Shakira and Maluma Talk Colombian Roots, ‘Absolute Chemistry’ & More | Billboard

Shakira and Maluma photographed April 2 at Torre Bellesguard Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona, Spain. Shakira was styled by Marjan Malakpour, and wears an RtA T-shirt and pants, BeauSouci vest, Saint Laurent boots, Elena Estaun cuff and Lillian Shalom ring. Maluma was styled by Julian Rios, and wears a Dolce & Gabbana shirt, pants and necklace, and a Maluma Collection tag necklace and bracelets.

Two years ago, when Shakira was looking for songs for her 2017 Spanish-language album, El Dorado, Sony Music Latin chief Afo Verde had a suggestion: How about going into the studio for a writing session with a fellow Colombian, the red-hot up-and-comer Maluma? Shakira, 41, Latin music’s most bankable and best-known female star, was open to the idea. She had paired up with newcomers many times before, and while Maluma had yet to land a No. 1 single on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, his Instagram and YouTube accounts were exploding, and she was intrigued by his sinuous 2015 pop-reggaetón hit, “Borro Casette.”
