Shakira revealed that for the competition organized by the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) she will adapt her single Puntería, belonging to the new album Las mujeres ya no cry.

You travel, you reach all parts of the world and I have been searching throughout my career to be part of how music has the ability to transcend borders, languages and cultures, concluded the Colombian.
