'I had never heard it in my life,' Shakira, 42, who lives in Spain, told the court when asked about Livam's song.
MADRID - Colombian singers Shakira and Carlos Vives denied during an appearance Wednesday at a Madrid court that they plagiarised part of their Grammy award-winning hit La Bicicleta.
Vives, 57, who composed Yo te quiero tanto with music producer Andres Castro, also said he did not know the song or Livam. "There is nothing similar about it, not the harmony, not the theme," said Shakira, who hummed several fragments of her song during her court appearance.
