About

Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, professionally known as Shakira, is a Colombian singer and songwriter born on February 2, 1977 in Barranquilla, Atlántico, Colombia, to a Colombian mother of Spanish-Italian descent and an American father of Lebanese-Italian descent. Writing songs and belly-dancing since childhood, her first album was released when she was a mere 14 years old. Other Spanish-language albums followed, each faring better than its predecessor, but it was not until 2001 that she achieved a world-wide breakthrough with the English-language "Laundry Service" album. Shakira is fluent in Spanish, English, Italian and Portuguese.
