Michael Jackson and Sony’s Sony/ATV Music Publishing has acquired Famous Music LLC from Viacom and therefore rights for 125,000 record breaking songs will be with them.

210,000 people…what do you think the number is? I say it is magnanimous! Well Shakira managed all that.

210.000 people gathered at Mexico City’s central Zocalo square for a free Shakira’s concert this Sunday. “This has been a month of absolute joy. I have fed off you, and I leave with my heart full,” Shakira told the crowd. That’s a more than sumptuous meal.

Pop Diva Shakira will give a free concert in Mexico City at the capital’s giant Zocalo square. Sunday’s free concert will be open to domestic and foreign visitors.

“With the aim of converting Mexico City into the Show Capital and offering quality and free artistic events, the government of the Federal District will present Shakira on May 27 at 8 p.m. in the Zocalo,” reads the text of the announcement that is being circulated everywhere. Cafe Tacuba, Mana, Alejandro Fernandez, Juan Gabriel, Chayanne, Pablo Milanes, Miguel Bose and Shakira’s compatriot Juanes are among other performers. Shakira will wrap up this tour on May 30th with a show at the Coca-Cola Auditorium in the northern city of Monterrey.
