Shakira

          Shakira is a Colombian singer/songwriter, dancer, record producer, choreographer, and model. She was born in Barrenquilla in Northern Columbia. She released her first studio item in the 1990s, but became famous in Latin America with her third studio album, Pies Descalzos, and her fourth album, Dónde Están Los Ladrones. Shakira later entered the English market with her fifth album, ans its lead single was "Whenever, Wherever."

     Personally, our favorite song by Shakira is "Hips Don't Lie" featuring Haitian rapper, Wyclef Jean (full Spanish version). It was released on February 28, 2006. "Hips Don't Lie" is a fast tempo song which makes it great for a party or any function you may have. It never fails to put smiles on our faces and it makes us happy inside. It's a "feel-good" type of song. It just makes you want to get up and dance! This song has African, Latin, and Carribean dance rhythms. It's super catchy and a great tune even if you don't know any Spanish.
