Shakira wants to do Arabic album

Columbian singer Shakira loves challenges. After trying out African language with the FIFA World Cup song “Waka Waka", the “Hips Don't Lie" singer has expressed her desire to record an album in Arabic.

“It would be a challenge to do an album in Arabic, but I would first have to learn Arabic. I am completely open to that experience - at some point I would love that to happen in my life," Contactmusic quoted the singer as saying.

Shakira seems to be inspired by her first concert in Arabic speaking Morocco a couple of days ago, closing the Mawazine World Rhythms Festival. She had earlier recorded albums in her native Spanish and English.
