Shakira

Tantalizing belly shaking that almost simulates an epileptic episode coupled with an arresting-androgynously sounding voice, Shakira is a certified outstanding performer with her ten Grammy’s, fourteen Billboard Music Awards, and four World Music Awards. Born on February 2, 1977 in the exotic town of Barranquilla, Colombia, Shakira has been one of the major icons in the pop music industry of Latin America since the mid-1990’s. She was able to conquer the English-speaking market with the release of her first English album, Laundry Service, which has sold a whopping fifteen million copies across the globe. Her sizzling Latina appeal oozes in every music video she makes, which is highly responsible for her being the highest selling Colombian artist of all time, having been able to sell a staggering number of fifty million albums worldwide. To top these all off, Shakira was considered as the only artist from the land of Colombia to have reached the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart.
