From restaurants around the globe to luxury resorts, the Hard Rock brand understands that memorable events in and around the table have a melody that plays in people's memories long after their visit. During International Women’s Month, Hard Rock partnered with Sharika to not only bring a memorable dish to diners but to celebrate women around the globe.
Starting this month and for the entire year, Hard Rock is ready to belt out “Estoy Aqui.” While some people’s dance moves might not have as rhythmic movements as the legendary Shakira, everyone appreciates that strong, powerful women demand attention on every stage.
Following the hugely successful Lionel Messi partnership, the Shakira collaboration includes not only limited time menu items, but also celebrates her fearless music and how it tells stories of women empowerment. Additionally, the partnership will benefit Pies Descalzos Foundation.
As Shakira explained, “I’m excited to partner with Hard Rock, an organization with an incredible history of uplifting women through the power of music, to empower my sisters this International Women’s Day and beyond. Together we can use our voices to break barriers and make the world a more inclusive space where every woman feels confident being themselves.”
While her new tour touts that it is no longer the time for women to cry, the idea of empowerment is not limited to just one month. Shakira, as well as many women music legends, command the stage and serve as an example for other women to pursue their dreams. One note, one vision, and love for all can be the positive message that helps dissipate any doubts.
Hungry for to taste the Hard Rock and Shakira limited edition menu?
Joining the Hard Rock menu are three food items and one specialty cocktail. Whether guests choose one or all of the delicious items, everyone is “loca” for these scrumptious flavors.
The menu items are: Hips Don't Lie (cocktail), Chicken Fattoush Salad, Hamburguesa Colombiana, and Dulce De Leche Hot Fudge Brownie. The cocktail pairs well with all three food options. Featuring elderflower, muddled strawberries, and cucumber, it is bright, sweet. For a springtime launch, it is a light, refreshing option to keep the party going all day long.
The Hamburguesa Colombiana is quite approachable. The smashburger features familiar toppings, plus the Legendary Sauce. Whether paired with a beer or that Hips Don’t Lie Cocktail, it is a great opening act to a memorable night.
The Chicken Fattoush Salad is a more interesting option. Inspired by Shakira’s Lebanese, this salad is complex yet well-balanced. The combination of Fattoush vegetables with the greens, flatbread croutons, and greens is hearty yet light. More importantly, the combination of Caesar and red wine vinaigrette will make people want to borrow this idea for their next salad.
Whether guests want to turn it up to volume one or crank it to the max, the Hard Rock and Shakira collaboration has everyone singing its praises. This celebration might have started for International Women's Day, but is a tune that will play on for a long time.
