President Hugo Chavez, who claims to be a socialist and abhor anything “capitalist”, has weakened his stance in a hypocritical move to cater to Shakira. He even stated that he might just go undercover in order to watch Shakira get her shake on. He said he might have to wear a wig so no-one would recognize him.
Last month, Shakira cleaned up at the Latin Grammy awards and has been traveling worldwide on her “Oral Fixation” tour. Chavez has referred to Shakira as a “sister of this great Latin American homeland” ““ he’s even lent her an airfield in Caracas, which until now has been used exclusively for nefarious government purposes.
Shakira is backed by Sony BMG Music Entertainment and Epic Records. In the blogosphere, however, there have been rumors that this may only represent Chavez’s first steps towards a more capitalist Venezuela and that secret talks between Chavez and BMG are currently underway to establish a chain of sweat shops in order to save costs on printing CDs in China.
