Shakira, the Colombian chanteuse became the world’s biggest Latin crossover artist with her hit album Laundry Service in 2001. Born to parents of Colombian and Lebanese decent, Shakira Mebarak discovered her love of singing and at very young age. The rest is history.
She’s an excellent song writer and lyricist. Through out the years she’s evolved from Rocker, Belly Dancer, and now she’s in her more diva phase with songs like Gypsy and She Wolf. I personally love her original raspy voice. She sang the soundtrack for the movie, ” Love in the Time of Cholera”. The haunting lyrics of Hay Amores and Despedida. Here are a few songs to see for yourself.
