Shakira at the Autodrome

So finally the fever has hit Dubai and you too can shake your booty with Shakira at the Autodrome.
Though Shakira has been very restrictive about the details of this tour right from its conception; she has promised the world that she will throw in all of her physical energy and creativity behind it. The blonde sensation says this is the most important tour of her life.
And as all best things in life do take a toll on us, so did this tour for Shakira when she was taken ill in February with bronchitis and had to cancel the concerts in Netherlands and Germany only to reschedule them for March.
But no such delays are on the cards in Dubai where the concert is expected to open to a record breaking 25,000 people, making this the largest ever contemporary music concert in the Middle East. After Dubai Shakira hits Mumbai and Cairo, so if some of you don’t get enough tonight there is more booty-bashing to follow in neighbouring cities.
Coming back to Dubai, there are number of funfair activities to keep the crowds all charged up until the hip shaking begins at the Autodrome. The tour promotes Shakira’s Oral Fixation Volume 2 album but the audience can expect to hear a selection of her new songs and many of her greatest hits including Whenever-Wherever, La Tortura, Underneath Your Clothes, Don’t Bother, Objection, Hips Don’t Lie and many groovy tunes.
After a refreshing performance at the 2007 Grammy Awards, Shakira too is excited about her Dubai concert as many of her fans here, the Latino diva had this to say, “I have heard a lot about Dubai and performing in the Middle East for the first time will be something special. The Dubai show will be one of the biggest shows on my 2007 “Oral Fixation Tour”.
And if it is the anticipation of a traffic jam or an overcrowded car park that is bothering you –then fret no further there are shuttle bus services running from Mercato, Ibn Battuta and the Irish Village, to the Dubai Autodrome। Other than the rocking music that the show promises, Shakira is also well-known for her dancing. The moves are based on the age old art of belly dancing (which many girls here are also familiar with) and which is part of Shakira’s Lebanese heritage and she learned as a young teen (as did many of us) to overcome her shyness. So girls maybe you can challenge Shakira to some sensational hip shaking —there is really no reason to stay home tonight! Source
