Shakira to Go Live?

Shakira to Go Live?

Just like Madonna and The Jonas Brothers before her, Shakira may be in line as the next hot recording artist to sign a multi-million dollar deal with concert promoter Live Nation. These new “360-degree deals”, are Live Nation’s new to the recording business idea, where everything from touring to merchandising to recording, are all supported by the same company. Shakira is currently signed to Epic Records, and owes them two more albums under that deal, but she could get them out by the end of the year and be ready to enter into a new deal with Live Nation by 2009.  How will this change the recording industry?

Shakira asks Brazil Prez to back kids projects

Colombian singer Shakira met Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff to seek support for a social work organisation started by her and other artistes from Spain and Latin America.“It was a very positive meeting” and the president was “very enthusiastic” about the work of the Alas Foundation, Shakira said. The singer is one of the sponsors of the organisation – whose name “alas” means “wings” in Spanish. The foundation focuses on projects benefiting children under six. “It’s a blessing, for the first time (for Brazil) to have a female president, since there’s nobody like a woman to understand the problems of childhood,” Shakira said. The singer gave Rousseff an autographed guitar for having it auctioned to finance social projects. Shakira’s Brazilian leg of her Pop Music Festival tour will conclude in Sao Paulo, where she is scheduled to perform before a crowd of about 70,000.
