Colombian Superstar Shakira ‘Person of the Year’ - Latin Grammys

There are a number of performers in the world but when we listen one performer’s name than we can’t stop our legs to dance and that person is Shakira. Organizers for the Latin Grammys, the top honours for Latin music, recently named Colombian superstar Shakira as their person of the year to be feted at the group's annual awards show in November2011.


This year shakira is basically nominated for the three Latin Grammys including album of the year for her "Sale el Sol," will be given the award not only for her songs and performing but for philanthropic work through her Pies Descalzos Foundation.

"We are honored to pay homage to this dynamic, socially conscious woman whose illustrious career has touched so many people around the world, both musically and personally," Latin Recording Academy president Gabriel Abaroa, Jr. said in a statement. In 1996, Shakira released "Pies Descalzos" with hit singles "Estoy Aqui" and "Se Quiere...Se Mata." Her first crossover album, Laundry Service, debuted in 2001 and went on to become her most successful album, to date. Shakira's foundation focuses on helping impoverished children receive an education.
