Shakira is a Colombian singer-songwriter, dancer, and global superstar known for her distinctive voice and captivating stage presence. Born Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll on February 2, 1977, in Barranquilla, Colombia, she emerged as a musical prodigy, releasing her first album at the young age of 13. However, it was her crossover to the English-language market with the album "Laundry Service" in 2001 that catapulted her to international fame, with hits such as "Whenever, Wherever" and "Underneath Your Clothes." Her ability to blend Latin, rock, and pop elements with her own belly-dancing-infused performances has earned her a massive global following.

Over the years, Shakira has continued to evolve as an artist, maintaining her relevance with a string of successful albums and chart-topping singles. Her recent releases show a diverse array of musical experimentation, from the energetic beats of "Te Felicito" and the plaintive ballad "Monotonía," to her collaborative Bzrp Music Sessions, which showcase her versatility as an artist. With multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy Awards to her name, Shakira has cemented herself as one of the leading artists in Latin pop and a prominent figure in the international music scene. Her philanthropic work, particularly in education through her Barefoot Foundation, has also distinguished her as a dedicated advocate for children's welfare worldwide.
