Shakira

Shakira cast a spell on the world with her hit single “Hips Don’t Lie,” and we are still enchanted by her talent to date. What most people do not know about this Colombian songstress is that her career started way before this hit launched her into global stardom.

She released her first album at only 13 years of age, including songs she had been writing since she was 8.

Her successful career includes highlights like her Super Bowl and Soccer World Cup performances and numerous awards, including 3 Grammy awards.

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez is proof that Latina women really can do it all. She is a woman with many titles, including singer, dancer, actress, and successful businesswoman.

J-Lo always knew that her calling was in music and the performance arts and started preparing for her glamorous future from a very early age.

The most impressive thing about Lopez’s career is how she gives her all to everything she tries. As a result, she is one of the few performers with awards from the music and the film industry.

And let’s not forget how she continues to defy age. J-lo truly is a living legend!

Selena Quintanilla

The late Selena Quintanilla may no longer be with us, but her legacy lives on in her music and the memory of her unforgettable performances. She is the embodiment of staying alive through tough times, as her music still touches many years after her death.

Selena Gomez

Fun fact, Selena Gomez was named after Selena Quintanilla! Although born and raised in Texas, USA, Selena Gomez is actually of Mexican descent.

Her journey to musical success is a bit different, as she started as an actress before entering the competitive music industry. Gomez is one of Disney’s success stories and made a very seamless transition into her musical career after trading the big screen for recording booths and concert stages.

In addition to her success in the entertainment industry, Selena is also a prolific philanthropist. The UNICEF spokesperson has been involved in and has even spearheaded numerous charity campaigns, including several to help empower and protect disenfranchised children.

Thalia

Thalia is considered by many the “Queen of Latin Pop,” and with her numerous hits and awards, it is difficult to argue with this observation.

Today, Thalia has sold millions of records and racked up numerous awards, including 7 Latin Grammy Awards. She is also one of the few Latina singers who has their very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Gloria Estephan

Does that sound familiar? Well, this glorious earworm was one of Gloria Estephan’s greatest hits.

And even though she is not as active in the industry today as she was when the song came out, her music can still be found everywhere, from wedding party playlists to movie soundtracks.

Gloria Estephan was truly the sound of a generation and came up in a time where Latin music was breaking through the borders to entertain fans from all over the world.

She is enjoying retirement in the company of her family, 3 Grammy awards, and the knowledge that she has been immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Anahi

Anahi is so much more than just a Latina singer. She is truly iconic. The Mexican babe is regarded as one of the most beautiful women in the world and has the talent to match.

She starred in several films and shows before she tried on the musician’s hat and found that it was a good fit.

Anahi is known for giving electric and provocative performances and regularly fills out stadiums and concert halls with adoring fans.
