Shakira performs free concert at Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro

On Saturday night, singer Shakira performed a free concert at Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro as part of her 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' world tour. Local officials estimated the attendance at approximately two million spectators. The event, part of the 'Todo Mundo no Rio' festival, was funded by the municipality with the goal of boosting the local economy by an estimated 800 million Brazilian reais. The performance began after 23:00 local time, following a delay of over one hour. The show featured drone displays and a setlist including hits such as 'Hips Don't Lie' and 'BZRP Music Sessions #53'. During the concert, Shakira discussed the importance of female resilience and reflected on her first visit to Brazil three decades ago. The event follows previous large-scale concerts by artists like Madonna and Lady Gaga at the same location. Official estimates of the economic impact range between 140 and 150 million euros.
