Shakira, Latin Pop's Biggest Female Crossover Artist by Simly Sebastien

After achieving superstardom throughout Latin America, Colombian-born Shakira became Latin pop's biggest female crossover artist since Jennifer Lopez. Shakira Mebarak (full name: Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll) was born on February 2, 1977 in Barranquilla, Colombia. She is the only child of Nidya del Carmen Ripoll Torrado and William Mebarak Chadid, who are of Lebanese, Spanish (Catalan) and Italian descent.

Shakira wrote her first poem, entitled "La Rosa De Cristal" ("The Crystal Rose") when she was only four years old. Shakira wrote her first song entitled "Tus gafas oscuras" ("Your dark glasses"). Shakira's debut album, Magia, was recorded with Sony Music in 1990 when she was only thirteen years old. Only 1,200 copies were sold and the music video for Magia became first national pop video in Colombia. The second studio album Peligro of the same genre was released in 1993, though a commercial failure was better received than Magia.

Noted for her aggressive, rock-influenced approach, Shakira maintained an extraordinary degree of creative control over her music. She wrote or co-wrote nearly all of her own material and in the process gained a reputation as one of Latin music's most ambitiously poetic lyricists. Shakira decided that the most effective way to maintain control over her material was to learn English well enough to write in it herself.

Her moves are based on the art of Arabic belly dancing, a part of her Lebanese heritage. Fluidity in her body movement are most seen in the videos to her hits "Ojos Así", "La Tortura", "Hips Don't Lie", Whenever, Wherever / Suerte, "Beautiful Liar" and She Wolf / Loba. Shakira became famous with her single and music video Whenerever, Wherever (2001). Apart from performing at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, her song Waka Waka was the official song of the event.

SHE is one of the world's most successful performers, one of Latin America's biggest stars and now, is on her seventh studio album - Sale El Sol. The 12 songs, and three bonus tracks, on Sale El Sol (The Sun Comes Out) are stripped down, relaxed and allow Shakira's distinctive voice to shine in a way that has not been heard in years. On the opening track, the country-guitar flavoured Sale El Sol, Shakira teams her composing talents with Luis Fernando Ochoa. If all goes well, Shakira will play the goddess Kaali in an Indian film called Kaali- The Warrior Goddess produced by Karan Arora, CEO of High Ground Entertainment Ltd.
