We're very pleased to report that Shakira will release her brand new album, Sale el Sol/The Sun Comes Out, on October 19th.

The album will feature Shakira's record-breaking global hit "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)", as well as a new single "Loca". Recorded in the Dominican Republic, “Loca” is Shakira’s interpretation of Dominican artist El Cata’s song “Loca Con Su Tiguere". You can hear the Spanish version of the track, above. There will also be an English version, featuring a guest appearance from Dizzee Rascal, the UK's number one rapper.

Here's an exclusive look at the single and album artwork:

We continue our new series of classic Shakira Live Moments ahead of the tour starting with this amazing video of Shakira performing Waka Waka at the UK's Glastonbury Festival on June 26 2010.
