She was only nineteen when her third album, \u003ci\u003ePies descalzos (Barefoot), \u003c\/i\u003e made her the bestselling female rock star in Latin America. Though her fourth album, \u003ci\u003eDde est疣 los ladrones? (Where Are the Thieves?), \u003c\/i\u003e went platinum eight times in the U.S., it was her electrifying performance at the first annual Latin Grammys that captured the attention of the nation. \u003cbr\u003e Despite finding great success at such a young age, twenty-four-year-old Shakira remains remarkably balanced, confounding the usual stereotypes associated with rock stars. She is a devout Catholic, lives with her parents, and travels everywhere with them. She is one of those rare stars who combine talent, charisma, and boldness, and at the same time keep their feet firmly planted on the ground. \u003cbr\u003e For the most exciting singer-songwriter to come out of Latin America since Ricky Martin, the possibilities are endless. For the millions who already buy her albums, Shakira represents the voice of a new generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eXimena Diego\u003c\/b\u003e is the entertainment editor at Starmedia.com, the leading Internet media company targeting Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking audiences worldwide.
