Shakira
Shakira was born in Barranquilla, Colombia to
a mother of Catalán and Italian descent and an American-born
father of Lebanese background. Shakira began writing and composing
music at the age of eight. One of the first songs she wrote
was called "Tus Gafas Oscuras", whose lyrical message
revolved around her father and his grief over a son who had
died due to a car accident. At the age of ten, Shakira applied
for her school choir, but she was rejected because her voice
had been noted as "too strong." Friends teased her
by saying she sounded like a goat. Shakira started looking for
other singing opportunities, and competed in a weekly television
singing competition for children, Vivan Los Niños.
Fijación Oral Vol. 1 was released on June
6, 2005 in Europe and on June 7, 2005 in North America and Australia.
The lead single "La Tortura" (English: The Torture,
featuring Alejandro Sanz) eventually reached number twenty-three
on on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, the highest position for a
Spanish song in the United States. In Canada, "La Tortura"
also became the highest-charting Spanish song when it debuted
and peaked at number twenty-one. Its success across the rest
of the world was widespread and it managed to peak within the
top ten of the majority of the charts it entered. In the U.S.,
"La Tortura" spent a still-record twenty-five weeks
at number one on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart, and it
became the most successful Latin single ever.
Fijación Oral Vol. 1 was simultaneously
released in Latin America. It debuted at number four on the
U.S. Billboard 200 and is currently the best-selling Spanish
first-week sales album. It was also well-received in non-Spanish
speaking countries such as Italy and Germany, where it reached
number one, Austria, where it reached number three, and Canada
and Hungary, where it reached number seven. The second single
from Fijación Oral Vol. 1, "No" (English: No),
was released in September 2005. It failed to match the international
chart success of "La Tortura", although it peaked
at number one in Colombia for fourteen non-consecutive weeks.
On October 30, 2005 at the Hackney Empire in Hackney,
East London, England, Shakira presented her new album Oral Fixation
Vol. 2 to more than two hundred and fifty competition winners
and selected members of the British press. The concert was hosted
by MTV and was featured in the MTV 5 Star campaign following
her performance. Shakira is one of the first artists to be featured
for the campaign.
Shakira's second English album Oral Fixation Vol.
2 was released on November 29, 2005 in North America and Australia,
and also at this time in Continental Europe. "Don't Bother"
has been well-received by music-critics as the album's lead
single, but failed to peak within the U.S. top forty. On February
8, 2006, Shakira won a Grammy Award in the category of "Best
Latin Rock Album" for Fijación Oral Vol. 1.
"Hips Don't Lie" (featuring Wyclef Jean),
was released in 2006 as the second single from Oral Fixation
Vol. 2. On March 28, 2006, she re-released Oral Fixation Vol.
