Shakira fandom
Shakira fandom is the name given to the community of fans of the Colombian singer Shakira. The fandom is made up of people of all ages and different cultures. According to the book "Shakira Una Mirada desde el corazón", Shakira enjoyed a "cult" following in the Hispanic communities especially.
According to the television media, the peak of so-called Shakiramanía was in the mid-1990s, when she successfully debuted in the music market, breaking records of that time. In the words of Rolling Stone, she essentially redefined Latin rock and pop. Young people (especially girls) from Latin countries imitated Shakira's appearance, singing and dancing. The wearing of colored braids, leather pants and shirts with bracelets became a trend in the late-1990s.
Shakira's fandom groups are scattered throughout the world and have been covered by national news for charitable activities as well as confrontations on social media. Shakira herself witnessed various harassing and obsessed fans who tried to attack the celebrity, violate her privacy or even have the desire to kill her.
During the mid-1990s, Shakira was already establishing herself in the world of Latin music and in some parts of Europe due to the success of her album Pies Descalzos (1995). In this period, Shakira adopted a rocker look, consisting of leather pants, bracelets and prominent hair. A sensation in Latin America, the look came to be known as 'Shakira fever' or Shakiramanía. The name and image on Pies Descalzos together with ¿Dónde Están los ladrones? would be referenced for the next few years as Shakira's essential brand and stage persona. Her young fans imitated the album covers' promotional images of Shakira, which led to a trend in Latin American youth at the time. In countries such as Spain, Turkey, Mexico and Argentina, Shakira's fashion influenced daily fashion for girls and adolescents emulating the singer during the promotion of her fourth album: they wore the thread bracelets and colored braids. The hippie look was well received as it identified with the sounds that Shakira embodied in her albums. Once the crossover was made to the world market, Shakiramanía spread globally: fangirls from the United States and other countries began to emulate Shakira's rock style, singing and dancing techniques. In later years, Shakira's barefoot style of performing would become a focal point of her image.
The name of the Shakira fandom is not decided by themselves or by the media, although the word "ShakiFans" is widely used to refer to fan groups in Latin American countries, likewise there are variations of this name such as "Wolfies". Various names also vary depending on the country, although magazines and websites may only call them "Shakira fans". The Shakira fandom is considered to be the most extensive fan base for an overall Latin artist ever. One of the oldest groups for Shakira fans is called "Official Fans Club Shakira Barranquilla", with various users belonging to the same city of origin of the singer.
There are several podcasts dedicated mostly to Shakira. One of them is "Shakipedia: A Shakira Podcast" launched in 2002 and is available on services such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts and several other podcast platforms. Another podcast is "Hits Don't Lie", which makes a play on words with "Hips Don't Lie"; the podcast is also widely available on streaming services.
Shakira has various fan clubs in Hispanic and foreign countries. For example, the official Peruvian fan club is "Club Shakira Peru", founded in 1996. In countries like Japan, Shakira's fan clubs have also appeared, which were waiting for her upon her arrival in the Asian country. The official name of Shakira's Mexican fan club is called "Las Caderas Mexico".
Every year, Shakira fans get together to carry out charity work in favor of the community. The Club Shakira Peru organizes the so-called "Shakichocolatadas"—where hot chocolate is served in a special gathering—to provide a Christmas dinner to the poorest children in the country. Likewise, Shakira's Colombian fan club organized for the donation of 400 new notebooks extracted from already used notebooks, that is, recycled ones that we gathered at a national level and transformed by a foundation.
