Interesting video about Shakira. I did not know she knew so many languages!

That was kind of funny, how people viewed Shakira as a traitor to Spain, when singing in Catalan, because she is not from Spain at all, but from Colombia.
It makes no sense. Imagine calling someone from England sing French in Quebec, and English speakers in Canada call the person from England a traitor to Canada.
