Great Song! Hopefully radio stations hear it and pick it up because it has such a great beat and it is sooo catchy! Great for anytime, especially dancing. This song is awesome! Too bad it's not in english because it would have been such a big hit here. Trust me, once you here it, you'll be hooked!.
this single is so sexy!
Shakira's Lebanese roots are showcased in this wonderful Arabic/Latin fusion of rhythms and orchestration. For starters, I just want to say how much I love this song. From the opening chord, it had me HOOKED. This song, "La Tortura" (The Torture) is a dialogue between a couple on the verge of breaking up. Alejandro Sanz, a Spanish crooner known well for his romantic ballads, blends so well with her voice on this duet. He sounds so frustrated, and he really sounds convincing as a tortured lover who just doesn't want to give his lady up for anything. . . . . . . The song is guaranteed to make you want to get up and bellydance (even if you don't know how!).
The remix is great, too. "La Tortura" (Shaketon remix) is a cross between reggae and the original, very Arabic sound. I could definitely see the clubs playing a hole in this single, and drawing a diverse audience of Latinos and non-Latinos alike. This is truly a cross-over hit. .
