There is nothing that Beyonce Knowles can't do, is there?
Well, yeah, she wasn't nominated for an Academy Award for her work in the glitzy filmed adaptation of 'Dreamgirls.'
But hey, lots of ultra-talented folk have been passed up for coveted awards.
But win, lose or draw there seems to be no stopping the former Destiny's Child frontwoman.
She has teamed up with legendary Mexican singer Alejandro Fernandez to record the sensual, flamenco-pop song 'Amor Gitano,' set to make its debut Feb. 12 during the premiere episode of the Telemundo novella 'El Zorro.'
120 episodes of the eagerly anticipated Spanish language soap opera airs weekdays at 9:00 p.m.
Co-written with Grammy winning songwriters/recording artists Reyli Barba and Jaime Flores and produced by Grammy winning producer Rudy Perez, the 'Amor Gitano' is a heated declaration of love and passion. "I'm your gypsy, your pilgrimage," sings Fernandez. "I'm your thief, I'm going to love you even if they tear my heart out," answers Beyonce.
The track will officially go to radio later this month, and will appear on upcoming releases from both artists, respectively.
In April, a special edition of Beyonce's multi-platinum sophomore album, 'B-Day,' will be released including 'Amor Gitano' and six other Spanish language tracks.
A Spanish version of her chart-topping hit 'Irreplaceable' serves at the centerpieces of the new opus. This week marked 10 consecutive weeks that the single (in English) has been in the #1 spot on the 'Billboard' chart.
A special video version of the new 'B-Day' on DVD, with 12 videos including two in Spanish, will also be available on DVD exclusively at Walmart.

I can't believe how busy Beyonce stays. that why she's so inspirational because she shows that as a person you can continue to evolve and explore, I think the best thing about all she does is that she breaks down boundaries and makes it easier for the next person to follow in her footsteps. Also being as though as she is a mainstream artist and she has fans of all different sorts, i think they'll appreciate this as if she were directly reaching out to them, which I'm sure she is.
I'd like to definetly give props to Beyonce she's getting a chance to do what not a lot of artist get to do. Plus being on the soap opera may help her acting skills (Not that she's terrible but she's no Angela Bassett)
Best of Luck to Beyonce.
