Even if you already have the she wolf cd or the non-expanded loba cd, this one is worth getting. Gitana is fabulous!!!! The duet of lo hecho esta hecho [did it again] is leaps and bounds better than the english duet of this song on the she wolf album. If you haven't purchased a she wolf/loba yet, then BUY THIS VERSION because its the best. On Loba Expanded Version you'll get to enjoy all of the original songs, plus GITANA, plus GYPSY LIVE, plus the lo hecho esta hecho duet ... without having to suffer through give it up to me. I also enjoy popping the cd into the player and having loba be the first track [instead of she wolf]. Starting shakira off with spanish just feels better to the ears ... and above all that, this cd is worth it even just for gitana alone!!! Good stuff, gypsy, mon amour, and now gitana will surely please old school shaki fans!

I love this version of the She Wolf Albums. It has some great remixes on it.

I've always been a fan of Shakira and this is my favorite CD yet! Definitely a must-have for anyone! The mix of Spanish and English is fantastic! You get the best of both worlds!

Go cd arrived on time, right before Christmas, made a great gift. Thank you for the cd, keep up the good work.

This is truly a great Shakira album. She can make electronic music the best by mixing up different influences around the world with it. I loved the first "She Wolf" and then I got this expanded edition of "Loba" later, and I'm glad I did.
It's pretty cool having this album start off in Spanish, with Loba", and then "Lo Hecho Esta Hecho (Spanish version of Did it Again), and "Anos Luz (Spanish version of Why Wait)". After that, it moves into the English with "She Wolf". That song is great. It mixes up electronic with disco and altogether it sounds amazing. "Did it Again" is also good, especially the version with Kid Cudi (on "She Wolf"), but instead, on this version of "Loba", we get "Lo Hecho Esta Hecho" with Pitbull, which is great also. After that, one of my absolute favorite songs plays, "Long Time" it has this great earthy feel to the song mixed up with electronic, kind of like "Why Wait", the next song.
"Good Stuff" is also another amazing Neptune-produced song, with some great instrumentation and lyrics. "Men in This Town" is like electro-rock, which I think is really cool. "Gypsy" and the Spanish version "Gitana" (only on this version of "Loba") has amazing instrumentation and percussion (which is more prominent in "Gitana"), with a killer chorus. "Spy" with Wyclef Jean is a great song, especially with the horns and violins. This song is a bit on the hip-hop side and I like it. "Mon Amour" has a great rock beat and amazing lyrics that only Shakira can write. This album also comes with a live version of "Gypsy", which I like.
The first remix, "She Wolf (Deeplick Club Remix)" is great, but the other version that's on YouTube is 10x better, although I still like this one. The second remix is the "Loba (Deep Mariano Radio Mix)". It has a great disco vibe with crazy sound effects, and I love it.
Altogether, if you want "Loba", don't get the original. Definitely get this one. It has more tracks and is a fantastic album.

My top 3 favorites:
1. Long Time
2. Loba (Deep Mariano Radio Mix)
3. Gitana

I haven't gotten Sale El Sol yet, so I can't say for sure, but Loba is the best album of Shakira's that I've heard. One of the best albums, period.
