At the age of 15, Shakira’s first album, Magia, did not do well and less than a thousand
copies were purchased. This was mostly due to the fact that the recording and production of the album was not coordinated. However, since Shakira’s success, this album is now considered to be sought-after by many collectors. The second album, Peligro, did better, however, at this point Shakira took a break and decided to put her time into high school
and graduation. Five more albums would come through before Shakira became the star she is today. In 2001, she was back in and working on an album that was a crossover
to English. Working with Gloria Estafan, she worked on Dónde Están los Ladrones and another album, Laundry Service. Laundry Service was a hit and selling over 13 million, Shakira became a household word with her hit, “Whenever, Wherever” and “Underneath Your Clothes”.
Since Laundry Service, Shakira has put out another six more albums and continues to shine. She is noted for her belly dancing skills, which many claim it to be natural to her
as she comes from a Lebanese heritage. The fact is Shakira can dance like no other
and watching a video of her, you’ll see why she wrote the song, ”
The Latin Grammy Award winning Colombian, Shakira has decided to tie knots with her beau, Antonio De La Rua, in September this year.
The two well known figures were going around from last seven years. Shakira is a singer, musician, songwriter etc. whereas Antonio is a lawyer and the first son of the Argentine former President Fernando de la Rua, yet the two gel up very well. It is also heard that the big wedding will “be taking place at Shakira’s luxury mansion in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.”
