Customer Reviews

First to Write!
I can't believe no one reviewed this CD. I LOVE this album, and I think people should listen to it, so they can write a review! All the songs on here are awesome, especially No Creo, Octavio Dia, and Tu. They sound so much better live, you have to listen to this album!

If you only know the "pop"-Shakira...
Many Americans seem to think Shakira is a pop singer, and her revealing, suggestive, and even lewd music videos don't help that image. But if that is the only Shakira you know, you are missing out. Shakira is one of the most passionate, emotional, skilled, talented, and powerful singer/songwriters in the world. The poetry of her lyrics does not translate well to English and much of the beauty and depth comes across as shallowness or sexual aggression - the truth of it is, Spanish is a Romantic language, and Shakira writes in Spanish. She has something of a flirty stage presence, but do not mistake this for Britney Speaks-like slut pop a la "Oops! I Did It Again," etc. Shakira's performances are raw and passionate, just like her music. If you were turned off by the drum machines and dance-club rhythms of her studio releases, you should conisder this MTV Unplugged performance. Her band is fantastic, and she herself is a very skilled musician.

A Beautiful Latina Album.
Consider this album Exhibit "A" to my argument that, as a country we should embrace the rich Latin American culture, rather than building fences at our borders. Born in Colombia (and fluent in English, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, French, and Italian), Shakira is a Latina singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, and dancer, best known for her powerful, contralto voice and sensual Arabic dance moves. This album reveals two things: Shakira is a perfectionist, and there is beauty in the Latin culture. Her critically-acclaimed 1999 MTV Unplugged performance in New York features 11 songs drawn mostly from her popular 1998 Spanish album, Dónde Están los Ladrones?, which was nominated for a Grammy Award. Those tracks include:

1. Octavo Día (En Vivo) 6:05
2. Si Te Vas (En Vivo) 3:54
3. Dónde Están Los Ladrones (En Vivo) 3:22
4. Moscas En La Casa (En Vivo) 4:02
5. Ciega, Sordomuda (En Vivo) 4:09
6. Inevitable (En Vivo) 3:39
7. Estoy Aquí (En Vivo) 4:58
8. Tú (En Vivo) 5:22
9. Sombra De Ti (En Vivo) 4:07
10. No Creo (En Vivo) 4:08
11. Ojos Así (En Vivo) 6:50
