A little while back Jen wrote about Colombian singer and hip shaker Shakira being called out by Rican salsero Jerry Rivera for using a trumpet rif from his song Amores Como lo Nuestro in her hit song Hips Don’t Lie without his permission. Many of you wrote in defending Shakira and Jerry Rivera, some even saying that the trumpets had been used in other songs. Well someone forgot to send the memo to Jerry because in today’s El Diaro/LA Prensa Jerry is quoted as saying from Peru:
Si Shakira dice que antes había sido utilizado por otro artista, pues que lo demuestre, porque yo no lo sabía. ¡Quiero escucharlo!
So who is gonna send Jerry the MP3?

Shakira’s no show + plagiarism problem

Telefutura’s Escándalo TV reported today about Shakira’s unexpected no-show at the ceremony for Spain’s Academy of Music Arts and Science awards. They showed a video of a Shakira herself saying something like “I’m really sorry I couldn’t be in Spain, but we’ve had to cancel some dates” et al. Cut to a reporter asking a Sony Music rep at the awards why Shakira wasn’t there and he answered that she had cancelled at the last minute because she was sick.
She sure didn’t look too sick in the video. And who records a video if they are sick? It’s like calling in sick but sending your boss a picture of your healthy face.
Escándalo TV speculated that the real reason that Shakira didn’t show in Spain is because she wanted to avoid being asked about accusations of plagiarism that are currently being thrown at her by other musicians.
