Who Influenced Shakira?

Because Shakira is Latin and because Latin is the name of a genre of music, some people are intellectually lazy and kind of lump her into that category. In reality, she is very much an international pop star, or maybe a rock star. She is a bit hard to peg. Her biggest hits have been dance numbers, but there have been tracks on her albums with a folksy, singer songwriter feel. I am going to search for a paragraph somewhere were she list her influences. Interviewers are always asking singers to do that. Singers must get very tired of that.
