Laundry Service ~ Shakira Ricky Martin und Jennifer Lopez haben es vorgemacht. Mit der kolumbianischen Sängerin Shakira erobert nun eine weitere lateinamerikanische Künstlerin die Hitparaden. In den USA stieg ihr englischsprachiges Debüt bis auf Platz 3. Dem boomenden Genre "Rock en Español" drückte der Star aus Kolumbien... Studies: Secondary schooling in La Enseñanza de Barranquilla; professional modelaje in the Passarela Academy of that same city, and 2 years of Olympic gymnastics at Atlantic Coldeportes. "She has an amazing voice, and I met her a few weeks ago and she's such an interesting person." -- Britney Spears, on Shakira "Sometimes I feel like I'm a rock and roll artist trapped in the body of a pop artist." -- Shakira, VH1's Being: Shakira (March 4, 2002)
For Shakira, however, everything at the moment is pretty much non-stop. An overnight sensation who has been years in the making, she's possessed of obvious commercial appeal, with serious pipes, considerable talents as producer and songwriter (taking into account the rather seductive peculiarity of her English lyrics), and remarkably swiveling hips, not to mention a name that seems destined for stardom. Indeed, Madonna may be the only other first-name-only star who has come so spectacularly equipped. And while Shakira's emergence as part of the "Latin Explosion" -- along with J. Lo, Marc Anthony, Enrique Iglesias and Mr. La Vida Loca himself -- might seem at once too calculated and too predictable, well, calculation is the name of this particular game.
