It is a Colombian charity with special schools for poor children all around Colombia. She founded the Pies Descalzos Foundation. Later songs "She Wolf" and "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" proved that she is still one of the biggest stars in the world right now "Waka Waka" is currently the 28th most viewed YouTube music video of all time with 1.4 billion views, and was the 2010 World Cup anthem. " Hips Don't Lie", a collab with Wyclef Jean, is still the world's best-selling single of the 21st Century and is the world's biggest pop song ever as well as being the YouTube video with the highest number of views until 2007 and spawning "Hips Don't Lie (Bamboo)", the 2006 FIFA World Cup anthem. Laundry Service nevertheless became a big hit, selling over 13 million copies. Her Latin fans also criticized Shakira, since she apparently sold out to the contemporary American pop market. (Yes, this has the song with the lyric "Lucky for my breasts they're small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains".) Sure enough, this gained her criticism. Her English lyrics were unusual, which was because she hadnt quite grasped the language yet. Highly acclaimed by American critics, it is rated as one of her best-ever live performances.Īfter the success of these two albums, she began to work on a crossover album to English, Laundry Service. Shakiras first live album, MTV Unplugged, was recorded in New York City on August 12, 1999. Its also notable for being a success in the United States, where 1,500,000 copies were sold. It combined world, rock, pop, and dance perfectly.

❽ónde Están los Ladrones? (English: Where Are the Thieves?), inspired by an incident in an airport in which a suitcase full of her written lyrics was stolen, was a bigger hit than Pies Descalzos. The songs of the album are melodic, musically surprising and gritty, with intellectual lyrics and an electronic/acoustic blend that effectively broke the formulaic mold of Latin pop with an authentic sound that hadnt been heard before. Pies Descalzos (English: Bare Feet) was groundbreaking in the Latin pop world. When it was time to record her third album, Shakira started to produce her own music, perfect her voice and take creative control of her music. These albums were commercial failures, and soon became victims of Canon Discontinuity. She got to record two albums in her teenage years: Magia (English: Magic) and Peligro (English: Danger). The images stayed with her and she said to herself, "One day Im going to help these kids when I become a famous artist." To show her that things could be worse, her father took her to a local park where orphans were sniffing glue. She got to return to Barranquilla, but she was shocked to find that a lot of her parents belongings had been sold. She was sent to relatives in Los Angeles. When she was 8, her father went bankrupt. Her passion for being a live performer was ignited. Here, she heard the doumbek, and started dancing to an enthusiastic crowd. Hailing from Barranquilla, Colombia, her Lebanese father took her to a Middle Eastern restaurant when she was 4. Known for her belly dancing, her multiculturalism, and her Alanis Morissette-like voice, Shakira is a she-wolf to be reckoned with.
She is of Lebanese, Catalan, Spanish and Italian descent. Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll (born Februin Barranquilla, Colombia) is a Colombian singer and dancer who is the highest-selling Colombian artist of all time and the second most successful female Latin singer of all time (after Gloria Estefan), having sold over 50 million albums worldwide.
