Shakira to dance for DLF's KP Singh?

Mumbai: It's raining stars in the Capital it seems. After Lady Gaga and Formula One drivers, Latino beauty Shakira will be the latest Hollywood celebrity to visit Delhi.

According to sources, the Colombian singer, who became a household name post her 2010 FIFA World Cup official theme song Waka Waka, will perform at a private function at DLF Golf Course in Gurgaon next week.

A source said, "She will perform as part of the week-long gala to celebrate the birthday of KP Singh, Chairman, DLF Group. Shakira will be here on November 14. The celebrations will kick-off in Jaipur with a performance by Adnan Sami. Singh will also release a book written by him at DLF Promenade Mall."

The Latin-American sensation, who began writing songs at the age of eight and learnt English by studying the works of the likes of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Walt Whitman, has sold over 60 million albums so far.

Apart from writing songs, she has also collaborated with artistes such as Beyonce and Alejandro Sanz. Shakira's performance was the highlight of the 2009 concert that celebrated US President Barack Obama's inauguration.

Shakira's Waka Waka sold over two million singles and became the most popular World Cup song so far. The official video received more than 200 million hits on YouTube, thus becoming the fourth-most watched video of all times.

Her debut album, Magia, was released when she was only 13. Laundry Service (that featured the popular tracks Whenever Wherever and Underneath Your Clothes) was her first album in English.

The singer is also known for her philanthropic work and has set up the Pies Descalzos (Barefoot) Foundation, which provides education and food to over 6,000 poor children in Colombia, Haiti and South Africa. "Every child has a talent to be developed and the potential to become a productive member of society," Shakira had said.
