Known for her aggressive, rock-oriented, Shakira has maintained a high level of creative control over their music, especially for a female artist, has written or co-author of almost all their materials, and also in the process gained a reputation as one of the most ambitiously poetic words of Latin music.

His 1991 debut album, Magia, was a song he wrote for five or six years, including some of his previous efforts. Even if it does not decompose at the international level, the recording has started making his name in the country. Dissatisfied with the pop inclinations of the results, in 1993, Peligro, Shakira changed direction for a while ‘, joining the cast of the Colombian soap opera El Oasis in 1994. Shakira She Wolf When Anastasia returned to recording in 1995, said a greater control over the direction of his music and worked more rock & roll rhythms – as well as some Arab colors – in her Latin pop material.
