Boletos para Conciertos de Shakira
Se anunció hoy que la superestrella internacional Shakira presentará este verano una gira de conciertos "Fijación Oral" en 23 ciudades norteamericanas. Comenzando el 9 de agosto en el Don Haskins Center de El Paso, Texas y finalizando el 25 de septiembre con un concierto en el Dodge Arena de McAllen, esta gira tan esperada la está produciendo Live Nation (NYSE:LYV) y será presentada por Verizon Wireless. Las entradas estarán a la venta el sábado 29 de abril.
A Shakira se le conoce por usar tecnología inalámbrica para llegar a sus admiradores. A ella se le encuentra entre una de las primeras artistas musicales que el año pasado presentó contenido exclusivo a los clientes de Verizon Wireless V CAST. Para asegurar la máxima participación de su fans en la gira "Fijación Oral", Shakira y Verizon Wireless están llevando sus relaciones al próximo nivel al aportar interactividad sin precedentes entre Shakira y sus admiradores. Detalles sobre estas iniciativas serán anunciados por Verizon a finales de esta semana.
Cantante y compositora, ganadora de cinco Grammys, Shakira es sin duda una de las estrellas en directo más impactantes de hoy día. Un músico autodidacta que habla cinco idiomas, Shakira firmó su primer contrato de grabación en 1991 y ha alcanzado vender 33 millones de álbumes en todo el mundo. Su carrera estadounidense comenzó en el 2001 con el lanzamiento de "Laundry Service", un álbum que vendió más de 13 millones de ejemplares a nivel mundial. En el 2005, Shakira ganó tres premios de música Billboard (La canción latina más popular, la mejor artista de pop latino y el mejor álbum de pop latino), un premio American Music Award para la artista latina favorita y se llevó a casa el trofeo a la mejor mujer artista en los premios MTV Video Music.
Su último álbum, "Fijación Oral Volumen 2", debutó como número 4 en la lista de éxitos, el tercer debut entre los cinco principales en la carrera de Shakira, lo que después del lanzamiento sensacional a principios del año de "Fijación Oral Volumen 1", la colocó como la primera artista en la historia con álbumes en inglés y español que han debutado entre los cinco principales en el mismo año calendario. Animada por su éxito entre los 10 principales "Hips Don't Lie", "Fijación Oral Volumen 2" se ha colocado firmemente en la lista de éxitos de los 10 principales álbumes y ya ha vendido más de un millón de ejemplares sólo en Estados Unidos.
No siendo una persona que se duerme en sus laureles, Shakira está inspirada en contribuir a su tierra natal, estableciendo su propia fundación Pies Descalzos (http://www.fundacionpiesdescalzos.com) en 1994. Shakira y su fundación han donado más de 2000 equipos escolares a los niños de su ciudad natal Barranquilla, Colombia. Además, ella colabora como Embajadora de Buena Voluntad de UNICEF desde el 2003. Guardando su espíritu pionero, Shakira ha tomado pasos sin precedentes para ofrecer varias entradas de su gira "Fijación Oral" a un precio módico de $19,50 dólares, una decisión que ella ha tomado para que su show esté al alcance financiero de todos sus fans.

SHAKIRA GETS HIP IN NEW YORK AND THAT’S NO BULL
By Luis Vazquez
www.musicweekly.com
On Saturday April 8, 2006 at Giant’s Stadium in east Rutherford, NJ the debut of MLS’ New York franchise make its debut under new owners and name. Red Bull purchased the former Metrostars and rechristened them Red Bull New York. They pulled out all the stops in the home opener against New England. Legends like Pele and Franz Beckenbauer were brought in. They secured Rihanna to sing the national anthem as well.
But the main attraction besides soccer this evening was the halftime performance of Shakira and Wyclef Jean. Wyclef set the stage playing Jimi Hendrix style rendition of the national anthem and doing some of his old Fugees hits. Then he called out Shakira! Shakira!
The evening was cold so Shakira arrived with a large security escort appeared on stage dressed in tight spandex pants and Black Leather jacket as she performed her hit “Hips Don’t Lie with Wyclef. She moved those hips and along with her background dancers in white pants and shirts tied halfway showing off their midriffs as they danced around Shakira’ s sultry solo spots and were a great contrast to Shakira’s all black attire.
Her performance before over 35,000 fans and several children on the field who crowded around the stage were bowled over in enthusiasm. She left the fans feeling fulfilled no matter the score that night with a permanent buzz afterwards.

Shakira - La Tortura Lyrics - Liricas
Ay payita mía
Guárdate la poesía
Guárdate la alegría pa'ti
No pido que todos los días sean de sol
No pido que todos los viernes sean de fiesta
Tampoco te pido que vuelvas rogando perdón
Si lloras con los ojos secos
Y hablando de ella
Ay amor me duele tanto
Me duele tanto
Que te fueras sin decir a donde
Ay amor,
fue una tortura
perderte
Refrão: Yo se que no he sido un santo
Pero lo puedo arreglar amor
No solo de pan vive el hombre
Y no de excusas vivo yo.
Solo de errores se aprende
Y hoy se que tuyo es mi corazón
Mejor te guardas
todo eso
A otro perro
con ese hueso
Y nos decimos adiós
No puedo pedir que el invierno perdone a un rosal
No puedo pedir a los olmos que entreguen peras
No puedo pedirle lo eterno a un simple mortal
Y andar arrojando a los cerdos miles de perlas
Ay amor me duele tanto
Me duele tanto
Que no creas más en mis promesas
Ay amor
Es una tortura
Perderte!
Repete refrão :
Yo se que no he sido un santo
(Y es que no estoy hecho de cartón)
No te bajes, no te bajes
Oye negrita mira, no te rajes
De lunes a viernes tienes mi amor
Déjame el sábado a mi que es mejor
Oye mi negra no me castigues más
Porque allá afuera sin ti no tengo paz
Yo solo soy un hombre muy arrepentido
Soy como el ave que vuelve a su nido
Repete refrão:
Yo se que no he sido un santo
(Y es que no estoy hecho de cartón)
Ay ay ay,
Ay ay ay,
Ay, todo lo que he hecho por ti
Fue una tortura perderte
Me duele tanto que sea asi
Sigue llorando perdón
Yo... yo no voy
A llorar por ti...
A llorar por ti!

Shakira's instincts lead her all over the musical map
"Seems like Shakira will be taking over the Radio Waves during Summer 2005" Musica de Shakira Fijacion Oral 2005
By Laura Emerick Chicago - You might just call Shakira, the international pop music superstar, Miss Universe. Her earth goddess looks -- long golden locks and Venus di Milo figure -- would win her any beauty-pageant crown. The reference to "universe" here is invoked in an artistic sense, however. Yes, she grew up in Colombia, sings primarily in Spanish and works with Latin music tastemakers such as Emilio Estefan. But with her distinctively eclectic music, as evidenced on her "Laundry Service" (2001), Shakira aims for a universal audience.
"When people say, 'She's a Latin artist,' I understand, but I don't really make Latin music, it's not what I'm known for," said Shakira in an interview Monday, while on her way to a rehearsal for MTV's "TRL" in Las Vegas. "I am Latin, but there are people who do that better than I do. I just make music, period. I move in any direction, wherever my instincts take me."
Her instincts take her all over the musical map for "Fijacion Oral, Volumen 1," out Tuesday, which explodes with an amazing variety of styles: rock, Eurodisco, lounge, electronica, ballads, metal and more.
As for what inspired this burst of diversity, "I've been discovering some other singers, such as Bebel Gilberto from Brazil. And the French new wave, such as Serge Gainsbourg, Francoise Hardy. Even Brigitte Bardot," she said, with a laugh.
Said by one sex symbol about another. In movies such as "And God Created Woman" (1956), Bardot introduced a raw sexuality unheard of in the strait-laced '50s. BB later recorded a string of hit singles with the notorious Gainsbourg, often called "The Dirty Old Man of France." His sultry "Je T'Aime ... Moi Non Plus" was later covered as "Love to Love You, Baby" by Donna Summer.
But even a sexy thing like that American disco queen has nothing on Shakira, 28, who has shaken up Latin music as much as Bardot once did world cinema. The day after this interview, she performed "La Tortura," the disc's first single, on "TRL" with such carnality, the show's usual TV-14 rating must have been eclipsed. As she thrust her breasts and hips in sync with the song's cumbia-reggaeton beats, you could sense the poolside audience at the Hard Rock Hotel sink slowly into the deep.
The album's title, "Fijacion Oral," slyly winks at Shakira's sensual persona. But not in an overt way, or so she professes. "That's what's interesting about it. People can play with the idea, and give different interpretations. That's the ultimate purpose of art, to stimulate people's minds. That's why the title not only reflected my state of mind [while making the album], it allows people to fly with their imagination,'' she said, laughing. "That's an important element."
Well ... moving right along, the "TRL" appearance was part of a blitz that includes stops Tuesday on ABC's chatfest "The View," and Friday on Univision's "Despierta America." Last week, after a concert segment Friday on "Good Morning America," Shakira flew to Spain to sing three songs at Madrid's Puerta de Alcala square as part of a huge free festival. Like her ever-swiveling hips, she's working it.
And she worked "like a dog, 12 hours a day, for over a year and a half" writing and producing "Fijacion Oral," and its English-language companion "Oral Fixation, Vol. 2," due out in November. "Some people think I have been on vacation," she said, referring to the four years since the release of "Laundry Service," her English-language debut that sold 13 million copies worldwide.
For this project, Shakira wrote more than 60 songs. "Some came to me in Spanish, others in English." After narrowing the list to 20 titles with the help of executive producer Rick Rubin, Shakira decided to release two discs. "'Oral Fixation, Vol. 2' will be completely new songs, unless I decide to tack on bonus tracks from Vol. 1," re-recorded in English.
Still, four years amounts to an eternity in the music world. Though she toured in 2003 and released a DVD/CD of that experience in 2004, Shakira realizes that she's been off the radar for a while.
"How things are now in the music industry, you've got to be putting out a new record every six months, we are like hamburgers," she said, laughing. "I just can't do it that way. I enjoy so much being in the studio, writing songs, doing promotion, being on the road and doing live shows. But everything has a cycle and a time, and I felt that these songs really deserved all of my energy and concentration, and the time for them to get to their final destination."
Like their author, these songs have a global target. Other Latin artists might draw larger audiences in certain countries, but Shakira leads a short list of stars who've conquered every continent, and is one of the few Latin artists to crack the U.S. market. As proof, her face graces the cover this week of Billboard, the American pop music bible. Last month, she became the first Latin artist to have a Spanish-language single played on MTV, as well as a "Making the Video" segment in Spanish, subtitled in English.
And on "Fijacion Oral," Shakira branches out linguistically with verses sung in French and German. "'Lo Imprescindible' [the closing track] sounded very German to me," she said. "And there are French influences from the late '70s on 'Las de la Intuicion,' so I wrote and sang some of the words in French this time."
But Spanish of course dominates "Fijacion Oral," and two Latin music giants make guest appearances: Spain's Alejandro Sanz on "La Tortura" and Argentina's Gustavo Cerati, who co-produced and sings on "No" and "Dia Especial."
Of her collaborators, Shakira said, "Alejandro's voice is exactly what I was looking for. He's got this special rawness, and his flamenco flavor as well makes it very unique. No one else sings like him. He made an enormous contribution, and I of course was the happiest woman in the world.
"Gustavo is the most remarkable figure in Latin rock [he co-founded the hugely influential group Soda Stereo]. He really knows how to make intelligent music that's very universal. I've always loved his sound, so I called him and asked if he wanted to co-produce with me. I had really good luck this time. I couldn't ask for anything else than to have these two people who I admire and respect on this album."
On "Para Obtener Un Si," a bossa-style ballad, Shakira salutes another Latin legend, Tom Jobim. The song, which sounds totally unlike anything she's ever done before, recalls a lost session from the seminal "Francis Albert Sinatra/Antonio Carlos Jobim" (1967). "Yes! It's very much inspired by that album," she said. "We even tried to get Claus Ogerman [that album's legendary arranger], but he was not available. It's definitely a retro sound, but one of my dreams always has been to write music [like this] for the movies. It would be quite a challenge."
So with bossa, rock and everything else on "Fijacion Oral," musical unity didn't factor into the equation. "In the beginning, I wanted an electronic with an '80s influence kind of album," she said. "So the first song really had that tendency, but then during the process, I started changing.
"At first, I didn't want to hear any acoustic guitar in the mix, just synthesizers. But at some point, I got so tired of that, I said bring me an acoustic guitar in here before I go nuts! Then the album changed and went in a different direction. That's why the album is so eclectic."
And that eclecticism certainly reflects Latin influences but is not defined by them, Shakira believes. "'La Tortura' is probably the most Latin song I've ever written," she said. "It's also a portrait of the chauvinism, the machismo, that happens in our culture."
In any case, she regards this work "like a document that registers your feelings, your emotions, your motivations. The album developed over 1-1/2 years, and so many things happened during that time. You cry, you laugh, you complain, you celebrate. The musical search keeps changing. You have to have that license, that flexibility, to go down any road, to explore any possibility.
"That's why I love being a pop artist, it gives me that kind of license. I don't like to put categories on the music I do, or to label myself as a certain kind of artist. That's building your own jail, being the architect of your own prison. I don't want to do that. Music is freedom."

Musica de Shakira Fijacion Oral 2005
José Antonio Azopardo Shakira se alista con una colección musical creada en dos idiomas y que por eso será lanzada en dos partes. El primer álbum, Fijación Oral, estará en las tiendas el 7 de junio del año 2005. Transcurrieron siete años desde que la colombiana grabó un material entero en español. En noviembre se conocerá otra producción, Oral Fixation 2, escrita completamente en inglés. Video de Shakira "La Tortura"
Shakira empezó a realizar Fijación Oral y Oral Fixation 2, inmediatamente después de su última gira mundial. No sólo escribió o coescribió cada canción en los dos álbumes, sino que también fue productora del proyecto al lado de algunos de sus colaboradores habituales, a quienes se sumó Gustavo Ceratti (ex vocalista y líder de la banda Soda Estéreo). El legendario Rick Rubin (Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers) es el productor ejecutivo de ambos discos, grabados entre las Bahamas y Canadá.
La colombiana comenta, en su sitio oficial. "Terminé haciendo dos discos porque me salió así, no porque lo haya planeado. Sino que escribí 60 canciones, y elegí 20 para cada disco, y eso desembocó en dos álbumes".
Tal vez provoque curiosidad el título del disco. Al respecto, la cantante manifiesta: "Todo lo que pienso lo termino diciendo siempre". Pero el concepto puede también tener ciertas influencias freudianas, "La etapa a la que los seres humanos estamos oralmente fijados es la primera etapa de nuestra vida, la más primaria, la más instintiva, la más animal. Creo que sigo en esa etapa, la más animal, sobre todo en este momento, que me siento más en contacto conmigo misma, con el ser animal que hay dentro de mí, con la mujer, más salvaje y más primaria, la universal, la que somos todas; con esa que cada vez estoy conociendo más".

Cantante Colombiana Shakira “Fijación oral”
" “Fijación oral”, que saldrá a la venta el 7 de junio, es el primer álbum de Shakira en español en siete años"
Regalos para Colombia — “La tortura”, un sencillo incluido en el último trabajo de la cantautora colombiana Shakira, “Fijación oral”, empezó a escucharse ayer en las emisoras americanas, revelaron fuentes de Sony Music. El disco completo, sin embargo, se pondrá a la venta el próximo 7 de junio, y su versión en inglés, “Oral Fixation”, saldrá en noviembre, agregaron las mismas fuentes.
Según la casa de discos, “La tortura” es “la punta de lanza” de la estrella colombiana antes del lanzamiento oficial del álbum completo.
“Fijación oral” es el primer álbum de Shakira en español en siete años, y el primer lanzamiento en inglés de la cantante de “Pies descalzos” desde “Laundry Service”, que vendió 13 millones de copias en todo el mundo, añadieron las fuentes.
Shakira canta a dúo con el español Alejandro Sanz y, en otra canción, con el argentino Gustavo Ceratti, que fue líder de la desaparecida banda Soda Estereo, y en el mismo trabajo hay ritmos como el “bossa nova”, el “reggae” y el “hip hop".
En Bogotá se informó de que la canción del lanzamiento inicial no fue entregada en los tradicionales discos compactos sino que se transmite desde Nueva York, vía digital, a las emisoras en los cinco continentes.
Con ese sistema se tratará de evitar que se anticipen copias piratas “y sorpresas de lanzamientos anticipados”, señalaron algunas emisoras de radio.
La casa de discos destaca también que “Fijación oral” fue producido por Rick Rubin, reconocido por sus aportes a grandes estrellas y agrupaciones.
