Takes me back to Shakira's very 1st album
Since Shakira went english I kind of lost intrest. Takes me back to Shakira's very 1st album Pies Descalzos. However, this album Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 was a whole lot better. . . . I give this one a 5 star. Very very good and mellow out. .


Shakira - produccion latina - musicos latinos
Despues que anuncio que planeaba dos discos, uno en espan~ol, y el otro en ingles, yo esperaba que el disco en espan~ol hubiese traido unas gran influencias latinas. Yo estaba esperando otra cosa. Estuve muy equivocado.

Con excepcion de "La Tortura", en ritmo de reggaeton, suena mas como la musica de artistas como Coldplay, pero cantado por Shakira. Y hablando de Coldplay, se copiaron de su tocar de piano. Si el nombre del productor, Rick Rubin, y los musicos que no me acuerdo sus nombre ahora, no suenan latinos, menos latino sono su estilo de tocar la musica.

Obviamente le gusto a mucha gente le gusto y estoy en la minoria. Pero si crees que escucharas un poco de instrumentacion latina como la trompeta Mejicana de "Ciego Sordomuda" o los instrumentos de viento andinos en "Suerte" te equivocaras.


Easily her best work; an artistic triumph
After the commercial success of her first U. This album is simply amazing. S. release, LAUNDRY, Shakira went back to her artistic roots with this all-Spanish album. The musicality, lyricism, and tone of this CD puts all of her prior and later work to shame. Even the English VOL. 2, a great album in its own right, pales in comparison. Shortly after its release, "Hips Don't Lie" (which is not included on the original version of VOL. 2) became a big hit. I don't assume Shakira will ever return to this sort of artistic work, preferring to make millions making mindless pop songs, and who can blame her? At least she gave the world this one resounding triumph of sound.


Beautiful Music!
The CD is full of songs that are more mellow than "Grandes Exitos. This CD is an outpouring of Shakira's more mature, thoughtful and emotional side. "

Overall, the all-Spanish CD is excellent and offers a lovely, toned-down version of Shakira's vocal style. .


My Shakira Fijación.
I have a Shakira Fijación. "The song's not a hit until makes my hips move!"--Shakira

Okay, I confess. She's beautiful, she writes her own music, she can dance, she's multilingual, I've read she's very smart and, oh yeah, she can sing. I really like this cd. Although "Hips Don't Lie" may rank as her biggest hit single, Fijación Oral Vol. 1 remains my favorite Shakira cd to date. Produced by studio genius Rick Rubin, Fijación Oral Vol. 1 is the Columbian superstar's first all-Spanish album since 1998's Dónde Están los Ladrones?. Songs include:

1. En Tus Pupilas
2. La Pared
3. La Tortura
4. Obtener Un Si
5. Dia Especial
6. Escondite Ingles
7. No
8. Las De La Intuicion
9. Dia De Enero
10. Lo Imprescindible
11. La Pared (Version Acustica)
12. La Tortura (Shaketon Remix)

From track one to twelve, backed by strong rhythms and tight musical arrangements, Shakira's sensual and seductive vocals are in fine form. The only thing better than listening to this cd is watching Shakira perform these songs live on Shakira: Live & Off The Record. But I should warn you. Once you see Shakira perform, it's hard to look away.
