Mexico City- Some 210,000 people gathered on Mexico City's central Zocalo square late Sunday for a free concert by Colombian star Shakira.
The square, which according to official estimates fits about 100,000 people, was full for the duration of the concert, and the adjoining streets were also full of fans.
Hundreds of followers of Shakira had camped in the areas near the Zocalo the previous night, while the square itself was closed off, in an effort to get a good place.
The concert was one of the last in Shakira's current world tour, Oral Fixation. The tour is set to end Wednesday in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey.
"This has been a month of absolute joy. I have fed off you, and I leave with my heart full," Shakira told the crowd.
The Colombian singer of Hips Don't Lie and other hits claims she has a long-standing "love story" with Mexico. |
