Shakira proud to be Colombian

The woman from Barranquilla, who has been criticized by many for deciding to live somewhere other than Colombia, made it clear in an interview that above all she lives proud of her country.

Although it’s been years Shakira lives in Barcelona with his partner, the footballer Gerard Piquéand his sons Milan (3) and Sasha (11 months), is still very present in his “little heart” his native Colombia and especially Barranquilla, the city where he was born and raised.

That’s the reason why he couldn’t help but get emotional when reading an article written by his father, William Mebarakin the newspaper The Herald remembering the customs of his land that he misses the most.

Because both Milan and Sasha were born in Barcelona, ​​one of Shakira’s biggest concerns is that they will both end up forgetting their roots, despite the fact that she has made sure that they both have Colombian passports.

“I will be a Barranquillera until death, but Barcelona is a city that has given me a lot from day one. And my two children are Catalan, although they also have a Colombian passport. I always tell Milan: ‘You are half Catalan, half Barranquilla. May you never forget!’”Shakira reveals in an interview with The Newspaper of Catalonia.
