shakira_150.jpgName: Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll

Age: born February 2, 1977

Occupation: Singer

Place of Residence: Miami and Colombia

Why she's influential: She's got non-Spanish speakers everywhere singing in la lengua de Cervantes, she's helping (along with others) put Colombia on the musical map in the minds of non-Latinos, and we all want to know everything about her life. Her romances, her lovers' quarrels, whatever...Shakira sneezes and it's an international headline.
