Rico Torres—CBS  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Sep 19, 2017 8:39 PM UTC Did you know Shakira, [pop legend](http://time.com/4665295/shakira-donald-trump-ban/), really loves a good rock ‘n’ roll jam while cruising through town? Now we do, thanks to Trevor Noah. The unlikely duo took to a car for a new episode of Apple’s [_Carpool Karaoke: The Series_](http://time.com/4928155/john-cena-shaq-carpool-karaoke/), and as ever it looks like there are plenty of surprises in store. For starters, the _Daily Show_ host and “Hips Don’t Lie” singer meet up not in L.A. or New York but in Barcelona, of all places, making for a picturesque backdrop for their drive, with Noah behind the wheel. “I became a pop singer, but I grew up listening to hard-core rock music,” Shakira explains before launching into a rousing singalong to The Cranberries’ “Zombie.” As it turns out, Shakira’s [distinctive warble](http://time.com/4051061/shakira-performs-imagine-at-united-nations/) suits the dark jam just as well as the alluring pop tracks we know her for. > [](https://twitter.com/CarpoolKaraoke/status/910309444524929025) Noah, meanwhile, decides to bust out the [Wu-Tang Clan](http://time.com/4564694/martin-shkreli-wu-tang-clan-donald-trump/), performing an admirable word-for-word rap. “That is one of the greatest moments of my life, I will store it in my memories, rapping Wu-Tang with Shakira,” he says. “I’m gonna expect a check,” Shakira insists. But she may not get so lucky: “We don’t pay checks in Africa,” the South African comedian jokes. “You send money to Africa, we don’t send money out.” Their video airs on Apple Music at 9 p.m. Sept. 19, as does a second episode starring [Tracee Ellis Ross](http://motto.time.com/4738776/tracee-ellis-ross-beingness-activism/) and Big Sean. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4948533/shakira-trevor-noah-carpool/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4948533/shakira-trevor-noah-carpool/"},"headline":"Watch Shakira and Trevor Noah Rock Out in a New Carpool Karaoke","datePublished":"2017-09-19T20:39:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:47:24.516Z","description":"The \"Hips Don't Lie\" singer and 'Daily Show' host pair up for a new episode of Carpool Karaoke: The Series, hitting the streets of Barcelona","url":"https://time.com/4948533/shakira-trevor-noah-carpool/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","carpool karaoke","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt20b40f30c590a65c/6988de73196cf462b9041fe6/trevor-noah-shakira.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt20b40f30c590a65c/6988de73196cf462b9041fe6/trevor-noah-shakira.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"CARPOOL KARAOKE","caption":"CARPOOL KARAOKE","creditText":"Rico Torres—CBS","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4948533/shakira-trevor-noah-carpool/","name":"Watch Shakira and Trevor Noah Rock Out in a New Carpool Karaoke"}}]}] ```
