More about this title
About the Artist: Shakira
Shakira is a Colombian singer, songwriter, and performer whose global influence spans multiple decades and genres. Known for her distinctive vocal style and genre-blending approach, she has shaped popular music across Latin, pop, and dance traditions, making her work accessible and engaging for audiences worldwide.
Why we love this
Matt Conaway's arrangement captures the infectious energy of Shakira's original while keeping the technical demands appropriate for Grade 2 bands. The Latin percussion foundation gives young ensembles a chance to feel authentic groove playing, and the flexible percussion writing means you can expand the section without compromising the arrangement's integrity.
What to expect
Bright and buoyant, with a steady tropical pulse that makes you want to move. The arrangement sparkles with rhythmic energy while keeping the melody accessible and memorable, creating a feel-good moment that lands equally well in spring concerts or casual performance settings.
Who it's for
Young concert bands looking for contemporary, film-based repertoire that connects with students while building foundational ensemble skills. Grade 2 groups seeking material with authentic Latin and pop elements without excessive technical complexity.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the Latin groove steady and relaxed rather than pushing the tempo. A confident conductor pulse on the dance beat helps the rhythm section lock in immediately.
- Balance the melodic line against the percussion. The groove is the heartbeat, but the main melody needs to sing through with character and clarity.
- Encourage the woodwinds to match the rhythmic snap of the original recording. Clean articulation on syncopated figures brings the pop sensibility to life.
- Use the recorded accompaniment for sectional rehearsals, especially with rhythm section and percussion to internalize the groove before combining all parts.
How to use it
Program this mid-concert to shift the mood after heavier classical pieces, or place it alongside other film and pop arrangements for a contemporary suite. Its uplifting character makes it an excellent closer for youth band concerts or a standalone piece for outreach performances.
