Shakira: Whenever, Wherever

from Becoming An Icon Hosted by My Cultura and Sonoro

Shakira experimented with her looks and participated in MTV Unplugged, which became a successful album. Despite being recognized as a talented artist, Shakira hesitated to cross over into the English market for fear of losing her Colombian fans' respect. She faced her insecurities and achieved success with "Laundry Service." a commercial hit with singles like "Whenever, Wherever" and "La Tortura." Then, the pressure to surpass her previous successes had Shakira in a creative rut. Little did she know that this challenging period would be the catalyst for her most transformative and groundbreaking musical era yet. 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.
