SHAKIRA CRITICIZED FOR HER CONCERT ABU DHABI

Shakira gave a great concert in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on New Year’s Eve amid critics to call off the show. According to reports, the Colombian singer was asked to cancel the gig because of the death of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The show marked Shakira’s third performance in the region and was a hug success."I'm the fruit of an Arab land, and I'm immensely proud of my Arab heritage,” she told her fans."I just wanted you to know that and also that I can't think of a better place to spend New Year's Eve," she added. Shakira’s new album is expected to come out someday this year.
