**A colombian singer**

Hi everybody, today I’m going to talk about a colombian Singer, her name’s Shakira Isabel mebarak ripoll. She born

in February 2, Barranquilla Colombia in 1977.

Shakira wrote her first song entitled “tus gafas oscuras” when she was eight years old. She emerged as a musical prodigy in the music scene of Latin America in the early 1990s.

Shakira was invited to perform at Chile's Viña del Mar International Song Festival in February 1993. The festival gave aspiring Latin American singers a chance to perform their songs, and the winner was then chosen by a panel of judges.
In 1995 shakira founded the “pies descalzos” fundation. During her career, Shakira has performed at a large number of benefit concerts.

Gradually grew as an artist, spreading their musical creations arround the world. She worked with different artists, like beyonce, Miguel bose, alejandro sanz between other.

Finally I can tell you that shakira makes a lot of songs in different lenguages like english, spanish and Portuguese for example. She won a lot of premiers during her career as singer, and she participated in a lot of events related to children at risk, it’s important remember that shakira is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and is one of their global representatives.

Shakira is a one of my favourite singer, because she not only sings, she is an exellent person, she’s songwriter too, also dances, moves her hips very well, she is a integral artist.

This year Shakira collaborated with the South African group Freshlyground to perform the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa "Waka Waka ". A lot of people dancing this song in different places of the world!!!
Well classmates, if Chile win to Spain, in football play of Friday, I think that everybody have to dance “waka waka”

WAKA WAKA eh eh!! ….. because this AFRICA!(8)
Kisses for all; See you soon!!
