The prominent woman from Barranquilla, known for her social activism, has once again showcased her signature style in her latest song. Through her mesmerizing dance moves and lyrics, she highlights the plight of millions of oppressed workers. She skillfully blends her personal struggles with creative artistry to create a compelling piece of music that resonates with people worldwide.
Apart from the debut of her music, it’s important to note that our artist has a knack for pinpointing issues and sparking controversy in a musical landscape that often lacks substance when it comes to societal development.
It’s not easy to create a hit that explores deep and meaningful topics. Only true artists can achieve this, while the others are just singers. Artists have a responsibility to society, and Shakira is a great example of someone who lives up to this. Through her music, she has taught us valuable lessons about educating ourselves, fighting against social injustice, corruption, and depression in young people. Her latest songs also empower women. Shakira truly embodies what it means to be an exemplary human being.
In “El Jefe,” the artist employs a contemporary storytelling technique with informal language and offensive language that conveys a sense of rebellion. However, the song’s underlying message is a clear call for equitable treatment of immigrant laborers. While the video portrays the injustices in developed nations, the song’s theme is applicable to our society, which still practices labor systems reminiscent of feudalism.
Through her song, she boldly calls out employers who exploit their workers and take pleasure in their labor. Shakira and Fuerza Regida use their platform to bring attention to the basic rights of workers that are often ignored, as highlighted by the International Labor Organization’s recent report which highlights concerning statistics.
Modern slavery affects a staggering 50 million individuals worldwide, with a concerning 25% being children. Additionally, women continue to face gender pay gaps, earning 23% less than their male counterparts in similar job positions.
