Shakira’s new song “Me enamore” which means, “Fell in Love” was written by her describing how she met her boyfriend. Also father of her two boys. “I wanted it to look like a karaoke, so that way people can sing along,” stated Shakira to Chiquinquira Delgado. Delgado was the reporter interviewing her. All during the Univision special interview.
At the age of 10, it was when Shakira’s parents supported her with her presentations. She knew at a young age that her passion was music. Thus decided to solely focus on it. In many of those presentations Shakira danced. She developed her first album at the age of 13. She admitted to Chiquinquira Delgado, that because she started her music career at a young age it gave her the advantage to blossom.
Although Shakira did mentioned that it takes passion, discipline, and focus to become successful in the music industry. She too, agreed with Chiquinquira that she didn’t always get a YES. As a matter of fact, one time early in her career she was told she sang horrible. Those words came from a male professor. Therefore she was not allowed to join the class.
Chiquinquira asked Shakira if she ever wonders what he might be thinking when he now watches her.“He doesn’t probably like it…”assumed and laughed Shakira.
When asked about how she handles motherhood and career all at once, Shakira said its challenging. She said that motherhood has given her a more humble heart. Shakira confessed during her interview that she has been a saint for the most part. Though her children have increased a more saintly perspective in her life.
She believes that mothers like herself majority of the times do more work than the fathers. She said that men live in their own world and laughed. Since she is a perfectionist in her career, she too is with raising her children. She tries to keep her music career and motherhood tasks in tact.
Her work schedule is organized as much as possible. So she would be able to be at the studio and then have the capability to pick and drop her oldest son, Milan at school.
Shakira desires for her children to attend regular school. In order to live a regular life. Also, because her parents during her childhood established that and had her in activities.
She tries to do the same with her children. Both of her kids play sports and enjoy it so much. They both enjoy music. Her smallest, Sasha, 2 years old likes to dance a lot but Milan, 4 years old literally prefers playing soccer than going out for ice cream.
Shakira believes in giving towards education. Because she loves to help people, she initiated her own organization “Pies Delcazos.” In English it means “Barefoot.” It has helped her built schools for children in Colombia. Her organization too helps feed children.
Lesson she has learned in her life is to acquire knowledge on how to triumph through anything in life.
