Shakira is one of the most iconic singers and dancers in Latin America. Born on January 2, 1977 in Barranquilla, Colombia, with a career spanning more than three decades, the Colombian celebrates her 44th birthday today.
It is known that from a very young age, Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll received one religious education in a catholic school, Where he already showed his artistic talents singing in the choir. However, at that time he did not have a good experience in music, so having to resort to poetry.
Shakira went from poems to songs
In an interview with the program 60 minutes performed last year, the businesswoman also revealed that she still enjoyed singing in her heart, his teacher never gave him a chance to come in because he didn’t like how he sang. In fact, his classmates told him that “It sounded like a goat”.
“He thought it was too much, i thought my vibrato was too loud and that it would break the harmony and unity of the heart. My classmates told me that it sounded like a goat because my vibrato was very pronounced, but now it is one of my hallmarks as a singer“, He said.
Far from giving up and letting criticism affect him, the comments had the opposite effect, as they gave him the energy he needed to prove that it was worth listening to. It was then that he demonstrated his talent for writing through poems, which would later become songs.
