Without a doubt, she is one of the best Latin American singers to date. In 2023, Shakira ruled the breakup diss track scene. It does seem like she has become much stronger after her breakup with Pique. Recently, the singer answered a few questions about her favorite Colombian etiquettes. She revealed that she loves the way her community greets everyone.

She said, “What I love is how we Colombians greet each other. We greet: ‘Aha, what was there? how are you doing? how are you? and what accounts? What are you up to? What do you say?’ The longest greeting in the world”, as per Cromos and translated by Google Translate. However, it did not end there. She continued, “Another one I love is: aha, so what? Aha?”.
