The singer and songwriter Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, born on February 2, 1977 in Colombia, has established herself as one of the most influential Latin figures of recent decades. Following her debut in 1995 with Pies descalzos, she achieved global success with the album Servicio de lavandería, combining pop, rock, and Latin rhythms.

Her professional career is immense, accumulating over 350 awards, including 15 Latin Grammys and 4 Grammys. In recent years, Shakira has successfully transformed her personal experiences into high-impact viral phenomena, such as the popular collaboration with Bizarrap, which became one of the most listened-to songs of the moment.

In Catalonia, February 2, 1974 was a significant date for the Nova Cançó movement. Lluís Llach was able to perform again at the Palau de la Música Catalana, ending four years of prohibition, and presented the album I si canto trist….

That same day, Joan Manuel Serrat presented the album Per al meu amic, which included emblematic songs from his repertoire such as “Pare” and “M’en vaig a peu”. Other milestones for Lluís Llach on this date include the publication of Verges 50 on February 2, 1981.

The day is rounded off by Lluís Llach’s collaboration with the group Ocults on the song “País petit” in 1996, a piece that highlights the generational connection and the deep roots of contemporary Catalan music.
