Watch Shakira’s Intimate Performance of ‘Antología’ on ‘Fallon’

Shakira appeared on The Tonight Show to showcase her song “Antología,” offering an emotive performance in the midst of the late-night show audience. The Colombian musician revisited the 1996 song in an intimate, sing-along style, accompanied by her live band.

“Antología” appeared on Shakira’s breakthrough album Pies Descalzos. The stripped down performance marks her second time reimagining an older song on The Tonight Show. Earlier this month, she and Wyclef Jean offered a lively rendition of her hit “Hips Don’t Lie.”

Shakira reflected on the longtime success of “Hips Don’t Lie” during an interview with host Jimmy Fallon, noting that the single “changed my story.” “Since that song came about people called me Shakira twice,” she said. “Some people have used lie detectors on me.”

Ths singer launched her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour in Brazil in February, and kicked off the North American leg of the tour on May 13 at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. She will also perform in Washington, D.C., on May 26 as the headliner of WorldPride DC.

She recently told Rolling Stone of the record-breaking tour, “I learned that this is more than a show, this is a communion, an encounter with my most-loyal fans and also my newest fans. It’s really a moment of total identification.… I didn’t want to save any effort, I didn’t want to save any resources to take the best show possible to Latin America, because I feel and I really truly believe that my people deserve the best.”

She said that playing “Antología” always gets her choked up on stage. “It’s the testament to this relationship that I have with with my audience,” she noted.

The singer added of her goal with the tour, “This has always been my mandate since I started my career: I wanted to show the world what Colombians, what Latinos are about. I wanted you to fight so much prejudice that we’ve had to encounter throughout the years, and this moment together is a celebration of who we are, how far we’ve come. I want the show to be representative of who we are as a community, especially during these hard times.”
