shakira was born on February 2, 1977 in
Barranquilla, Colombia. She is the only child of Nidia Ripoll and
William Mebarak Chadid. Her paternal grandparents emigrated from Lebanon
to New York City, where her father was born. From her mother, Nidia
Ripoll, she has Spanish (Catalan and Castilian) and Italian descent. She
has eight older half-siblings from her father’s previous marriage.
Shakira spent much of her youth in Barranquilla, a city located on the
northern Caribbean coast of Colombia. Shakira wrote her first poem,
titled “La Rosa De Cristal” (“The Crystal Rose”) when she was only four
years old. As she was growing up, she was fascinated watching her father
writing stories on a typewriter, and asked for one as a Christmas gift.
She got a typewriter at the age of seven and continued writing poetry
since then. These poems eventually evolved into songs. When Shakira was
two years old, an older half-brother was killed in a motorcycle accident
and at the age of eight, Shakira wrote her first song, titled “Tus
gafas oscuras” (“Your dark glasses”), which was inspired by her father,
who for years wore dark glasses to hide his grief.
