Shakira Biography :

Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll (born February 2, 1977), known simply as Shakira, is a two-time Grammy Award and eight-time Latin Grammy Award-winning Colombian singer-songwriter, musician and record producer who has been a major figure in the pop music scene of Latin America since the mid-1990s. In 2001, she broke through into the English-speaking market with the release of her first album in that language, Laundry Service, which has sold over 3.5 million copies in the United States and 15 million copies worldwide. Shakira has the honor of being the highest selling Colombian artist of all time, having sold almost forty million copies of her albums, and the only artist from that country to reach the number-one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart.

In 2000, Shakira started dating Antonio de la Rua, the son of then president of Argentina Fernando de la Rua, a romance that made headline news throughout Latin America. In March of 2001, he proposed to her. During Fernando De la Rua's presidency, the economy of Argentina collapsed, leading to the subsequently violent December 2001 riots; in response to the turmoil, Tower Records decided to no longer sell Shakira's albums in Argentina as Antonio was directly involved in the management of his father's administration. De la Rua and Shakira remain engaged, with future plans to marry.
