As she wis growin up, she wis fascinatit watchin her faither writin stories on a teepewriter, an askit for ane as a Christenmas gift. She got her wish at age seiven an continued writing poetry. These poems eventually evolved into songs. At the age o twa, an aulder hauf-brither wis killed in a motorcycle accident an at the age o aicht, Shakira wrote her first song entitled "Tus gafas oscuras" ("Your dark glasses"), which wis inspired bi her faither, who for years wore dark glasses, tae hide his grief.^[13] Whan Shakira wis fower, her faither teuk her tae a local Middle Eastren restaurant, whaur Shakira first heard the doumbek, a tradeetional drum uised in Arabic muisic an which teepically accompaniet belly dancin.^[14] Afore she knew it, Shakira wis dancin on the table, she then kent she wantit tae be a performer. She enjoyed singin for schuilmates an teachers (an even the nuns) at her Catholic schuil, but in the seicont grade wis rejectit for the schuil choir acause her vibrato wis an aw strang. The muisic teacher tauld her that she soondit "like a goat".^[14][15] At schuil, she says she haed been kent as "the belly dancer girl", as she wad demonstrate ivery Friday at schuil a nummer she haed learned.^[14] "That's how I discovered my passion for live performance," she says.^[12][16] Tae show her that things coud be waur, her faither teuk her tae a local pairk tae see orphans who livit thare. The images stayed wi her an she said tae hersef "ane day A’m goin tae help these kids when A become a famous airtist."^[12] Atween the ages o ten an thirteen Shakira wis invitit tae various events in Barranquilla an gained some recognition in the aurie.^[17] It wis at aboot this time that she met local theatre producer Monica Ariza, who wis impressed wi her an as a result treed tae help her career. Durin a flicht frae Barranquilla tae Bogotá, Ariza convincit Sony Colombia executive Ciro Vargas tae hauld an audeetion for Shakira in a hotel lobby. Vargas held Shakira in heich regard an, returnin tae the Sony office, gave the cassette tae a sang an airtist director. Housomeivver, the director wis no owerly excitit an thocht Shakira wis something o "a lost cause". Vargas, no dauntit, wis still convincit that Shakira haed talent, an set up an audeetion in Bogotá.
