Shakira
Shakira is a Colombian singer and songwriter known globally for Latin pop hits and a distinctive vocal style.
Her name, from Arabic meaning "grateful," appears in contexts ranging from music awards to Super Bowl halftime shows.
Like Madonna or Beyoncé, she's recognizable by first name alone: I've been listening to Shakira all week.
