While we knew Shakira supported the release of Ingrid Betancourt, we didn’t know the two had become fast friends. Shaki and Ingrid were spotted strolling the streets of Paris yesterday, chatting and lively. Ingrid, a French-Colombian politician, is now working on an empowering campaign against left-wing FARC rebels, which held her in captivity for 6 years. Looks like Shakira is now part of la lucha!

Ingrid is also using Shakira’s song “Hero” as the music to her political commercial:

Hey guerrillas, I’m Ingrid Betancourt. I want you to recover your liberty like I have. I’m waiting for you!
