Shakira's grandparents are Lebanese and Shakira means grateful" in Arabic. After living in the Middle East for ten years, I loved her doing this! Joyful and fabulous!

I knew immediately what she was doing and its significance. I wish people would read and travel more. It would broaden their views and make them more accepting of other cultures and traditions. I love Shakira!

It's a gesture that is made in the The Carnival of Barranquilla, which is one of the biggest carnival in the world and declared it one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO

Valery is not only as a reference to Carnaval, I think she mainly did it as a reference to zaghrouta which is a way of expressing happiness in some Arab countries. The gesture made in Carnaval de Quilla is a little different.

I watched it from here in the Middle East (Kuwait) and this is true, but I'll also add that people here laughed because she did it without covering her mouth (for good reasons w a mic) and now I get why women cover their mouths when they do this

Hey, that’s (sorta) my neck of the woods! But yeah, seeing the tongue was strange. I will say she’s way better at it than I’ll ever be...
