Shakira made history over the weekend when she played to over 400,000 people in Mexico City’s Zócalo – it was the largest gig ever to take place in the historic square.
The Zócalo is at the heart of the Latin American mega-city and tends to be a space reserved for national celebrations and political acts. Only a handful of A-list artists have played there down the years – people like Paul McCartney and Justin Beiber. Shakira has actually performed there before – back in 2007 – but her appearance back then drew merely an estimated 210,000.
