Rudolfo Burgos Aka Shakiro — Shakira Imitation
It was a gift or a curse, but Rudolfo Burgos' uncanny Shakira imitation shocked the judges on the TV show. Shakira’s imitator Rudolfo Burgos, now is known as the Chilean 'Shakiro'.
Burgos, was a complete stranger a week ago, his Gitana debut aired last week on the Megavisión television show, Yo Soy, which challenges imitators.
Burgos has gained fans on Facebook and his Youtube videos. Shakira herself even tweeted about the success of her imitator, "I present you Shakiro! I would love to meet him in person when I go to Chile".
After international superstar Shakira posted on her Twitter account her desire to meet Shakiro, her imitator, the wish was granted. Shakira and Shakiro met prior to the singer's concert in Santiago, Chile.
The hip-shaking sex icon was ecstatic to meet her impersonator who seemed star struck by the Colombian star.
"What you do is incredible", Shakira told Shakiro. "I was impressed, you sing exactly like me."
When the singer asked her male impersonator how he manages to imitate her so well, he said at times it is difficult.
"The higher (notes) are harder for me to do", Shakiro said. "But, working hard at them, I can hit them."
After asking her imitator to sing for her, he gladly accepted. Together, they sing Shakira's song, Gitana (Gypsy).
"Impressive!" Shakira said.
