The songs of the album are melodic, musically surprising and gritty, with intellectual lyrics and an electronic/acoustic blend that effectively broke the formulaic mold of Latin pop with an authentic sound that hadnt been heard before. Pies Descalzos (English: Bare Feet) was groundbreaking in the Latin pop world. When it was time to record her third album, Shakira started to produce her own music, perfect her voice and take creative control of her music. These albums were commercial failures, and soon became victims of Canon Discontinuity. She got to record two albums in her teenage years: Magia (English: Magic) and Peligro (English: Danger). The images stayed with her and she said to herself, "One day Im going to help these kids when I become a famous artist." To show her that things could be worse, her father took her to a local park where orphans were sniffing glue.
She got to return to Barranquilla, but she was shocked to find that a lot of her parents belongings had been sold. She was sent to relatives in Los Angeles. When she was 8, her father went bankrupt. Her passion for being a live performer was ignited. Here, she heard the doumbek, and started dancing to an enthusiastic crowd. Hailing from Barranquilla, Colombia, her Lebanese father took her to a Middle Eastern restaurant when she was 4. Known for her belly dancing, her multiculturalism, and her Alanis Morissette-like voice, Shakira is a she-wolf to be reckoned with.
She is of Lebanese, Catalan, Spanish and Italian descent. Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll (born Februin Barranquilla, Colombia) is a Colombian singer and dancer who is the highest-selling Colombian artist of all time and the second most successful female Latin singer of all time (after Gloria Estefan), having sold over 50 million albums worldwide.
