Isa Mebarak Will Follow Shakira’s Steps
She doesn’t shake her hips like Shakira, her famous cousin. But Maria Isabel Mebarak, a.k.a. Isa Mebarak, is trying to follow Shakira’s steps.
Isa has the best godmother she could have asked for; who wouldn’t like to have Shakira’s support for their artistic career? I can’t think of a better jump start, specially in Colombia.
Besides their love for music and for Barranquilla, the two Colombian girls share the same last name… and the same middle name. Isabel was their grandmother, and in her honor almost all of the Mebarak girls are named after her: Lucila Isabel, Maria Isabel, Patricia Isabel, Shakira Isabel… It’s a little funny, but I think it’s sweet, too.
Jairo Martinez, friend of the family and Shakira’s ex-PR, says that he recently saw both cousins eating together at Shakira’s home.
“Is there jealousy? No, not at all. Quite the opposite. Shakira is supporting Isa a lot”, Martinez declared.
At the moment, like her famous cousin, Isa Mebarak is starting her career in Colombia. In her web site - www.isamebarak.com - you can listen to her first single, “Me Llevo Mi Amor” (I take my love with me), a pop ballad that the artist describes as “a mix of Flamenco and Brazilian music”.
The song is nice, and she has a beautiful voice - although not as powerful as Shakira’s. But, Isa seems to be much younger than Shakira, as you can see in the photo. So, let’s wait and see if she has what it takes to be a big star like Shakira.

But can she shake her hips like Shakira, I reckon; No.

Hot? From where? She is not cute and looks nothing like Shakira as suggested. Her voice is super weak, and doubt she’ll ever be half as famous as her aunt.
