Shakira, which means "grateful" in Arabic (شاكرة), is named after her paternal grandmother. Her father was born in Lebanon, and immediately after that, his family migrated to New York, but he soon migrated to Colombia. She was born to a Colombian mother of Catalan and Italian descent, Nidia del Carmen Ripoll Torrado, and a Lebanese father, William Mebarak Chadid, in Barranquilla, Colombia, where she says she grew up among the Lebanese and Italian communities. Shakira is half Lebanese, one quarter Spanish, and one quarter Italian. The album's massive sales came in large part thanks to the worldwide hit, "Whenever, Wherever" a dance song with unique Andean instrumentation which soon became one of the highest selling singles of the 21st century. In 2001, she broke through into the English-speaking market with the release of her first album in that language, Laundry Service, which she wrote and produced herself and which has sold 3 million copies in the United States and 13 million copies worldwide. The approach yielded two multiplatinum albums.

Little known outside her native Colombia, it wasn't until 1995 when Shakira took full creative control over her music, a fusion of rock and dance pop with both deeply personal and biting political lyrics. The death of a half sibling and her father's reaction to it inspired her to write her first full song at age eight. A child prodigy, she began writing poems and songs at age four and taught herself the guitar at age ten. She has been in the music industry since 1990, releasing her first album the following year. She has won ten Grammy awards, twelve Billboard Music Awards and has been nominated for a Golden Globe.
