She is a singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, dancer and philanthropist.  She emerged in the music scene of Columbia in the early 1990s. Shakira revealed many of her talents in school as a live performer, demonstrating her vocal ability with rock and roll, Latin and Middle Eastern influences with her own original twist on belly dancing  Shakira is a native Spanish speaker and also speaks fluent English and Portuguese and is proficient in Italian.

 

In 2001, aided by the extreme popularity of the music video for "Whenever, Wherever”, she broke through into the English-speaking world with the release of Laundry Service, which sold over 13 million copies worldwide. Four years later, Shakira released two album projects called Fijación Oral Vol. 1 and Oral Fixation Vol. 2.
