ColoMbian singer and composer Shakira Isabel
Mebarak Ripoll, 2 February 1977, Barranquilla, ColoMbia. This ColoMbian singer
first broke into the Latin Music charts in 1995, and has since established
herself as a crossover star with a groundbreaking blend of pop and rock styles.
The daughter of a ColoMbian mother and a Lebanese father, her name means
"woman full of grace" in Arabic. Shakira left her family home at the
age of 13 to pursue a modelling career in Bogota, but ended up signing a
recording contract with Sony Records. She released her debut album in 1991, but
despite indicating a precocious talent (all the tracks were self-written)
neither this nor the follow-up Peligro enjoyed much commercial success. Shakira
returned to high school before branching out into acting, appearing on the
ColoMbian soap-opera El Oasis. She released her breakthrough album, the
rock-orientated Pies Descalzos, in 1996. The album was buoyed by the
chart-topping success of the singles "Estoy Aqui" and "Donde
Estas Corazon?", and went on to top the album charts in several Latin
countries. The follow-up Donde Estan Los Ladrones? and an MTV Unplugged
recording session were equally successful, and in 2000 Shakira won a Grammy for
Best Female Pop Vocal Performance ("Ojos Asi") at the inaugural Latin
Grammy Awards. The following year's Laundry Service, her first album to include
English language songs, affirmed the singer's superstar status when it broke
into the Top 5 of the mainstream US pop chart. The album went on to enjoy
international acclaim, buoyed by the huge commercial success of the singles
"Whenever, Wherever" and "Underneath Your Clothes".
