I was big into Shakira my sophomore year in college.  That's when she had that "Wherever, Whenever" song right?  Or maybe it as the one about how her hips don't lie.  She's coming to Boston (Harvard in particular) later this week on Saturday - 2/26 to receive the Artist of the Year Award from Harvard. 

Shakira will be honored with the Harvard University 2011 Artist of the year award. The presentation will take place on February 26 as part of Harvard's annual Cultural Rhythms award ceremony.

S. Allen Counter, director of the Harvard Foundation, says in a statement: "The students and faculty of the Harvard Foundation are honored to present multi-platinum artist Shakira with the 2011 Artist of the Year award."

Congrats to Shakira!  I may wander around Harvard Square just to see if I can catch a glimpse of her.
