Shakira echoed the musical debut of her nephew, Shafik Mebarak, who released his first song and intends to follow in his aunt’s footsteps.
At 22 he has worked very hard to start his musical career, since he is clear about the artist he wants to be and Shakira has greatly influenced it. It has been she who has taught him the passion and discipline that is required to get ahead in the world of music.
“She influences me a lot, due to the fact that she is a person who has worked hard to get where she is. It is a great example to follow ”, assured the young man in an interview with ‘Entertainment Caracol’.
the son of one of Shakira’s older brothers, Robin Mebarak Otero released his first single entitled “Te fuiste” by Sony Music and The Rudeboyz.
“The last time I saw her was when she came to Barranquilla and I asked her for advice on a song she was recording. We worked there for a while and I made the most of it. She has mainly given me advice on details, to be very detailed when it comes to the songs, in the little bits like adding a little ‘ehh’ that can change the vibe of the songs “, related Shafik for the aforementioned medium.
At his age, the young Barranquilla is aware of the artist he wants to be, of the work that this means and of how he sees his future career, since in his mind he already projects himself singing alongside the greatest exponents of the urban genre.
“This is what you’ve worked so hard for,” Shakira wrote on her Instagram account with a preview of the video clip of the song where she has also added the phrase “Very proud of you” to show her love as aunt.
“Wow! Auntie, I thank you so much for the support and advice you have given me… ”, replied the boy to the publication in networks that Shakira has made and that already accumulates almost 100,000 likes.
