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.
