Colombia (1991 – present)
Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll (born Wednesday, February 2, 1977), known simply as Shakira, is a ten-time Grammy Award-winning Colombian singer-songwriter, musician, composer, record producer, music-video director, dancer, choreographer and Golden Globe nominee who has sold over fifty million records worldwide. She has been in the music industry since 1991, when she released her first album. A child prodigy, she began writing poems and songs at age four and taught herself the guitar at age ten. In 2001, she broke through into the English-speaking market with the release of her first album in that language, Laundry Service, which she wrote and produced herself and which has sold 3 million copies in the United States and 13 million copies worldwide.
Shakira is half lebanese, one quarter Spanish, and one quarter Italian. She was born to a Colombian mother of Catalan and Italian descent, Nidia del Carmen Ripoll Torrado, and a lebanese father, William Mebarak Chadid, in Barranquilla, Colombia, where she says she grew up among the Lebanese and Italian communities. Her father was born in Lebanon, and immediately after that, his family migrated to New York, but he soon migrated to Colombia. Shakira, which means “grateful” in Arabic (شاكرة), is named after her paternal grandmother. She was one of seven siblings, one of whom is her road manager. Shakira attended a Catholic school and in second grade was rejected for the school choir because her vibrato was too strong.[2] She began writing and composing music at the age of eight and later choreographed dance routines.

morena?? lol! piensa en lo que hables, raisi! http://www.shakiragallery.com/pictures/details/17787 .. shakira es mil veces más morena ahora que en esas épocas anteriores cuando parecía "goth"... me encanta DELL pero odio su imagen durante esa etapa -- la "rockera" con ganas de ser alanis. barf. por favor NO. sin duda prefiero la shaki sexy de los últimos años. =)

Extraño a la antigua Shakira, esa que cantaba "Braulio" y "no creo", cuando era morena y sus composiciones se me hacían más interesantes.

No pienso rebajarme a tu nivel. El dia que madures, quizas hablamos. Hasta entonces, sigue escuchando lo que te de la gana pero deja de insultar al projimo. PD: ¿"she is the best person that I've ever saw in my life"? ¿Acaso la conoces en persona? Y de lo que su voz es la mejor ahi no entro, por que son gustos personales y a diferencia de ti, yo soy capaz de respetarla.

@PeterSpears, llorando de semejante manera por que alguien manifieste libremente su opinión demuestra tu nula madurez. Aprende del resto, que o bien por que respetan mi opinion o bien por no crear discusiones, ni han dicho nada acerca de mi comentario. Cuando ponen a parir a cualuquiera de mis grupos favoritos yo no insulto a nadie. Buenas noches al resto.
