Born and raised in Barranquilla, She made her recording debut with Sony Music Colombia at the age of 13. Following the commercial failure of her first two albums, Magia (1991) and Peligro (1993), she rose to prominence in Hispanic countries with her next albums, Pies Descalzos (1995) and Dónde Están los Ladrones? (1998). She entered the English-language market with her fifth album, Laundry Service (2001), which sold over 13 million copies worldwide. Buoyed by the international success of her singles "Whenever, Wherever" and "Underneath Your Clothes", the album propelled her reputation as a leading crossover artist. Broadcast Music, Inc., described Shakira as a "pioneer" who extended the global reach of Latino singers.
Her success was further solidified with the Spanish albums Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 (2005), Sale el Sol (2010) and El Dorado (2017), all of which topped the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart and were certified diamond (Latin) by the Recording Industry Association of America.

She served as a coach on two seasons of the American singing competition television series The Voice (2013–2014).
With a catalog of 145 songs, Shakira has sold over 80 million records, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Forbes Colombia reported that as of 2018, she is the top-selling female Latin artist of all time. She is credited with opening the doors of the international market for other Latin artists. She has received numerous awards, including three Grammy Awards, twelve Latin Grammy Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, thirty-nine Billboard Latin Music Awards, twenty-one Guinness World Records and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She was named the Top Female Latin Artist of the Decade by Billboard twice (2000s and 2010s). For her philanthropic work with her Barefoot Foundation and her contributions to music she received the Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year and Harvard Foundation Artist of the Year awards in 2011.

Hips Don't Lie-Bamboo
Shakira Lyrics
Bamboo (Bamboo)
Bem ba lali laluway (bem ba lali laluway)
Ah luway lo luway lo (ah luway lo luway lo)
Ley la ley lam la la lo (ley la ley lam la la lo)
Bamboo (Bamboo)
Bem ba lali laluway (bem ba lali laluway)
Ah luway lo luway lo (ah luway lo luway lo)
Ley la ley lam la la lo (ley la ley lam la la lo)
Attraction, attention
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She make a man want to speak Spanish
¿Cómo se llama? (Sí), bonita (sí)
Mi casa, su casa (Shakira, Shakira)
Oh, baby, when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise (sí) and keep on (sí)
Reading the signs of my body (uno, dos, tres, cuatro)
I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
Ay, ay, ay, do the Bamboo
La Gloria te está esperando
Latino
Africano
Asiático, Americano
Tu Dios te está mirando
Bamboo (Bamboo)
Bem ba lali laluway (bem ba lali laluway)
Ah luway lo luway lo (ah luway lo luway lo)
Ley la ley lam la la lo (ley la ley lam la la lo)
No fighting tonight
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She make a man want to speak Spanish
¿Cómo se llama? (Sí), bonita (sí)
Mi casa, su casa (Shakira, Shakira)
Oh, baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise (sí) and keep on (sí)
Reading the signs of my body (no fighting, no fighting)
I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie (no fighting, no fighting)
And I'm starting to feel ya boy
Ay, ay, ay, do the Bamboo
La Gloria te está esperando
They know I'm on tonight
My hips don't lie and I'm starting to feel it's right
Come on let's go, let's go
Tu Dios te está mirando
Baila en la calle
De noche, baila en la calle (yeah, let's go)
De día, baila en la calle
De noche, juega en la calle, de día
People in the front, don't fight tonight
People in the side, don't fight tonight
People in the back, don't fight tonight
Don't fight tonight, don't fight tonight
Let's go
I'm a student of Pelé, call me Pelé player
Eleven on the field with the heart of a gladiator
One goal, two goal, three goal, four
I'ma play 'til my knees fall off
One goal, two goal, three goal, four
Everybody in the final state go
And my football jersey says Maradona
The crowd chant sounds like spirits from Africa
Bamboo (Bamboo) Come on
Bem ba lali laluway (bem ba lali laluway)
Ah luway lo luway lo (ah luway lo luway lo)
Ley la ley lam la la lo (ley la ley lam la la lo) Come on

Still probably one of the best official World Cup songs of all time.
@raymadein6969
Mess when you remember it was not even the anthem that year, queen-of-delivering-the-best-and-catchiest-bops-Kira.
It was so huge they asked her to perform it at the finale.
@feliperiveraperea1259

@aplastando
+Ray Madein you right. The song was so huge that they asked her to make a version for the cup.
@tomascastaneda9932
