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.

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.
