Shakira brings Tyla on tour

Shakira, whose world tours consistently draw massive crowds, has long been recognised for championing international talent and embracing musical influences from around the globe. Adding Tyla to the lineup reflects the growing global influence of African music and the increasing demand for artists who blur genre and cultural boundaries.

The upcoming US tour is expected to feature a mix of Shakira’s classic hits and newer material. At the same time, Tyla will have the opportunity to showcase the infectious rhythms and signature style that have made her one of music’s most exciting young stars. Especially with her upcoming album A*POP, due to drop in July.

As anticipation builds, fans are already counting down to what promises to be one of the most talked-about tours of the year, with Tyla’s inclusion adding an exciting new dimension to an already star-studded production.
