She is a child prodigy who wrote her first song at age eight, a blond-locked Colombian who speaks three languages and loves only in Spanish.

It is in the eyes of youth, but she is much older than his 24 years. Like his compatriot, Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the author writes: "Shakira music has a stamp that does not look like anyone else, and nobody can sing or dance, as it was at all what age, with such an innocent sensuality, which appears to be his invention.
