This passion to dances and performances has grasped SHakiru for all life. She executed belly dance every Friday in Catholic church. SHakira adds: " Though I danced with the open stomach, anybody did not condemn me. Nuns considered it as art. "
Later reading with mathematics have been thrown, and parents have seriously borrowed in dancing career of the daughter. SHaki won successively all local competitions of dances, and the beginnings in passing itself to write songs.
" I have written the first song to 8 years " Your dark glasses " (Tus gafas oscuras "). She has been devoted to the little boy in my imagination. Because at that time at me was not bojfrenda, to me in fact was only 8. But I always wrote romantic songs, always. Even when I was absolutely small. I have taken solar glasses of the daddy as motive. Because, whether know, children like small bagatelles, in fact their world very small. And in 14 me have entrusted to represent Colombia at well-known festival Vinja of del of Mar.

But it have not taken in children's chorus, because, according to the teacher, she " bekala, as a goat ". After that SHakira began to hesitate to sing, but, nevertheless, has started to write down texts of songs on the tape recorder.
In 13 SHakira has gone through the first ups and downs of love. It was neighbour's boy Oscar of Prado to whom she has opened the treasured dream - to become the professional singer.
In free from dances and a writing of songs time, SHakira often played with neighbour's boys. " We represented ourselves the organization which searches for oil. Certainly, I was main, " - she tells.

When I speak the present actors, I have in view of actors who played already more than twenty years and have brought the huge contribution to development of art. Therefore it was tremendous experience. But I was too young, and I changed a little, and I am not proud of it. I do not like to look episodes of this serial ".
