The Rise of Shakira
Where are the thieves? It was the best-selling Spanish-language album in the United States in its year of release. It received positive reviews from music critics. Alex Henderson of AllMusic stated that it was "arguably the best and most essential he recorded in the 1990s", while Christopher John Farley, reviewing for Time, said that it loads Latin pop with rock to an "exciting" effect. ".
Although Shakira's music was already heard in Latin America, thanks to her previous work Pies Descalzos (1995), her fourth studio album, she confirmed that we were dealing with a world-class artist.
Juan Alberto Mata, a specialist in the music business and professor of Music at the UPC, tells RPP that the album "definitely did not disappoint." "The levels of composition and production were fantastic. It served as support for Shakira's entry into the Anglo-Saxon market with the support of Sony Music and Emilio Estefan."
For Mata, the impact that the album had was great at the composition level. "Shakira's lyrics, which were already more personal with Pies Descalzos, had a lot of impudence and a language that was not necessarily poetic, but rather colloquial every day. This greatly influenced other artists, especially composers and singers."
Shakira Day is a Spotify initiative to honor the artist who has proudly represented Colombia to the world for many years. This year, the streaming platform celebrates the 25th anniversary of Where Are the Thieves? with this initiative, which is part of the #ShakiraMereceUnDía campaign.
