Shakira

Grammy-winning Colombian singer and songwriter whose Latin pop blends rock, reggaeton and Colombian folk influences. Shakira signed with Sony’s Colombian division as a teenager after moving to Bogotá in 1990. She later found international crossover success with bilingual hits such as Whenever, Wherever and Hips Don’t Lie.

Her song Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) became the theme of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, while El Dorado and Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran both won the Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album. In 2026 the star teamed up with Burna Boy on Dai Dai, the official FIFA World Cup 2026 song.
