Hello Libby!

I'm only guessing, but Taiwanese singer/songwriter Jolin Tsai wrote or sang a song titled "Shake Your Body". It was a promotional single for Pepsi in 2014, and I've found a video on her YouTube channel:

Perhaps Google translated the title as "Shake It Baby"!

LOL okay. The name Tsai reminded me of the word Thai, so I wasn't sure what that meant.

I wonder who the string quartet are? As well as the mystery guest! Probably an Asian artist. And no, this is not New Zealand in spring (check the twitter thread for how I cracked the case on that one ).

That song sounds very nice. I hope Frank can manage a recording.

Wish I could somehow go...especially as the 15th is my birthday LOL.
