Ok so no one saw the two actually drinking Colombiana with beer. I was drinking refajo as the President of Colombia and Shakira celebrated Colombian independence and called for an end to the cycle of violence in their country.

Shakira and Uribe are joined by Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva and Peruvian President Alan Garcia. Eleven of the hostages that were rescued together with Ingrid Betancourt were also present in Leticia.

The Colombian pop idol called on guerrillas, who still are involved in a war against the government to demobilize and work with the government towards peace.

Later she performed together with fellow Colombian singer Carlos Vives. Hundreds of thousands of people were visiting the border concert.
