Few pop stars have quite as colorful a background as Shakira, the Colombian-born, half-Lebanese hip-shaking international phenomenon. While growing up in Barranquilla, Colombia, music and poetry were constants in Shakira's life, and she penned one of her first songs after her brother's tragic death in a car crash. By the age of 14, Shakira had a three-record deal with Sony Colombia. After failing to achieve more than limited local success with her first two records, Shakira completed high school and didn't return to the recording studio until 1995. Taking time to mature proved to be the right decision, as Shakira's third Spanish-language disc, Pies Descalzos, made her a household name throughout Latin America. The album featured a heavier sound and a more confessional, less generic persona for the developing songstress. Her 1998 follow up, Donde Estan Los Ladrones? gave her fans eight top-10 singles (out of 11 tracks!) But Shakira was hungry for more nothing short of world domination would satisfy the petite popstress. Her English language debut, Laundry Service made Shakira the hottest Colombian export since coffee beans. A calculated shot at crossover bliss, Laundry Service was a collaboration with Gloria Estefan and featured the smash single "Whenever, Wherever." Accompanied by a sexy video of Shakira in full belly dancer regalia shaking it for all she's worth, the addictive single incorporated elements of traditional Latin American and Middle Eastern music for a frantic dance mash-up. Confessional ballads and two Spanish tracks rounded out a pleasantly mixed album. Shakira's latest follow up, Oral Fixation Vol. 2, unleashed another mercilessly catchy single with the summer's genre-bending Wyclef Jean collaboration "Hips Don't Lie." With another wink at international pop unity, Shakira hired star Bollywood choreographer Farah Khan to choreograph her dance moves.
