Taking the long trip over to Germany, Shakira was spotted arriving at the Berlin airport earlier today.

The “She Wolf” songstress -who is in town for the “Bambi Awards 2009- looked to be in high spirits as she willingly stopped and signed autographs for some fans.

 

And it sounds like Shakira may be branching out to the hip-music world. She told MTV News, “[I’m] starting to understand and assimilate and internalize hip-hop music and hip-hop influences, so I’m trying to incorporate them within my own music.”

The 32-year-old continued, “I’m never going to be a hard-core hip-hop singer,” she said. “I come from Colombia, but I think music today … it’s about bringing elements that belong to different universes, even though they’re opposed or similar, and making them exist in this big melting pot that the world is today. The world has shrunk and we’re just a big neighborhood, and it’s kind of cool.”
