As you come face to face with Shakira it is very difficult to stand still. Head fills you with Waka Waka, Whenever, Wherever, Addicted to you and Intuition, all at once, and you give dance. You have to remind yourself: slowly, slowly. But while time is short, the singer is media promotion and presence in the hotel room where you receive an assistant with a stopwatch as a guideline for the interview does not exactly calm. Miss the first few seconds-a form of perderlos- nice looking into her eyes, brown eyes sparkling bright, cheerful and intelligent with light coming through the window. So the way I avoided his legs to elucidate pure-for professionally pundonor if wearing a very short skirt or hot pants. And then I go back to lose another precious moments telling him I brought a small gift for his birthday (on the 2nd, and her husband Pique-for him nothing-I did not bring) and handing a small package. She responds lunging overjoyed as a child, and that they must have had many gifts. Opens in a hurry and laughs sincerely pleased at the small figurine of a gazelle plastic. pop the animal world a gazelle, Gazelle, hugely popular star, is, of course, the character Shakira (Barranquilla, 1977) puts the voice, details of the physical and distinctive style in the new production of Disney Zootrópolis a divertidísma film whose theme, try anything, try everything, a bombshell, interprets it.
Question. How about becoming a gazelle?
Answer. It’s great, although my son Milan do not understand much, it’s hard to explain that your mother is a lively three year old drawing.
P. Do you especially like gazelles ?, thought more mongooses.
R. I did not choose. Disney called me and offered me the project, I went to Los Angeles, I was shown a picture of Gazelle and really liked it. I did not think twice. They taught me all the details. It’s a story with a very original plot, clever dialogue, a lot of humor and suspense.
P. Fond out bugs, the mafia shrew emulates Brando in The Godfather, the Cheetah donuts and especially the lazy servant.
R. The sluggard is adorable, right?
P. Would not you have preferred to be another type of animal? I do not know, a feline
R. You see me well? (Pause, the singer smiles and lets you watch, the second run) The truth is that I do too. But Gazelle is a gazelle.
P. And music star, though.
R. I felt I have things in common. Many itemize are mine, eye color, eyelashes, hair. Even clothing. The skirt is mine. I found missing hips … and asked them to put more. And they did! It was a super fun and different process to everything I had experienced before. I had been offered similar projects and had never accepted. But as soon as I met Gazelle … The production team was also very friendly and very human. I think it’s a film full of sensitivity and talent.
P. Do you was a fan of Disney girl?
R. Like all children, I saw the classic films, and at age 8 first went to Disneyland. I’ll tell you the truth has always pursued within me a girl who enjoys the Disney films, also new.
P. Why, and what is your favorite character, Bambi, Dumbo, Cinderella …?
R. Bell.
P. Fairy Peter Pan. Here we call Bell.
R. Ah, I really like. And Bolt, the dog star.
P. With two young children you will have entered into the category of recurrent user of Disney productions.
R. Haha, sure. And it’s magical to share that world at the moment, my oldest son. Sasha is still very small. In fact I took him to Milan preview of Zootrópolis 17 amiguitos class.
P. It is a very nice film, without the terrors and tiresome moralizing other Disney productions.
R. It is a spectacular film. And a universal story of overcoming with which you can feel very identified. That bunny, Judy Hopps, who wants to fulfill his dreams that seem impossible, illogical … I have had times in my life Judy. Everyone has a little bunny inside who dreams great things.
P. ¿?
R. Imagine, I smallish in Barranquilla, dreaming big stage and be a star of the music, while singing teacher said my voice was dissonant and limited me to move her lips without singing in the choir …
P. I hear you ask what is the secret to dance well. Well, actually, I confess, they have not told me, is my business.
R. The secret to dance well to want to do.
P. Then go. Just because you dance so well?
R. I will not deny that the environment helps. Being born on the Caribbean is crucial for me. There is a very vital way of living music. In Barranquilla we have to know dance. But you do not survive. It is a culture which as you know has its origin, its roots in Africa.
P. Whence comes this contagious vitality that manifests itself in your songs?
R. Live music and somehow the music lives in me. This last time I’ve been more stop, for my children, and I’ve come to a time of creative license I have become aware of how strange singing and seeing people dance with me. It may seem trivial, banal, but it is essential for me. I’m made of that and that. Every fiber of me. If you do not sing and dance choking me. And now, in March, I get up again. Start writing new songs.
P. What is your life here in Barcelona, away from the colors and heat of his land?
R. I’m happy. I have a man who makes me happy. And a family, which is what I most wanted in life. Barcelona is a great city and a great country Spain. And Europe … is different from my background but I also like. It is true that I love my children to know what is going barefoot in the street and do little friends playing there, as I did. But I know they will not be able. For many reasons.
P. You’re pretty universally appreciated, but lives with a figure, her husband, who instead created considerable controversy.
R. Gerard is a man with great charisma and raises many passions, starting with me. He lives without fear, is a happy and playful, essentially type. There are people who bothered his attitude, but he’s playing. It has no misconduct. It is a very authentic and very funny man.
P. Judy Zootrópolis the bunny has to face the wrath of their fellow big men in the police, rhino, buffalo, and large carnivores. You yourself had to see signs like the Espanyol in the match against FC Barcelona “Shakira is all.” What do you think of this issue that poisons our society is gender violence?
R. Is something that we have to commit all that is mainly solved by educating people.
The assistant, who has left to run some extra time off, signaling the end of the interview. Shakira gets up from his chair and says goodbye with two kisses and a big smile. I force myself to look at her legs: they are shorts. Returning to look up, the singer still smiling and facial hair with the same gesture of Gazelle, Springbok departs. It is impossible not to imagine the two merging into one large star that makes dancing so feverish everyone. Oh, oh, oh, oh, Try Everything.
