Out of the Blue, Oxford’s all-male a cappella group, has produced a cover of Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie” for charity. Proceeds from purchases of the single will be donated to the Helen & Douglas House Hospice for Children and Young Adults.
Shakira recently tweeted her endorsement of the students’ rendition, which now boasts more than 2.7 million views on YouTube
Hey @ootboxford, we LOVE your a capella Shak medley! ¡Nos encanta este medley que han hecho @ootboxford! http://t.co/wzNCLruDYq ShakHQ
— Shakira (@shakira) July 23, 2014
This medley is not the first Oxford-Shakira crossover. The Colombian pop star gave a speech about “universal access to education” at the university in December 2009.
