Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll was born on 2 February 1977 in Barranquilla, on the northern Caribbean coast of Colombia. She is the only child of William Mebarak Chadid and Nidia Ripoll Torrado. Her parents have Lebanese, Catalan and Colombian ancestry, and she also has Italian ancestry through an ancestor with the surname Pisciotti. She was raised Catholic and attended Catholic schools. She has eight older half-siblings from her father's previous marriage. Shakira wrote her first poem, "La Rosa de Cristal" ("The Crystal Rose"), when she was four years old and continued writing poetry during her childhood. She later adapted some of her writing into song lyrics. When she was two, her half-brother died in a motorcycle accident at the age of 19. Six years later, after receiving a guitar from her aunt, she composed her first song, "Gafas Oscuras" ("Dark Glasses"), which was inspired by her father, who wore dark glasses during his period of grief. Shakira grew up in financially comfortable circumstances until her father, who worked as a jeweller, went bankrupt when she was eight. Her parents subsequently sent her to stay with relatives in Los Angeles for a period. When she returned, the family's financial circumstances had changed considerably. At the age of 14, after receiving money from the release of her album "Magia", she was able to buy her parents a car. When Shakira was four, her father took her to a Middle Eastern restaurant, where she heard the doumbek, a traditional Arabic drum commonly used in music accompanying belly dancing. She began dancing spontaneously and subsequently developed an interest in performing. At her Catholic school, she performed belly dancing regularly and received encouragement from teachers and fellow students. She was rejected from the school choir in second grade because, according to her music teacher, her vibrato was considered too pronounced. Classmates also made negative comments about her voice. She was sometimes removed from class because of her high activity level. Her father also took her to a local park where orphaned children lived, an experience that contributed to her later interest in charitable work. At the age of ten, she entered a local television talent competition and won the first prize, a bicycle. Between the ages of ten and thirteen, Shakira performed at various events in Barranquilla and became known locally as a singer and dancer. She met theatre producer Monica Ariza, who introduced her to Sony Music Colombia executive Ciro Vargas. After an audition in Barranquilla and a subsequent audition in Bogotá, Shakira signed a recording contract with Sony Music Colombia at the age of 13 for three albums. Shakira's debut album, "Magia", was released in June 1991 by Sony Music Colombia. Recording began in 1990 when she was 13. The album contains pop rock ballads and uptempo disco-influenced songs, with Shakira writing most of the tracks. It included the singles "Magia", "Sueños", and "Esta Noche Voy Contigo". "Magia" sold approximately 1,200 copies in Colombia and did not achieve significant commercial success. In February 1993, Shakira performed at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival in Chile, where her performance of the ballad "Eres" earned third place. Her second studio album, "Peligro", was released in March 1993. It included the singles "Tú Serás la Historia de Mi Vida", "Eres", "Peligro", and "Brujería". Shakira was dissatisfied with the album's production, and it achieved limited commercial success. In 1993-1994, she appeared in the Colombian telenovela "El Oasis", playing the character Luisa Maria. Shakira completed her secondary education at a convent school at the age of 15. Her involvement in music limited her further formal education. At Colegio La Enseñanza, where she studied, students were encouraged to assist children in poorer areas with reading and writing. Shakira later described beginning her professional career at a young age and said that she had remained highly focused on her goals during adolescence. In 1994, Shakira recorded "¿Dónde Estás Corazón?" for the compilation album "Nuestro Rock Volumen II". After the song became successful in Colombia, Sony Music Colombia proceeded with plans for her third studio album. Shakira began writing and recording the album with Luis Fernando Ochoa, who became a principal collaborator on her subsequent releases. Her third studio album, "Pies Descalzos", was released in October 1995. It reached number five on the U.S. Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. The album produced six singles: "Estoy Aquí", "¿Dónde Estás Corazón?", "Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos", "Un Poco de Amor", "Antología", and "Se Quiere, Se Mata". The first two reached the top five of the U.S. Latin chart, while all six reached its top 20. "Pies Descalzos" reached the top of the album charts in eight countries and was certified platinum by the RIAA in the United States in August 1996. It eventually sold more than five million copies worldwide. In October 1995, Shakira began the Tour Pies Descalzos, her first international concert tour, which included approximately 100 performances in Latin America, the United States and Spain over two years. In 1997, Shakira received three Billboard Latin Music Awards: Album of the Year for "Pies Descalzos", Video of the Year for "Estoy Aqui", and Best New Artist. That year, she released the remix album "The Remixes", which sold more than one million copies. At the age of 19, she was named a national cultural ambassador by the president of Colombia, sharing the distinction with writer Gabriel García Márquez. Shakira's fourth studio album, "Dónde Están los Ladrones?", was released in September 1998. It was recorded at a studio in Miami owned by Gloria and Emilio Estefan. Shakira served as artistic producer, while Emilio Estefan was credited as executive producer. The album reached number 131 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and spent 11 weeks at number one on the U.S. Latin Albums chart. It sold more than seven million copies worldwide, including approximately 1.5 million in the United States. The album produced eight singles: "Ciega, Sordomuda", "Moscas en la Casa", "No Creo", "Inevitable", "Tú", "Si Te Vas", "Octavo Día", and "Ojos Así". "Ciega, Sordomuda" and "Tú" reached number one on the U.S. Latin chart. In 1999, Shakira was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album. Her first live album, "MTV Unplugged", was recorded in New York City on 12 August 1999 and became the first Spanish-language broadcast of "MTV Unplugged". It was released in early 2000 and reached the top of the Latin album charts. In March 2000, Shakira began Tour Anfibio, a two-month concert series in Latin America and the United States. In August, she won an MTV Video Music Award in the People's Choice - Favorite International Artist category for "Ojos Así". In September, she performed "Ojos Así" at the inaugural Latin Grammy Awards ceremony, where she received five nominations. Following the success of "Dónde Están los Ladrones?" and "MTV Unplugged", Shakira began working on an English-language album intended to expand her audience in the United States and other English-speaking markets. Gloria Estefan assisted her with her English-language songwriting. "Whenever, Wherever", released simultaneously with the Spanish-language version "Suerte", became the lead single from Shakira's fifth studio album. Released in August 2001, the song incorporated elements of Andean music, including the charango and pan flute. It reached number one in several countries and number six on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Shakira's fifth studio album was released in November 2001 under the title "Laundry Service" in English-speaking countries and "Servicio de Lavanderia" in Latin America and Spain. The two editions contained the same songs in different orders, with nine of the 13 tracks performed in English on "Laundry Service". The album debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling more than 200,000 copies in its first week, and was later certified triple platinum. Other singles included "Underneath Your Clothes", "Objection (Tango)", "The One", "Te Dejo Madrid", "Que Me Quedes Tú", and "Poem to a Horse". Shakira wrote or co-wrote all of the songs, and she was credited as a producer. "Laundry Service" sold more than 15 million copies worldwide and became the best-selling album of 2002. The transition to English-language pop generated differing reactions among Shakira's followers. Some critics of the album argued that her change in musical style, appearance and language represented a departure from her earlier artistic identity. Shakira stated that the changes reflected her interest in combining different musical styles and expanding her creative freedom. In 2000, Freddy DeMann replaced Emilio Estefan as Shakira's manager and negotiated a global promotional agreement with Pepsi. Shakira subsequently released four songs for Pepsi: "Ask for More", "Pide Más", "Knock on My Door", and "Pídeme el Sol".
