Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, born in 1977 in Colombia, emerged as a major figure in Latin music during the 1990s across Latin America and made her mark in the United States by the 2000s. Her distinctive oriental style sets her apart from other artists.
Shakira is not just a successful singer but also a talented songwriter, instrumentalist, record producer, and dancer. Her original and creative music has captured the hearts of millions, appealing to both young and old audiences.
Her lyrics are known for their originality, often including unique poetic lines such as, "You bit the apple and gave up paradise, condemning a serpent when it was your choice." She masterfully crafts rhymes and successfully adapted her style into English with ease, starting in 2001.
Her first English-language album, "Laundry Service," was a tremendous hit, earning her numerous accolades, including the majority of her 10 Grammy Awards. Hits like "Underneath Your Clothes" and "Whenever, Wherever" became instant classics. Her music blends pop, oriental, tango, and Latin rhythms to create a fresh sound.
Following this success, she released "Fijación Oral Vol. 1 and 2," collaborating with artists like Alejandro Sanz on "Tortura" and Wyclef Jean on "Hips Don’t Lie," leading to more chart-topping achievements.
Shakira's diverse heritage, including Catalan-Italian and Lebanese-Catholic roots, contributes to her distinct oriental and Latin style, making her stand out in the music industry.
Her songwriting journey began early; she wrote her first poem, "La Rosa de Cristal," at age four. After her brother's tragic death in a motorcycle accident when she was eight, she penned her first song, "Tus Gafas Oscuras."
Shakira's personality shines through her lyrics and poems and sometimes stirs political debate, such as her controversial comments regarding the Middle Eastern conflict, highlighting her Lebanese background.
