Shakira surprises cancer patient and more

From Career Milelials to new music releases to great advertising and the little important moments, Billboard Editors highlight uplifting moments in Latin music. Here’s what happened in the Latin music world this week.

FEID launches Sixdo Collection

Thursday (January 23) feid hosted the first pop-up for his brand “Sixdo” in Miami. A one -day event was a fan experience and contained a room similar to the artist’s personal closet. Fans also had the opportunity to sit down with Ferxxo for a roundtable conversation where they could ask him questions. The pop-up showed the initial development of his clothing brand “Sixdo”, which included a closet with green neon lights and a painting representing his sold-out shows in Latin America. Ferxxo has suggested the clothing brand during its concerts, in music videos and even on album covers (starting with Ferxxo Bind. 1 Mother) that leads up to the big reveal this week. The goal is to continue to develop this brand through 2025.

A healthy moment of shak

Shakira surprised a young fan named Zoe, who is currently under cancer treatment. The dance studio Hip Hop Kidz and Sunrise Day Camp shared the healthy moment on Instagram and caught the moment the Colombian artist and her sweet fan met for the first time, opened gifts and even made “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”-the dance together.

“Despite the tough fight she has faced, Zoe’s mood rose as the international star took time out of her busy schedule to spend time with her,” the post text of the post read. “Shakira, known for her charitable work and deep empathy, shared some quality time with Zoe and encouraged her to stay strong and never give up.”
