Review

A tribute to the music of Latin pop superstar and internationally known vocalist Shakira!

Features brand new cover versions of the salsa and rock en espanol singles Whenever, Wherever, Eyes Like Yours, Rules, Ready For The Good Times and many more!

Shakira s breakthrough crossover smash album Laundry Service topped the charts around the world and earned her the award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the first annual Latin Grammys!

Her total combined album sales is well over 4 million in the U.S. and more than double that in the international markets!

Columbian born Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll has been a rising Latin American star since the age of 13. Beginning her career as a fashion medel, Shakira took to music where she composed and produced two album Magia and Peligro for Sony Records in the early 90s. The records gained a respectable audience and established Shakira as a formidable songwriter and vocalist. However, it wasn t until 1995 and the release of her most ambitious ablum Pies Descalzos that Shakira s career took off. After an initial stall in sales, the single from Pies Estoy Aqui began to appear on Latin radio stations and promptly rocketed up the Latin Music charts to #1. Estoy Aqui and five subsequent singles pushed the album to sell an astounding 4 million copies worldwide. Shakira now found herself on the way to pop superstardom and her next step was both obvious and inevitable - a crossover album which would bring her music to the American market. Laundry Service, Shakira s first album with English lyrics, did just that on the strength of the catchy salsa number Whenever, Wherever as well as the rock en espanol tracks Rules and Ready For The Good Times. She was awarded Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the first annual Latin Grammys for Ojos Asi and has begun to appear in concert and in television advertisements all accross the globe. Now, this superbly talented songstress is given a fitting tribute for a career that has already spawned numerous hit singles and promises to bring even more in the near future! --Cleopatra Records

1.0 out of 5 stars HORRIBLE, September 4, 2002

This review is from: Tribute to Shakira (Audio CD)

Whoever this is can NOT sing Shakira... she ruins all the songs! I suggest not to buy it, and just buy Shakira's REAL cd's. I thought this was going to be a tribute by various Latin artists, but it's nothing as good ast that.

1.0 out of 5 stars A very expensive coaster, October 1, 2002

This review is from: Tribute to Shakira (Audio CD)

That's exactly what this CD should be used for. Whoever this so called recording artist this is should have her vocal chords removed for the sake of humanity.

This is nothing short of an expensive coaster or something to teach your dog to fetch.
