Shakira: Ready for the Good Times

from Becoming An Icon · host My Cultura and Sonoro

Before she was the ultra famous pop star from Barranquilla, Shakira started her career as a poet and belly dancer, and she signed a 3-album contract with Sony, but her early albums had limited success. Then, "Pies Descalzos" brought her popularity in Latin America and despite setbacks, she collaborated with Emilio Estefan Jr. to create a unique sound. With Gloria Estefan's support, she successfully transitioned into the English-speaking market. This is Shakira's beginnings. Lilliana Vázquez and Joseph Carrillo are the hosts of Becoming an Icon with production support by Juan Carlos Arenado, Josie Meléndez, Daniela Sarquis, and Santiago Sierra of Sonoro Media in partnership with iHeart Radio's My Cultura Podcast network.
