Back in the mid 2000's, I was reading 1001 Records You Must Hear Before You Die and Shakira's Dónde Están los Ladrones? was glowingly featured along the way. I took a punt and was amply rewarded.
Shakira sings in Spanish so her lyrics kind of pass me by (my Spanish is limited to two papers I did as a prerequisite for a masters' degree back in the late seventies). But her emotional vocal delivery and the infectious music carry me along anyway.
Where do they all belong? Yep - I agree, you need to hear this one before you die.
