The album went on to sell seven million copies worldwide, gave Shakira her first US single chart entry and won her a Latin Grammy for “Octavao Día” and “Ojas Así”. “Dónde Están los Ladrones?” was co-produced with Emilio Estefan, Jr and was released in September 1998. To capitalise on her success, Shakira embarked on her first international tour in early 1996 to promote the album before returning to the studio to record the follow-up. Recorded in Spanish, the album and subsequent singles dominated the Latin American charts both in South America and in the USA. It went on to sell five million copies and achieve platinum status. Containing the hit song “❽ónde Estás Corazón?”, originally recorded for a Colombian compilation album, the album was only expected to sell 100,000 copies. “Pies Descalzos” was the first album that Shakira produced as well as wrote and sang for. Her next venture into the music world was very much different. Shakira put music side to complete her high school education and graduated before turning her hand at acting, appearing in the Colombian TV Series, “The Oasis”. Although it sold better than its predecessor did, it still didn’t do as well as everyone hoped. The album did not fare well commercially although Sony still had faith in her and persuaded her to record a follow-up album. At the age of just 13, Shakira recorded her first album, “Magia” which contained a collection of songs she had written. Sony was suitably impressed and signed the young singer to a local label.
She began singing locally around her hometown of Barranquilla and caught the eye of a local theatre producer, Monica Ariza who convinced a Sony Records executive to listen to a recording of Shakira singing. An early performer, particularly of dance, Shakira also had a talent for writing poetry, which ultimately led her to writing songs, something she still does to this day. Shakira was born in Colombia in February 1977 and owes her exotic looks to her Lebanese, Spanish and Italian heritage.
