Overview
- Shakira’s free Copacabana concert, held Saturday night in Rio, drew an estimated two million people according to the city.
- Drones sketched a she‑wolf in the sky and an expanded 1,300–1,500 square meter stage anchored a two‑hour spectacle with Brazilian guests Caetano Veloso, Maria Bethânia and Anitta.
- TV Globo carried the show live nationwide, extending the event’s reach far beyond the beachfront crowd.
- Authorities reported no major incidents during the concert after deploying thousands of police with drones and dozens of security towers across the beachfront.
- A worker died during stage construction days earlier and police opened safety investigations, while the city touted strong local spending from the show under its Todo Mundo no Rio program.
