Shakira, (a huge star in Latin America) is soon bound 2 arrive in the USA with an English album. She has now incorporated Arabic elements 2 her style of Latin/Pop/Rock. She claims 2 be part Colombian/Arabic (Lebanese) Her full name is
Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll ( that should prove it!!)
( picture 2 the left is Shakira singing "Ojos Asi" on MTV Unplugged.) The hit song is a fantastic mix of arabic & Latin
(picture 2 the left is Shakira)eye think mayte should have continued 2 follow her influences thru out her career... as the youngest professional belly dancer in history (at one point)and with such an extensive Arabic/latin/Pop background Mayte should have continued 2 fuse all those elements 2gether... now others r doing it 4 her.. :(
