Early life
Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll was born on 2 February in Barranquilla, Colombia. She is the only child of William Mebarak Chadid and Nidia Ripoll Torrado. She is of Spanish and Lebanese descent.[8][9] Her father William was born in New York City to a family from Lebanon.
When he was five, his family moved to Colombia.[10] Her mother's side has two Spanishsurnames, Ripoll and Torrado, the former of which is Catalan and originates from four brothers who immigrated from Catalonia to coastal Colombia in the 19th century.[11] She has also stated that she has distant Italian roots through an ancestor with the surname "Pisciotti".[12] She was raised Catholic and attended Catholic schools.[13] She has eight older half-siblings from her father's previous marriage.[14] Shakira spent much of her youth in Barranquilla, a city located on the northern Caribbean coast of Colombia.
Shakira wrote her first poem, titled "La rosa de cristal" ('The Crystal Rose'), when she was only four years old.[15] As she was growing up, she was fascinated watching her father writing stories on a typewriter,[15] and asked for one as a Christmas gift.
She got that typewriter at age seven,[15] and has continued writing poetry since then. These poems eventually evolved into songs. When Shakira was two years old, her older half-brother was killed, at the age of nineteen, in a motorcycle accident; six years later, at age eight, Shakira wrote her first song, titled "Tus gafas oscuras" ('Your dark glasses'), which was inspired by her father, who for years wore dark glasses to hide his grief.[16]
When Shakira was four, her father took her to a local Middle Eastern restaurant, where Shakira first heard the doumbek, a traditional drum used in Middle-Eastern music and which typically accompanied belly dancing.[17] She started dancing on the table, and the experience made her realize that she wanted to be a performer.
She enjoyed singing for schoolmates and teachers (and even the nuns) at her Catholic school, but in second grade, she was rejected for the school choir because her vibrato was too strong. The music teacher told her that she sounded "like a goat".[17][18] At school, she was often sent out of the class because of her hyperactivity.[19] She says she had also been known as "the belly dancer girl", as she would demonstrate every Friday at school a number she had learned.[17] "That's how I discovered my passion for live performance," she says.[20][14] To instill gratitude in Shakira for her upbringing, her father took her to a local park to see orphans who lived there.
The images stayed with her, and she said to herself: "One day I'm going to help these kids when I become a famous artist."[14]
Between the ages of ten and thirteen, Shakira was invited to various events in Barranquilla and gained some recognition in the area.[21] It was at this approximate time that she met local theater producer Monica Ariza, who was impressed with her and as a result tried to help her career.
During a flight from Barranquilla to Bogotá, Ariza convinced Sony Music Colombia executive Ciro Vargas to hold an audition for Shakira in a hotel lobby. Vargas held Shakira in high regard and, returning to the Sony Music Colombia office, gave the cassette to a song and artist director. However, the director was not overly excited and thought Shakira was something of "a lost cause".
Undaunted and still convinced that Shakira had talent, Vargas set up an audition in Bogotá.

Shakira's debut album, Magia, was recorded with Sony Music Entertainment (Colombia) from , when she was only 13 years old.[23] The songs are a collection composed by her since she was eight and by others,[24] mixed pop-rockballads and disco uptempo songs with electronic accompaniment and some live musicians.

Though it fared well on Colombian radio and gave the young Shakira much exposure,[22] the album did not fare well commercially as only 1, copies were sold in Colombia.[23] After the poor performance of Magia, Shakira's label urged her to return to the studio to release a follow-up record.
Little known outside of her native Colombia at the time, Shakira was invited to perform at Chile's Viña del Mar International Song Festival in February The festival gave aspiring Latin American singers a chance to perform their songs, and the winner was then chosen by a panel of judges.
