A few hours before the concert, the streets near the venue were filled with images of the Colombian singer on t-shirts, flags, posters and all kinds of merchandise, while her music remained in the background with songs like 'Waka Waka', 'Ojos así' and 'Soltera'.

Carol and Yurani are two of the vendors who hope that the 'Shakira phenomenon' will allow them to sell at least 500 t-shirts that they made for the two concerts, which are added to the two she gave away last week in Barranquilla during the passage of the world tour 'Women no longer cry' through her country.

"We think it's a nice way to promote our t-shirts, made of peach skin material," says Yurani, who reveals that this is the first time they have sold their garments at a concert.

In the streets too makeshift beauty salons were set up, where men and women came to have their hair and makeup done while they waited for the stadium doors to open.

However, most fans arrived already made up, dressed in Shakira-themed outfits and ready for the concert, where they expect to sing and dance throughout the two-hour show.

Following her performances this Wednesday and Thursday in Bogotá , Shakirá will travel to Chile and then visit Argentina, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, the United States and Peru, where she will return with two dates in November after having to cancel a concert due to illness this month.
