Shakira’s new single “Copa Vacia” featuring Manuel Turizo is finally here and the video is gorgeous.
By portraying the mermaid and putting it in a music video, she made the fantasy of a mermaid tangible; something you can see, touch, and feel.
The mermaid represents a fantasy for Shakira, because she is on “the journey to becoming one with herself again.”

In the second voice message on her IG Broacast channel Shakira says that the mermaid “sacrifices a lot for love, ending up in the trash amongst rats. Thankfully she finds herself in her natural habitat.” After, she sarcastically joked, “Any resemblance to reality is pure coincidence.”
Shakira is also a lover of the ocean, and loved the water in Colombia. Since moving to Miami, she has spent countless hours surfing, and wakeboarding in the sun with her children, Sasha, and Milan. “Lately I’ve been in the water so much I feel like I’m growing scales” she joked on the broadcast.
The irresistible track comes with a visually stunning music video co-directed by Shakira and Jaume de la Iguana. Check out the video below.
