Shakira started her UK tour in Manchester Tuesday 14th December. I was there to photograph it South American sexy singer looked happy gyrating her hips to avrious latin pop dance numbers. Including her big hit "Whenever wherever", backed by musicians from her home land her set was a mixture of folk/latin America and pop with acoustic instruments,skin drums and harmonica! A cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters was performed in latino style at the end of the catwalk within touching distance of her fans.Her unique singing voice suits these ballad moments of which there were a few. But her finesse is her dancing, all hips and belly,twisting to the beats.
A couple of live shots are included below, more will be added to the music photography galleries.
