Shakira's path to stardom began much earlier than many might imagine. A video from 1989, now circulating on social media, shows a 13-year-old Shakira performing a Madonna song on a Colombian television show. Despite her young age and inexperience, the future star was already showing signs of her innate talent and that her hips don't lie.
The video takes us to a time when the singer, now world famous, took her first steps in the world of entertainment. In the recording she appears much darker, with black hair and a childish expression. But when she picks up the microphone, Shakira's unmistakable voice is heard, although you can clearly see that she did not have complete control of her vocal cords.
The Colombian artist did not choose something simple. Shakira decided that she was going to perform to the rhythm of Madonna, a true music icon. In this way, you can see the singer performing La Isla Bonita on the program De los Sueños... until today, which was apparently some kind of talent contest.
Despite her young age, the artist already demonstrated a charisma and confidence on stage that would characterize her successful career. In the video, Shakira displays some of her now iconic hip movements, although in an earlier and less polished version than the current ones.
This discovery has generated a great stir on social networks, with many followers of Shakira sharing their amazement and pride at the journey that the Colombian singer has had since the late 80s to becoming one of the most emblematic figures in current music.
