Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll[a] (/ʃəˈkɪərə/ shə-KEER-ə, Spanish: [ʃaˈkiɾa isaˈβel meβaˈɾak riˈpol]; born 2 February 1977)[1] is a Colombian singer-songwriter. She has had a significant impact on the musical landscape of Latin America and has been credited with popularizing Hispanophone music on a global level.[2] The recipient of various accolades, she has won four Grammy Awards and fifteen Latin Grammy Awards, including three Song of the Year wins.
Shakira made her recording debut with Sony Music Colombia at the age of 14. Following the commercial failure of her first two albums, Magia (1991) and Peligro (1993), she rose to prominence with the next two, Pies Descalzos (1995) and Dónde Están los Ladrones? (1998). Shakira entered the English-language market with her fifth album, Laundry Service (2001), which sold over 13 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album of all time by a female Latin artist. Her success was further solidified with the Spanish-language albums Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 (2005), Sale el Sol (2010), El Dorado (2017), and Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (2024), all of which topped the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart, making her the first woman with number-one albums across four different decades. Her English-language albums Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 (2005), She Wolf (2009), and Shakira (2014) received platinum certifications in various countries worldwide.
Shakira scored numerous number-one singles and other top songs worldwide, including "Estoy Aquí", "Ciega, Sordomuda", "Ojos Así", "Whenever, Wherever", "Underneath Your Clothes", "Objection (Tango)", "La Tortura", "Hips Don't Lie", "Beautiful Liar", "She Wolf", "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)", "Loca", "Rabiosa", "Can't Remember to Forget You", "Dare (La La La)", "La Bicicleta", "Chantaje", "Te Felicito", "Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53", and "TQG". Shakira served as a coach on two seasons of the American singing competition television series The Voice (2013–2014), had a voice role in the animated film Zootopia (2016), and executive produced and judged the dance competition series Dancing with Myself (2022).
With over 125 million records sold worldwide, Shakira is one of the world's best-selling musicians.[3] Noted to be a "global phenom" whose impact has "reached every corner of the world", Shakira has been described as an "artistic link between the west and the east" for popularizing Middle Eastern sounds in the West, and western sounds in the East (mainly the Middle East).[4] She is credited with opening the doors of the international market for other Latin artists.[5][6] Billboard named her the Top Female Latin Artist of the Decade twice (2000s and 2010s).[7][8] For her philanthropic work with her Barefoot Foundation and her contributions to music, she received the Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year and Harvard Foundation Artist of the Year awards in 2011. Shakira was appointed to the President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics in the United States in 2011, and Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government in 2012.

Early life�
Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll was born on 2 February 1977 in Barranquilla, Colombia. Her name means "thankful" in Arabic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-10 She is the only child of William Mebarak Chadid and Nidia Ripoll Torrado. Her family is of Spanish and Lebanese descent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-11 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-12 Shakira's paternal great-grandmother emigrated to Sincelejo, Colombia from Lebanon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-WilliamMebarak-13 After establishing in Colombia, Shakira's grandmother was born, who gave birh to Shakira's father, William, in New York City. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-WilliamMebarak-13 When he was around five, his family moved back to Colombia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-14 Shakira's maternal grandfather, Tomás Eduardo Ripoll, was born in Barranquilla while her grandmother, Josefina Torrado Núñez, was born in Ábrego. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-15 Her maternal grandmother Spanish surnameTorrado is Catalan and originates from four brothers who immigrated from Catalonia to coastal Colombia in the 19th century.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-16 She has also stated that she has distant Italian roots through an ancestor with the surname "Pisciotti" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-17 She was raised Catholic and attended Catholic schools. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-18 She has eight older half-siblings from her father's previous marriage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraTimes200903-19 Shakira spent much of her youth in Barranquilla, a city located on the northern Caribbean coast of Colombia.

Shakira wrote her first poem, titled "La rosa de cristal" ('The Crystal Rose'), when she was only four years old. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-:1-20 As she was growing up, she was fascinated watching her father writing stories on a typewriter, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-:1-20 and asked for one as a Christmas gift. She got that typewriter at age seven, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-:1-20 and has continued writing poetry since then. These poems eventually evolved into songs. When Shakira was two years old, her older half-brother was killed, at the age of nineteen, in a motorcycle accident; six years later, at age eight, Shakira wrote her first song, titled "Tus gafas oscuras" ('Your dark glasses'), which was inspired by her father, who for years wore dark glasses to hide his grief. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-21

When Shakira was four, her father took her to a local Middle Eastern restaurant, where Shakira first heard the doumbek, a traditional drum used in Middle-Eastern music and which typically accompanied belly dancing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-rollingstone-22 She started dancing on the table, and the experience made her realize that she wanted to be a performer. She enjoyed singing for schoolmates and teachers (and even the nuns) at her Catholic school, but in second grade, she was rejected for the school choir because her vibrato was too strong. The music teacher told her that she sounded "like a goat". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-rollingstone-22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-23 At school, she was often sent out of the class because of her hyperactivity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-24 She says she had also been known as "the belly dancer girl", as she would demonstrate every Friday at school a number she had learned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-rollingstone-22 "That's how I discovered my passion for live performance," she says. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-usaweekend-25 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraTimes200903-19 To instill gratitude in Shakira for her upbringing, her father took her to a local park to see orphans who lived there. The images stayed with her, and she said to herself: "One day I'm going to help these kids when I become a famous artist." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraTimes200903-19"

Between the ages of ten and thirteen, Shakira was invited to various events in Barranquilla and gained some recognition in the area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Gale-26 It was at this approximate time that she met local theater producer Monica Ariza, who was impressed with her and as a result tried to help her career. During a flight from Barranquilla to Bogotá, Ariza convinced Sony Music Colombia executive Ciro Vargas to hold an audition for Shakira in a hotel lobby. Vargas held Shakira in high regard and, returning to the Sony Music Colombia office, gave the cassette to a song and artist director. However, the director was not overly excited and thought Shakira was something of "a lost cause". Undaunted and still convinced that Shakira had talent, Vargas set up an audition in Bogotá. He arranged for Sony Music Colombia executives to arrive at the audition, with the idea of surprising them with Shakira's performance. She performed three songs for the executives and impressed them enough for her to be signed to record three albums. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Driven_Shakira-27




1990–1994: The beginnings�
Shakira's debut album, Magia, was recorded with Sony Music Entertainment (Colombia) from 1990, when she was only 13 years old. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Shakira_biography-28 The songs are a collection composed by her since she was eight and by others, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-29 mixed pop-rock ballads and disco uptempo songs with electronic accompaniment and some live musicians. The album was released in June 1991 and featured "Magia" (provided with a music video) and three other singles. Though it fared well on Colombian radio and gave the young Shakira much exposure, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Driven_Shakira-27"] the album did not fare well commercially as only 1,200 copies were sold in Colombia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Shakira_biography-28 After the poor performance of Magia, Shakira's label urged her to return to the studio to release a follow-up record. Little known outside of her native Colombia at the time, Shakira was invited to perform at Chile's Viña del Mar International Song Festival in February 1993. The festival gave aspiring Latin American singers a chance to perform their songs, and the winner was then chosen by a panel of judges. Shakira performed the ballad "Eres" ("You Are") and won the trophy for third place. One of the judges who voted for her to win was the then 20-year-old Ricky Martin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30

Shakira's second studio album, titled Peligro, was released in March 1993. More developed than Magia, it lists many musicians who participated in the recordings, has fuller sound and features a video for "Tú Serás la Historia de Mi Vida". But Shakira was not pleased with the final result, mainly taking issue with the production. The album was better received than Magia had been, though it was also considered a commercial failure due to Shakira's refusal to advertise or promote it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30 Of the eighteen songs presented on Magia and Peligro, nine were written by Shakira. In her later work, Shakira generally did not refer to or perform songs from the first two albums. From 1994 to 1997, Shakira starred in the Colombian TV series El Oasis, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 loosely based on the 1985 Armero tragedy.

Shakira originally recorded the song "¿Dónde Estás Corazón?" (later included on her album Pies Descalzos) for the compilation album Nuestro Rock Volumen II, released in Colombia in 1994. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Driven_Shakira-27 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-lyrics-32

Shakira graduated from secondary school at an early age, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30 but her professional involvement in music prevented her from continuing formal education.

1995–2000:�
Shakira returned to recording music under Sony Music Columbia in 1995 with Luis Fernando Ochoa, her principal music collaborator for her next three albums: Pies Descalzos, The Remixes and Dónde Están los Ladrones?. Pies Descalzos and Dónde Están los Ladrones? are Shakira's most important albums. The Remixes, mostly Pies Descalzos music redone as dance pieces, is a highly popular album where Shakira showcases newly recorded songs and vocals, while Ochoa demonstrates his instrument playing and music production skills.

Shakira began using musical influences from a number of world regions and genres, the trend she continued and cultivated later in her career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-33 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Artisty-34 Recording for her third studio album and her international debut album, titled Pies Descalzos, started in February 1995, after the success of her single "¿Dónde Estás Corazón?". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Driven_Shakira-27]

The Pies Descalzos album was released in October 1995. It reached number five on the U.S. Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. The album spawned six hit singles, "Estoy Aquí", which reached number two on the U.S. Latin chart, "¿Dónde Estás Corazón?" which reached number five on the U.S. Latin chart, "Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos" which reached number 11 on the U.S. Latin chart, "Un Poco de Amor" which reached number six on the U.S. Latin chart, "Antología" which reached number 15 on the U.S. Latin chart, and "Se Quiere, Se Mata" which reached number eight on the U.S. Latin chart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-35 Pies Descalzos achieved top ranking in eight countries, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 and in August 1996 RIAA certified the album platinum status in the U.S. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-36

Of the eleven songs on Pies Descalzos album, all list Shakira as the first author and Luis F. Ochoa as the second one; the same is true regarding the twelve tracks on The Remixes.

In October 1995, Shakira commenced her first international tour, named simply Tour Pies Descalzos. The tour consisted of 112 shows and went on for two years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 Among Shakira's remarkable recorded stage performances of that era are the initial 6 October 1995 Concierto de Lanzamiento de Pies Descalzos in Bogota, Colombia, the 22 November 1996 Tour Pies Descalzos concert at Mexico City's Auditorio Nacional attended by 10,000 spectators, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-37 and the 1997 Viña del Mar International Song Festival concert in Chile. Ochoa was responsible for musical and artistic production during the tour, with Shakira's co-production. Besides singing, dancing and speaking to the assembled (she values communications very highly and has said that her most important treasure is "words"), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Artisty-34 Shakira played the guitar and, prominently at that time, harmonica. Shakira's singing and movements reflected an "angry-young-woman-rock attitude", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Gale-26 enthusiastically applauded by her audiences. "Vuelve" was the opening rock anthem salvo at concerts of the tour.

In 1997, Shakira received three Billboard Latin Music Awards for Album of the Year for Pies Descalzos, Video of the Year for "Estoy Aqui", and Best New Artist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-38 Pies Descalzos eventually sold over 5 million copies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-39 Its success prompted the release of a remix album titled The Remixes, of which over one million were sold. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ticket4-you1-40 The Remixes also included Portuguese language versions of "Estoy Aquí", "Un Poco de Amor" and "Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos", which were recorded as a result of Shakira's success in the Brazilian market, where Pies Descalzos sold nearly one million copies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Gale-26 Even before becoming fluent in English, Shakira learned Portuguese and was able to converse with her hosts on her visits to Brazil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Crossover-41 At 19, Shakira was the best-selling female pop rocker in Latin America. She was named a national cultural ambassador by the president of Colombia, a distinction she shares with the writer Gabriel García Márquez. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Crossover-41

Her fourth studio album was titled Dónde Están los Ladrones? It was recorded at the Miami studio of Gloria and Emilio Estefan, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Gale-26 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Crossover-41 produced by Shakira with Emilio Estefan as the executive producer, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Driven_Shakira-27 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Crossover-41 and released in September 1998. The album's name was inspired by an incident at an airport where a suitcase containing her written lyrics was stolen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Driven_Shakira-27 Dónde Están los Ladrones? became an even bigger worldwide hit than Pies Descalzos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 The album had reached a peak position of number 131 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and held the top spot on the U.S. Latin Albums chart for 11 weeks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 It has sold over 7 million copies worldwide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-42 and 1.5 million copies in the U.S. alone, making it one of the best selling Spanish albums in the U.S. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 Eight singles were taken from the album: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30 "Ciega, Sordomuda", "Moscas En La Casa", "No Creo", "Inevitable", "Tú", "Si Te Vas", "Octavo Día", and "Ojos Así". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ticket4-you1-40 "Ciega, Sordomuda" and "Tú" reached number one on the U.S. Latin chart, but it was "Ojos Así", together with its Arabic connotations and a striking video, that had become a truly global hit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 The song infused elements of Arabic pop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Patton-43 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Cobo-Hanlon-44




Of the eleven songs on Dónde Están los Ladrones?, all were created primarily by Shakira again. Music of five was co-written by Ochoa and there were other music co-authors, except for "Moscas en la Casa" and "Que Vuelvas", which were written entirely by Shakira.

In 1999, Shakira received a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Crossover-41 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-45 Her first live album, MTV Unplugged, was recorded in New York City as MTV Unplugged's first Spanish language broadcast on 12 August 1999 and released in early 2000. It also topped the Latin charts and sale statistics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 Highly acclaimed by American critics, it is rated as one of her best live performances. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-46 (There is, however, a Sony Pictures DVD titled SHAKIRA – TOUR PIES DESCALZOS. It depicts Shakira's 1997 Festival Viña del Mar concert, also one of her finest moments.) In March 2000, Shakira embarked on her Tour Anfibio, a two-month tour of Latin America and the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30 In August 2000, she won an MTV Video Music Award in the category of People's Choice – Favorite International Artist for "Ojos Así". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30 In September 2000, Shakira performed "Ojos Así" at the inaugural ceremony of the Latin Grammy Awards, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 where she was nominated in five categories: Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for MTV Unplugged, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for "Octavo Día", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Ojos Así", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 and Best Short Form Music Video for the "Ojos Así" video. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-47 MTV Unplugged became there the first in a series of albums that have earned Shakira an album Grammy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiralatingrammypersonbillboard-48

Dónde Están los Ladrones? was a very effective presentation of Shakira's strong-willed persona and her self-analysis; it enhanced her already tremendous popularity with her female fans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31

2001–2004:�
Upon the success of Dónde Están los Ladrones? and MTV Unplugged, Shakira began working on an English crossover album. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Crossover-41 Her manager, Emilio Estefan, took an early notice of Shakira's unprecedented, among Latin American artists, potential for a "crossover" into the enormous U.S. music market because of her "universally catchy pop-rock melodies, cerebral lyrics, unwavering self-determination and natural sex appeal". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Crossover-41 Shakira's English language skills were improved with the help of Gloria Estefan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Gale-26 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-49 As Latin music sales were growing in the U.S. at twice the total industry rate, Tommy Mottola, head of Sony Music, referred to Shakira as an "absolutely brilliant artist" and predicted Latin music to be the global reservoir of talent in the future. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Crossover-41

Shakira worked for over a year on new material for the album. "Whenever, Wherever", called "Suerte" in the simultaneously published Spanish language version, was released at the end of August 2001 as the first and lead single from her first album intended for English-speaking audience and fifth studio album. The song took heavy influence from Andean music, including the charango and panpipes in its instrumentation. It became an international success by reaching number one in most countries. In the U.S., it reached number six on the Hot 100.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31

Shakira's new album, titled Laundry Service in English-speaking countries and Servicio de Lavanderia in Latin America and Spain, was released on 13 November 2001. Servicio de Lavanderia features the same songs, arranged in different order. Nine out of thirteen tracks Shakira sings in English. The album debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 selling over 200,000 records in its first week. It was later certified triple platinum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-50 It had established, for the most part, Shakira's musical presence in the mainstream North American market. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30 "Underneath Your Clothes", "Objection (Tango)", "The One", "Te Dejo Madrid", "Que Me Quedes Tú", and "Poem to a Horse" were other Laundry Service songs issued as singles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30

The rock and Spanish dance-influenced album, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30 created for the English-language market, gained mild critical success, with some critics claiming that Shakira's English skills were too weak for her to write songs in that language. Rolling Stone, for one, stated that "she sounds downright silly" or "Shakira's magic is lost in translation". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-LechnerLaundryService-51 A similar view was expressed by Elizabeth Mendez Berry in Vibe: "While her Spanish-language albums sparkled with elegant wordplay, this record is rife with cliches, both musically and lyrically. [...] For Anglophone Latin lovers, Shakira's lyrics are best left to the imagination." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-52 Despite such critique, Laundry Service became the best-selling album of 2002, selling eventually more than 15 million copies worldwide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-53 It became the most successful album in Shakira's career to date and she was considered the biggest Latin female crossover artist in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Artisty-34 In Chicago Tribune, journalist Joshua Klein, while not uncritical of aspects of Shakira's stagecraft as displayed at the United Center in January 2003, characterized her "international ascent" as "as multilateral, multicultural and cooperative as they come. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-chicago-54 Klein wrote of Shakira who dyed her dark hair blond, "enlisted Gloria Estefan's husband to help her with her crossover mission", and produced a "so resolutely middle-of-the-road" current batch of music. According to him, the singer emphasized theatrics over artistic integrity and craft, but she also "dedicated much of her set to her Spanish songs", "briefly played politics" and "played up her place as a girl-power icon". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-chicago-54 Shakira released four songs for Pepsi for her promotion in the English markets: "Ask for More", "Pide Más", "Knock on My Door", and "Pídeme el Sol".

In 2002, at Aerosmith's MTV Icon in April 2002, Shakira performed "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)". Also in 2002, she joined Cher, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Mary J. Blige, Anastacia, and the Dixie Chicks for VH1 Divas Live Las Vegas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ticket4-you1-40 In August, she performed "Objection (Tango)" at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, and won the International Viewer's Choice Award with "Suerte / Whenever, Wherever". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ticket4-you1-40 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-55 She also won the Latin Grammy Award for the category of Best Short Form Music Video for the Spanish version of the video. In October, she won five MTV Video Music Awards Latin America for Best Female Artist, Best Pop Artist, Best Artist – North (Region), Video of the Year (for "Suerte"), and Artist of the Year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ticket4-you1-40 In November 2002, she embarked on the Tour of the Mongoose and 61 shows took place by May 2003. The tour was also her first worldwide tour, as legs were played in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. In 2002, Shakira's label Sony Music Entertainment released her Spanish greatest-hits compilation, Grandes Éxitos. A DVD and 10-track live album, named Live & Off the Record, was released in 2004, and three million sets were sold worldwide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-SS_Music-30 It commemorated the Tour of the Mongoose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ticket4-you1-40

Shakira's twelfth studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, was released on 22 March 2024 through Sony Music Latin. According to a Billboard reviewer, the "Colombian hitmaker" is "vulnerable and raw" in "her most personal LP to date". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-149 Speaking of her first studio album in nearly seven years, after El Dorado (2017), Shakira called the creative process "alchemical" and that it turned her "tears into diamonds" and her "vulnerability into strength". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-150 The album received generally positive reviews from music critics. Variety writes of the singer who "solidified herself as a pillar of international pop stardom", "fully invests in these cross-genre marvels" and "makes a grand re-entrance into society after what she's openly called the 'darkest hours' of her life". Shakira "rejoices in the experimentation and liberation of the new school she helped build". According to a Clash writer, she "effortlessly turns pain into art", "combining latin, rock and hip-hop". Shakira's new album is "revelatory, raw but resplendent throughout"; it is a "fitting testimony to her strength and resilience". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-MujeresReviews-143 Rolling Stone noted that "in a crowded Latin music landscape, the international pop icon's first album in 7 years reaffirms her relevance and dominance". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-151 The New York Times wrote that the record continues Shakira's "career-long penchant for pulling together music and collaborators from across the Americas, dipping into rock, electro-pop, trap, Dominican bachata, Nigerian-style Afrobeats and regional Mexican cumbia and polka". "The she-wolf is all over this album. The she-wolf is what helped me rebuild myself", Shakira told the reporter, referring to the important symbolic concept of hers that goes back to the song of that name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-NYTParelesShakira-144 Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran debuted at number 13 on the U.S. Billboard 200, with 34,000 album-equivalent units sold during its first week. It debuted atop the Top Latin Albums and Latin Pop Albums charts, making Shakira the first woman with number one albums across four decades on the Billboard Latin album charts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-152 It was certified seven-times platinum (atin) upon release. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-153

"Puntería" with Cardi B was released as the eighth single in tandem with the album. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-154 It reached number one on the Latin Airplay chart and topped the Latin Pop Airplay chart for nine weeks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-latairplay-155 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-156 (Entre Paréntesis) with regional Mexican band Grupo Frontera was issued as the ninth and final single from the record, on 25 March. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-157 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-158 The song reached the summit of the Latin Airplay and Regional Mexican Airplay charts, extending Shakira's record as the woman with the most leaders on the former chart (23) and earning her first chart-topper on the latter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-159 On 26 March, the day after she appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Shakira conducted a free pop-up concert in New York's Times Square.

yeah. some people that come to this board might agree with you.. some people are indeed looking for a poster to say "sober is better". they just can't have drugs in their lives and more, and would love to be like you...

however, the average poster on this board probably has some drugs they still use. they are probably in a place where it makes their lives easier, and they aren't really harming themselves, so they are pretty happy... a lot of the posters have a history of abuse and are getting to a point where they are living healthier and working jobs they like and stuff... so i mean, people manage to live positive lives with drugs, and that's some of the posters on this site.. i don't think you are going to start any type of drug free revolution through this board or anything... you probably won't actually change any of the posters here's minds if this is a real poster... idk.. people are obviously having troube taking this seriously... i'm sure you could think of some scientific reasons as to why to stay drug free too.. maybe you could find some younger people or people struggling with drugs on reddit to influence... the usual poster on this site is not going to care what you have to say... as a matter of fact you're just going to bring out the "i love drugs. fuck you" response in some people.
Make all drugs legal or make all drugs illegal. This is what I am saying. How come I have to tell everyone alcohol is drugs? It should be common knowledge.

2024–present: Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour�
On 12 April 2024, at Coachella Festival in California, Shakira joined Bizarrap onstage, to give, at his invitation, a surprise guest performance during his set. She sang their collaborations "La Fuerte" and "Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53". She announced there the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, her first tour in over six years, in support of the album. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-161 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-162 By the fall, a variety of Latin ticket sales and concert records had been broken. Many large-venue shows across Latin America were quickly sold out. A number of new ones were added, especially in Mexico, where there were timing possibilities at the end of the Latin leg of the tour. Shakira expected the tour to be the greatest in her career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ticketsales-163 Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour was planned to begin in North America, but its U.S.–Canada part, originally scheduled for November and December 2024, was rescheduled to follow, rather than precede, the Latin American leg. The demand for larger stadium venues in the U.S. was given as the reason and many of the shows were rescheduled at locations different from originally intended. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ticketsales-163 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-164 The first concert of the tour occurred on 11 February 2025 in Rio de Janeiro.

In September 2024, Shakira walked off stage mid-performance at the LIV Miami nightclub, reportedly after noticing fans filming up her dress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-165 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-166 On 25 September, she released the single "Soltera". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-167 Topping the Latin Pop Airplay chart for seven weeks and reaching number two on Latin Airplay, it tied her with Enrique Iglesias for the most number ones on the former and third-most top-tens on the latter chart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-168 Shakira received three nominations at the 25th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran and Song of the Year for "(Entre Paréntesis)". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-169 Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran has also been nominated for Best Latin Pop Album at the upcoming 67th Annual Grammy Awards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-170 Shakira will reprise her voice role as Gazelle and write a new song for Zootopia 2, to be released in November 2025. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-171

At the February 2025 Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, Shakira, in final stages of preparations for her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, received the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album. She gave a performance and dedicated the award on stage to her "brothers and sisters", immigrants in the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-172 At the Grammys she was accompanied by her sons, Milan and Sasha. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-173

To uplift women through the power of music and "empower her sisters this International Women's Day (8 March) and beyond", Shakira joined forces with Hard Rock International and they announced together on 27 February 2025 a year-long partnership. She also spoke of "breaking barriers and making the world a more inclusive space where every woman feels confident being themselves". The Hard Rock Heals Foundation declared donating $250,000 to Shakira's Pies Descalzos Foundation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-HardRockShakira-174

Shakira was hospitalized with an abdominal issue that made her cancel a show in Peru. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-175 She recovered and performed the following night, 17 February, in Lima. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-176 The concert scheduled for 24 February in Medellín, Colombia was cancelled, due to safety concerns over a faulty stage roof. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-177 As the string of tour disappointments continued, the show in Santiago, Chile on 2 March was called off because of stage production safety concerns. There were sold out concerts scheduled in Santiago for 2 March and 3 March, but the floor (ground) on which the 62 ton stage would be installed was found to be uneven and unstable. The missed performances are technically postponed and are due to be rescheduled. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-178 The second Santiago show also had to be cancelled. Distressed Shakira wrote an emotional letter to her fans on social media. "Ladies and gentlemen who have kept me company for more than thirty years" – she invoked her followers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-179


Music influences and styles�
Led Zeppelin, one of Shakira's influences early in her career

In her early youth, Shakira was influenced by rock music, listening heavily to such bands as Led Zeppelin, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-PoetPrincess-180 Metallica, Nirvana, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraSurfs-181 The Beatles, the Police, and The Cure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182 "I was so in love with that rock sound" – she said. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182 Her other influences included Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette, Marc Anthony, and Van Morrison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-183 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-184 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Soundtrack-185 She cited Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" as the song that "kick started her passion for music". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Soundtrack-185

Shakira's orthodox rock skills were on display most prominently during her original Tour Pies Descalzos. Its 112 shows lasted for two years, from October 1995 to October 1997 (for example, the Viña del Mar 1997 concert in Chile). Then during Tour Anfibio (2000), and then again, in different rock renditions, during the Tour of the Mongoose (2002–2003), of which the Rotterdam concert was published as the Live & off the Record record set.

Shakira's earlier albums, Pies Descalzos and Dónde Están los Ladrones?, are primarily rock with elements of folk music. With her first mostly-English album, Laundry Service, and later works, she diversified into various pop music genres, pop rock and Latin pop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-LechnerLaundryService-51 Laundry Service is a pop and rock album, impacted by other genres and styles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-backgroundtitlebillboard-186 The singer credited this to her mixed ethnicity and background, saying: "I am a fusion. That's my persona. I'm a fusion between black and white, between pop and rock, between cultures – between my Lebanese father and my mother's Spanish blood, the Colombian folklore and Arab dance I love and American music." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182

The Arabic music and Middle Eastern music elements exerted high influence on "Ojos Así" world hit from Dónde Están los Ladrones?. Its English version "Eyes Like Yours" was included on Laundry Service. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-reviewallmusic-187 Musical styles from different South American countries surface on the album. Tango, a style of fast-paced ballroom dance that originated in Argentina, Shakira sings in its rock version, "Objection (Tango)". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-backgroundtitlebillboard-186 The uptempo track features a guitar solo and a bridge in which Shakira delivers "a genuinely peculiar rap". The Guardian reviewer Alexis Petridis marvels at Shakira's lyrics: "thought-provoking lines", "bewildering lyrical iceberg" and "non sequiturs so eccentric", all rendered with an unyielding conviction by "her powerful voice leaping octaves to add emphasis". He then sarcastically observes that "sniggering media pundits have suggested Ripoll (Shakira) can't actually understand what she is singing". The rock piece "Poem to a Horse" "mixes Nirvana-influenced guitars with a soul horn section to mind-boggling effect". Petridis finds Laundry Service's "ramshackle production and imponderable lyrics" to be "striking and unique". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-reviewguardian-188

Shakira has said, "My music, I think, is a fusion of many different elements. And I'm always experimenting. So I try not to limit myself, or put myself in a category, or... be the architect of my own jail." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-UdovitchShakira-189 She has been inspired by the music of Asia, and in particular by Indian music, which influenced her works, including dancing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-190 She told Portuguese TV, "Many of my movements belong to Arab culture." Shakira cites her parents as having been major contributors to her musical style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-191 South American folk music and Andean music in particular have influenced her and she has used its native instrumentation for her songs, most notably in "Whenever, Wherever" / "Suerte", Shakira's grand anthem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-UdovitchShakira-189 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-192

She Wolf is primarily an electropop album that combines influences from musical styles of various countries and regions such as Africa, Colombia, India, and the Middle East. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-193 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-194 Shakira termed the album a "sonic experimental trip" and said she researched folk music from different countries in order to "combine electronics with world sounds, tambourines, clarinets, oriental and Hindu music, dancehall, etc." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-albumpageshakira.com-195 Her next album, Sale el Sol, is meant to be a return to her beginnings. It contains ballads, rock songs, and Latin dance songs like "Loca". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-196 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-197 In 2017, Deutsche Welle's journalist Kate Müser commented on Shakira's "globalized sound": "[her] Latin beats, spiced with Middle Eastern and other world elements and made comfortably familiar by being churned through the pop machine, make you feel like a citizen of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-198

Dance and stage appearance�
Shakira is well known for dancing in her music videos and concerts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 Her distinctive dancing style is said to combine Latin dancing with Middle Eastern belly dance, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-200 which is derived from her Lebanese heritage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 Her hip shaking is mentioned, for example, in Fifth Harmony's "Brave Honest Beautiful" song. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-201 Shakira is noted for usually employing minimal production, taking to the stage with little makeup and, until and including the El Dorado World Tour, without background dancers in her performances. She prefers to focus on her vocals, dance moves, and stage presence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-HerCampus-202 Shakira greatly enjoys performing before large gatherings, but feels uncomfortable when the number of spectators is small. "The stage and crowd and lights and applause of the people dress me. Once you take that away and you're there with your voice—it's such a private, intimate act, the one of singing and exposing your soul." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-PoetPrincess-180 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraSurfs-181 Beginning in her twenties, she dyed her black hair blond and often performed barefoot, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraSurfs-181 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-HerCampus-202 a form of dance she learned as a young teen to overcome her shyness. She mentioned in an MTV interview that she learned how to belly dance by trying to flip a coin with her belly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 For her light-dyed hair (on account of which she has been called a "sellout"), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182 she gave an interviewer the following explanation: "But it wasn't a calculated move. It wasn't like, Oh, I want to reach the American audience—let me be blonde and let me get a pair of blue contact lenses and bleach my skin. I didn't want to be white. I just thought my curls looked cool with a blonde, beachy style". "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraSurfs-181 Between Shakira's MTV Unplugged (1999) and Roseland Ballroom (2001) Manhattan shows, her stage appearance and style changed dramatically.

Singing�
Shakira is a contralto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-203 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-204 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-205 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-206 and is known for her "unique and mesmerizing" singing voice, which includes her "trademark" yodeling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-:0-207 Ted Kessler of The Observer described her as having "the range of an operatic diva". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-208

Petridis finds Laundry Service's "ramshackle production and imponderable lyrics" to be "striking and unique" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-reviewguardian-188

Shakira has said, "My music, I think, is a fusion of many different elements. And I'm always experimenting. So I try not to limit myself, or put myself in a category, or... be the architect of my own jail." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-UdovitchShakira-189 She has been inspired by the music of Asia, and in particular by Indian music, which influenced her works, including dancing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-190 She told Portuguese TV, "Many of my movements belong to Arab culture." Shakira cites her parents as having been major contributors to her musical style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-191 South American folk music and Andean music in particular have influenced her and she has used its native instrumentation for her songs, most notably in "Whenever, Wherever" / "Suerte", Shakira's grand anthem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-UdovitchShakira-189 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-192

She Wolf is primarily an electropop album that combines influences from musical styles of various countries and regions such as Africa, Colombia, India, and the Middle East. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-193 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-194 Shakira termed the album a "sonic experimental trip" and said she researched folk music from different countries in order to "combine electronics with world sounds, tambourines, clarinets, oriental and Hindu music, dancehall, etc." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-albumpageshakira.com-195 Her next album, Sale el Sol, is meant to be a return to her beginnings. It contains ballads, rock songs, and Latin dance songs like "Loca". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-196 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-197 In 2017, Deutsche Welle's journalist Kate Müser commented on Shakira's "globalized sound": "[her] Latin beats, spiced with Middle Eastern and other world elements and made comfortably familiar by being churned through the pop machine, make you feel like a citizen of the world." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-198

Dance and stage appearance�
Shakira is well known for dancing in her music videos and concerts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 Her distinctive dancing style is said to combine Latin dancing with Middle Eastern belly dance, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-200 which is derived from her Lebanese heritage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 Her hip shaking is mentioned, for example, in Fifth Harmony's "Brave Honest Beautiful" song. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-201 Shakira is noted for usually employing minimal production, taking to the stage with little makeup and, until and including the El Dorado World Tour, without background dancers in her performances. She prefers to focus on her vocals, dance moves, and stage presence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-HerCampus-202 Shakira greatly enjoys performing before large gatherings, but feels uncomfortable when the number of spectators is small. "The stage and crowd and lights and applause of the people dress me. Once you take that away and you're there with your voice—it's such a private, intimate act, the one of singing and exposing your soul." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-PoetPrincess-180 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraSurfs-181 Beginning in her twenties, she dyed her black hair blond and often performed barefoot, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraSurfs-181 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-HerCampus-202 a form of dance she learned as a young teen to overcome her shyness. She mentioned in an MTV interview that she learned how to belly dance by trying to flip a coin with her belly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 For her light-dyed hair (on account of which she has been called a "sellout"), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182 she gave an interviewer the following explanation: "But it wasn't a calculated move. It wasn't like, Oh, I want to reach the American audience—let me be blonde and let me get a pair of blue contact lenses and bleach my skin. I didn't want to be white. I just thought my curls looked cool with a blonde, beachy style". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraSurfs-181 Between Shakira's MTV Unplugged (1999) and Roseland Ballroom (2001) Manhattan shows, her stage appearance and style changed dramatically.
