Shakira Closes Historic Madrid Residency With Maluma, Bizarrap & More: ‘Someone Pinch Me’

Shakira wanted to end her European residency in Madrid on a high note, and for her 13th concert, she surrounded herself with great friends.

Maluma, Laura Pausini, Beéle, Dani Martín and Bizarrap joined her for one last night, which also featured dancers from the Carnival of Barranquilla, a drone display and a visibly emotional Shakira bidding farewell.

“There has been a before and after for me.

It’s all felt like a dream, and honestly, I don’t want to leave,” the Colombian superstar told the audience.

“It’s going to be very, very hard to leave Spain again.” Related All the Guests at Shakira’s Madrid Residency (Updating) Shakira’s Madrid Concert Sets an Amazon Music Livestreaming Record Inside Macondo Park, The City Created for Shakira’s Residency in Madrid Announced a week earlier as “The Last Dance,” Monday’s concert (Oct.

9-12.

The finale also coincided with Spain’s National Day (Día de la Hispanidad), with Latin culture strongly present throughout the celebration.

“I’ve prepared so many, many surprises for you tonight,” Shakira teased shortly after starting the show.

“Tonight, I’m not holding anything back.

I’m going to give you everything, everything, everything I have, because there’s nothing like when a she-wolf meets her pack.” The first surprise came with Maluma, who returned for the second night in a row to perform “Chantaje” and “Agua” alongside Shakira.

“We’ve already done four songs together; we should form a group called Shaluma,” joked Shakira to her compatriot, who replied that he was ready to create many more songs with her.

Later, Shakira paused the show for several minutes to thank the audience and everyone who made possible what she described as one of “the most important” projects of her career.

“This residency has been historic for me,” she said, adding that during these weeks, she had also gone through difficult moments, including her father’s health issues and other personal challenges.
