Book Description

July 31, 2001
Hace años que los entendidos venían pronosticando el exitoso crossover de Shakira. La cantante firmó su primer contrato discográfico a los trece años, grabó su segundo álbum a los quince y actuó en una telenovela popular en su Colombia natal. Tenía solamente diecinueve años cuando su tercer álbum, Pies descalzos, la convirtió en la artista de mayor venta en Latinoamérica. Si bien su siguiente álbum, Dónde están los ladrones?, ganó ocho discos de platino en Estados Unidos, no fue hasta su actuación electrizante en la primera entrega de los Premios Grammy Latinos que llamó la atención de todo el país.

Aunque el éxito le llegó a una edad tan temprana, a los veinticuatro años Shakira tiene los pies firmes sobre la tierra y rechaza los estereotipos que rodean a las estrellas de rock. Ella es una católica devota, vive con sus padres y cuando no está grabando o de gira prefiere pasar el tiempo con su familia. Esta rockera es una de las pocas estrellas que combinan talento, carisma y sensibilidad, y que además saben muy bien lo que quieren.

Para la cantante más fascinante de América Latina desde Ricky Martin, las posibilidades son ilimitadas. Para los millones de personas que ya compran sus discos, Shakira representa la voz de la nueva generación.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Written by StarMedia.com entertainment editor Diego, this unauthorized biography is a useful primer for those who have been intrigued by the beautiful Latina rocker. The subtitle refers to the Arabic meaning of Shakira's name, and Diego tells the story of how Shakira's New York-born father of Lebanese descent served as her first muse. Her mother, a constant companion, is her most devoted fan, as well as her manager. The book also tells us what most Shakira fans know that she was a prodigious child who composed her first songs while still in grammar school. But this biography will leave diehard Shakira fans disappointed. Its style is simple and timid unlike the subject, who is complex, driven, talented, sassy, and wise beyond her 24 years. Relying on published newspaper, magazine, and tabloid press accounts, the author sheds little new light on the woman who wooed Latin America with her politically conscious and soulful compositions on the hit albums Pies descalzos (Barefoot) and Donde est n los ladrones? (Where Are the Theives?). Still, Spanish-reading teenaged Latinas in particular will get a kick out of reading this book. Two other noteworthy biographies, both titled Shakira, were published this year by Planeta and Grijalbo. Recommended for public libraries and bookstores. [The English translation, Shakira: Woman Full of Grace, is also available from Fireside (ISBN 0-7432-1623-7). Ed.] Sandra Guzman, New Yor.

Review

Ernesto Lechner Interview Thanks to her memorable hooks, gorgeous looks, and impromptu belly-dancing sessions, Shakira is currently the most popular Latin female singer in all of the Americas.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a role model!, January 29, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Shakira: Woman Full of Grace (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
I loved this book. Loved reading about the integrity and hard work and perfectionism this artists brings to her music. Shakira's the real deal. We can all learn from this kind of dignity and sense of self. What a hero -- especially in this age of inflated egos and marketing hype.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best but not that bad either..., December 5, 2001
This review is from: Shakira: Woman Full of Grace (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
As a big Shakira fan I bought this book the minute I saw it. This book is fairly good. If you are a new Shakira fan, I reacommend it. It tells the story of how this Latin Pop/Rock Icon became the huge star she's today. It tells the struggles and problems she had to overcome for reaching her goals and dreams. If you have known Shakira for a while you'll have already herad almost they say here...
