Shakira and Enrique Iglesias will be playing in Live Earth Hamburg at HSH Nordbank Arena on 7/7/07, Live Earth organizers announced yesterday (June 22). Tickets for Live Earth Hamburg are available at Eventim - Live Earth Tickets.

Shakira is a two-time Grammy Award-winning and eight-time Latin Grammy Award-winning Colombian singer, songwriter and producer and has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide.

In 1995, Shakira created the Pies Descalzos Foundation aimed at helping Colombian children who are victims of violence. She was also instrumental in the creation of Alas, an organization of the Latin world's biggest stars who are working to bring awareness to the social and economic conditions of children in Latin America.

Enrique Iglesias, the Madrid-born, Miami-raised singer, has sold more than 40 million albums and has topped the charts and gone platinum with both English and Spanish language works. Iglesias won the Grammy for Best Latin Performer in 1997 and the Latin Grammy for Best Male Pop Album in 2003.

His new album, Insomniac, was released last week, and the single "Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)" has jumped to the top of the US, UK, Mexico, Sweden, Netherlands and other charts.

"Live Earth is about engaging a mass movement of people to take action against the climate crisis," Live Earth Founder and Producer Kevin Wall said. "The addition of internationally popular music acts like Enrique Iglesias and Shakira will help us reach millions of people across the globe."
