Shakira and J-Lo performed at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and today I'm going to give you an analysis from my perspective as a Hispanic.
Overall, I think that that performance was amazing and really powerful actually, and when I look at three elements that are very important in this performance. The powerful message on behalf of Latinos, a platform for Hispanic music, and also that Shakira and J-Lo still got it. And if you stay until the end, I will explain what it was called by the NFL "one of the greatest moments in Super Bowl history."
First, the performance in very subtle and not subtle ways gave millions of Americans a powerful statement on behalf of Latinos. In fact, one of the most powerful and talked about moments of the performance was when J-Lo's daughter Emme sang "Let's Get Loud." She, along with an older group of girls, was performing in cages, clearly reference in the US border crisis where refugees have been separated from their families and kids have been put in cages. Although people didn't catch it there, but then the social networks clearly pointed out that this was a message of family separation.
After that moment, Emme doesn't stop here. She started singing "Born in the USA" as her mother. J-Lo opens a big Puerto Rican flag, reminding everybody and making their statement for millions of Americans that Puerto Ricans are part of the United States. It is important to point out that almost half of Americans don't know that Puerto Rico is indeed part of the United States and that the people living in Puerto Rico are citizens of this country.
The performance was also a great platform for Latino music in general. Two Latino stars that have made great strides in the United States. The Colombian J Balvin and the Puerto Rican Bad Bunny made important appearances. Shakira in particular showed the evolution of her music. From her origins in rock and roll to Spanish songs that are only made in Latin America to her top English hits. She performed all of these medley of Shakira music. Even though most of the songs were performed to the rhythm of reggaeton or pop, there was also a homage to salsa. Both J-Lo and Shakira performed some of their songs to the rhythm of salsa and then they had dancers with them doing a fast competitive version of this Latin American dance.
And finally what everybody's talking about, Jennifer Lopez is 50 years old and Shakira is 43, and in this performance they clearly showed that they still have it. We still have a lot of years of performances of both Shakira and J-Lo and I know great things are here to come. They perform like they were 20 years old and not only that, they also looked really great. The NFL retweeted this moment as "the greatest moment in NFL history." Let's look.
Now you may think that this is something crazy that Shakira just did out of the blue, but this is actually Shakira giving that homage to her Lebanese origin. This is what it's called zaghrouta, and it's something that women do doing celebrations in Arab countries. I personally have been lucky enough to see some of Arab weddings here in Michigan. And I may heard that zaghrouta over and over during the celebration.
There was also a lot of debate where the performance was an objectification of women or was sexually empowering. I personally think that Shakira and J-Lo showed a lot of messages of empowerment for women who are stopping from being themselves. Great pop artists who embrace their sexuality and their dancing and acrobatic abilities.
