The statue, depicting her in a bikini top and flowing skirt while shaking her hips like she did in her iconic 2005 music video for Hips Don’t Lie, is situated by the water in Barranquilla, where she was born and raised.
A dedication on the statue reads: ‘A heart that composes, hips that do not lie, an unmatched talent, a voice that moves masses and feet that march for the good of children and humanity.’
It’s been a tough year for the singer and songwriter but with all these difficulties, Colombia decided to honor her with this monument.
