Pop star Shakira arrives in India for first-ever concert
Colombian singer Shakira performs during her concert in Mumbai, India, Sunday, March 25, 2007.
Latin American multiple Grammy award singer Shakira arrived in Mumbai Saturday for her first hip-shaking Indian performance.
Shakira, who is on a world tour for her "Oral Fixation Vol. 2" album, performed some of her biggest hits including "Hips don't lie", "Don't bother" and "Illegal" at the concert Sunday night.
"I love India and its people. I have a lot of fans in India and love the culture and food," Shakira told reporters adding she was looking forward to her concert.
Best known for sensual belly dancing and her powerful voice, Shakira stayed in the presidential suite at a five-star hotel in Mumbai, media reports said.
The pop star will be pampered with her favourite exotic fruits -- papayas from Hawaii, peaches and prunes from Dubai and Australian berries, Mumbai's Mirror newspaper reported.
In the run-up to Shakira's arrival, local newspapers have carried many articles detailing how to learn the singer's dance moves.
Shakira, who won Grammy awards in 2001 and 2003, dominated the Latin Grammy awards last year, winning four trophies, including album of the year for "Fijacion Oral Vol. 1".
拉丁小天后、多项格莱美奖获得者夏奇拉于上周六抵达印度孟买，并首次在此举办了她的“抖胯”演唱会。
正在进行专辑《魅惑约定2》世界巡演的夏奇拉在上周日的演唱会上演唱了《屁股不说谎》、《别打扰》和《非法》等她的几首著名单曲。
夏奇拉在接受记者采访时说："我爱印度和这里的人们。我在印度有很多歌迷，我也很喜欢印度的文化和饮食。"此外，她表示自己很期待这场演唱会。
据报道，以性感的肚皮舞和颇具感染力的声音而著名的夏奇拉在孟买的一家五星级酒店的总统套房下榻。
据孟买《镜报》报道，这位流行天后将大啖其最喜爱的热带水果，其中包括夏威夷的木瓜、迪拜的桃子和李子以及澳洲浆果。
在夏奇拉抵达印度前夕，当地报纸刊载了很多详细介绍如何学她跳舞动作的文章。
夏奇拉分别于2001年和2003年获格莱美大奖，并于去年获四项拉丁格莱美大奖，成为此届拉丁格莱美奖的最大赢家，其中《魅惑约定1》获年度最佳专辑奖。
