She returned to her hometown of Barranquilla, where she was welcomed on Thursday by tens of thousands of fans at the Metropolitano stadium.
With more than 90 million records sold worldwide, Shakira is one of the most popular Latin artists of all time.
She has back-to-back concerts scheduled in Bogota on Wednesday and Thursday, according to her website.
