Review

“La bicicleta” is a song by the two Colombian singer and composer Shakira and Carlos Vives. The song was launched in 2016 and by 2018 the musical video on YouTube reached more than 1100 million views, and 380,000,000 streams on Spotify. The collaboration was well received by people who were expecting a collaboration between these two great artists. The song won numerous Grammys in 2016 as the best Latin Song of the Year.

The video clips were recorded in Barranquilla and Santa Marta, both are localities in Colombia, the video clips show us beautiful scenarios from that country alongside a few of their traditions. Now, the video tells us the story of Carlos Vives and Shakira who get reunited and start to have a good time in their country, traveling on a bike and dancing on the streets with friends and people, it is nice and catchy song full of good vibes and joy.

“La Bicicleta” isn’t a particularly difficult song, if we have to rate it, we will give it 4 points of difficulty, because the voice of Shakira or Carlos Vives could result being a little fast or confusing, lyrics, in general, aren’t difficult, but you will encounter few words that you surely won’t understand, but don’t worry, all of them are explained above. Besides that, the song will be a nice practice for your Spanish level and also you will learn a couple of words that normally aren’t in the translations or Spanish books since they are a colloquial expression from Latin-American.

If you liked “La Bicicleta” by Shakira and Carlos Vives, we encourage you to visit their social media if you want to listen to other of their song. We can recommend you “Día de Enero” another wonderful and classic song by Shakira.
