“I was only 19 when I moved to the US, like many other Colombian immigrants who come to this country looking for a better future,” she said, adding that she relied on poetry and written works from Leonard Cohen, Walt Whitman and Bob Dylan to learn English and help “understand how the English language works within songwriting.”

However, this year has also been notably challenging for the Latin community amid Trump’s return to the White House, as his administration prioritizes cracking down on alleged immigration violations. Most recently, there have been ongoing protests in Los Angeles against unlawful immigration ICE raids across the county.

“It means living in constant fear,” Shakira said of living in the U.S. today. “And it’s painful to see.”
