+++Shakira(夏奇拉) ---- 1977年2月2日出生于哥伦比亚，本名Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll，现年28岁的Shakira，是个既能创作、演唱又能制作，并兼具性感热情及优雅特质的全能艺人。
1996年，夏奇拉发表了首张拉丁专辑《Pies Descalzos》，打破了拉丁流行音乐既有的模式，赋予乐界从未有过的真实声音，将拉丁流行音乐带往更高、更宽广的境界领域。98年发行的《Donde Estan Los Ladrones》专辑使夏奇拉赢得了当年度拉丁格莱美奖“最佳流行女歌手”及“最佳摇滚女歌手”两大头衔，并在世界音乐奖中荣获“年度拉丁女艺人”称号。2000年的《MTV Unplugged》作品问世，在当年的格莱美奖颁奖礼上她抱走了最佳拉丁专辑大奖。凭借拉丁新天后的人气，2002年夏奇拉发行了首张英文专辑《Laundry Service(爱情洗礼)》，到目前为止创下全球超过一千三百万张的销售量，缔造了32个国家白金销售及10个国家金唱片销售成绩，宣告夏奇拉在迈向国际化的道路上再获成功，成为新生代流行天后。
发行过六张拉丁专辑及一张英文专辑的夏奇拉，在2005年隆重推出最新拉丁专辑《Fijacion Oral Vol.1》，与过去的合作搭档包括：Lester Mendez、Luis Ochoa、Tim Mitchell等拉丁乐界精英，加上重量级制作人Rick Rubin(Beastie Boys、Red Hot Chili Peppers)共同精心打造，融铸出流行、弗拉门戈、摇滚等多元风情。谈到最新专辑，夏奇拉表示在她结束世界巡回演唱会后，她开始着手写歌，源源不断的灵感，使她一气创作出60首新作包括英文和拉丁文歌曲，因而有了在本年度发行两张专辑的构想，一张是以拉丁文为主的《Fijacion Oral Vol. 1》，另一张是以英文为主的专辑《Oral Fixation 2》，后者预计在今年晚些时候发行，两张专辑将有完全不同的曲目，令人拭目以待。
推荐的这首Whenever Whereever 是我最喜欢听的.很有拉丁的味道,还让我想起了波西米亚!![mp=1]http://rena.nmgeol.com/down/whenever,wherever.mp3[/mp]
Lucky you were born that far away so
So we could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten million ways to love somebody
Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le
Can't you see...I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
and that's the deal my dear
Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river
Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le
At your feet...I'm at your feet
Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, Hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear
Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le
Think out load, say it again
Le do le le le le
Tell me one more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, Hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, Hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
