Biography


Shakira with Wyclef jean sings “Hips Don’t Lie”  “Hips Don’t Lie” is a Grammy Award-nominated Latin pop song performed by Colombia singer Shakira and Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean.  The song samples both Jean’s 2004 song “Dance Like This” and takes much of the instrumentation from Jerry Rivera’s “Amor Como el Nuestro”. Shakira co-wrote everything but the chorus and produced the song.  The song was released as the second single from Shakira’s second English album Oral Fixation Vol. 2 in 2006. “Hips Don’t Lie” became a global success, topping the charts in many countries.  It became Shakira and Wyclef’s first (and to date, only) number-one single in the U.S… The song became one of the world’s best-selling singles of all time. In the UK, this was Wyclef’s third number-one hit (after The Fugees’ “Killing Me Softly” and “Ready Or Not”) and Shakira’s first. In many other European countries, it became Shakira’s second number one, (following the massive success of “Whenever, Wherever”).  It also became Shakira and Wyclef’s most successful single ever, selling nearly 10 million copies worldwide.
