Shakira real name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll. She was born in February 2, 1977, in Barranquilla, Colombia, into a poor family. Her mother was a native Colombia and her father was of Lebanese descent. As a child, Shakira soaked up music from both cultures and listened heavily to English language rock & roll. Within her favorite rock & roll bands are Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Police, The Cure and Nirvana.

Known as Shakira, her first name; she is a singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, record producer, dancer, philanthropist and she is also an occasional actress. As an actress she played the role on a Colombian telenovela: “El Oasis”.Shakira, her main name, is a Spanish name that came from the Arabic word for “graceful”.According to her biography, she wrote her first song at age eight and speaks English, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese and Italian. She is a perfectionist and spends hours in the studio. Her career started in Latin America where she has been a major figure; approximately in the mid-1990s. With her album Laundry Service she conquered the English–speaking world. She is the only artist from South America to reach the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100, the Australian ARIA chart. The United World Chart and the UK Singles Chart.

An interesting note about her album LAUNDRY SERVICE is the way she was able to translate her Latin American sensibility into a new language. Shakira’s partnership with Emilio and Gloria Estefan gave her the idea to do songs in English. The first song that was translated in English by Gloria Estefan was “Ojos Así”, a great hit written originally by Shakira! That song appears in Shakira’s album ¿Dónde están los ladrones? or Where are the thieves?She has dyed her long brown hair blonde and has romanced Antonio de la Rua, who is son of the former president of Argentina)Shakira’s discography includes:
