caption. The singer then posted a photo of her parents and brothers with Barranquilla’s mayor, as well as a solitary shot of the statue and its dedication.
