Colombian singer Shakira Mebarak recently spoke about her deep admiration for Afrofusion star Burna Boy and the extraordinary impact of the Afrobeats genre during an in-depth interview and cover shoot with Rolling Stone.

Delving into her illustrious career, Shakira fondly reminisced about her humble beginnings, making her recording debut with Sony Music Colombia at the tender age of 13.

She captivated Hispanic audiences with her breakthrough albums ‘Pies Descalzos’ in 1995 and ‘Dónde Están los Ladrones?’ in 1998, solidifying her status as a global music sensation.

Transitioning to the English-language market, Shakira achieved resounding success with her fifth album, ‘Laundry Service,’ in 2001, ultimately selling over 13 million copies worldwide and introducing her to a broader international audience.
