The English-language Oral Fixation Vol. 2 finds Shakira reclaiming some of the bite she showcased on 1998's smashing Donde Estan Los Ladrones? The Colombian rock goddess is making up for lost time: this is her second disc of new material in 2005. It's quite a feat, considering the four-year gap since Laundry Service, her scattershot, English-language debut album. Oral Fixation Vol. 2 is more mature and better focused than the spin-cycle pop of that 2001 disc. Kick-off track "How Do You Do" starts with a haunting reading of "The Lord's Prayer" before launching into a risky questioning of faith and religion. Shakira touches on the highs and lows of celebrity on a trio of tracks--the bittersweet "Your Embrace," the guitar-driven "Costume Makes the Clown," and the disco-fied, politically charged "Timor." Selfish men and failed relationships--two oft-mentioned topics of interest--anchor much of Oral Fixation Vol. 2. First single "Don't Bother" is a bitter ode to strength, jealousy, and survival; "Dreams for Plans" is a wistful collage of relationship memories; and Carlos Santana slides a sexy guitar riff under soulful standout track "Illegal." The purple haze of Prince hangs over "Animal City," one of the disc's most inventive moments. It's a free-wheeling melange of rock riffs, electronic accents, mariachi horns and confident vocals. Two songs from Fijacion Oral Vol. 1 make appearances--the somber "Something" and "The Day and the Time," which improves greatly upon its Spanish counterpart. Vol. 1, while at times enjoyable, was a portrait of a gifted artist struggling to keep her footing and retain her confidence. Oral Fixation Vol. 2 finds Shakira embracing the eclectic beauty within. It's a wonderful sound. --Joey Guerra

Listen to Shakira!.......2007-07-16

I have always liked Shakira. When I heard "Whenever, wherever"...I though: that's a great artist. She is not only good singer but also very beautfiul. The album cover is very beautiful this time and it has a message: a woman with an apple...but what is that child?

Well, I think this is the best Shakira album ever!!! It has very beautiful songs. The single "Don't Bother" isn't the best song in this album, not even nearly. This is one of those album I like to hear from the beginning to the end, not just three or two songs. The first track "How Do You Do" is a great track! It starts with a great "intro". It is the best Shakira song I've ever heard. "Don't Bother" is a good song but not so special. "Illegal", "The day And the Time" are great Shakira songs. "Animal City" is a little bit more rock. The album has great melodies and rhythms and great lyrics. This was and it is still a great listening experience. I hope many people find this album. "Timor" is a great closing track - but this album has also 10 other great songs.
Stars: How Do You Do, Something, Illegal, Animal City, The Day And the Time

Volume 1 gets the prize........2007-07-06

I like Shakira's music most of the time. Even tough I have her whole cd collection (the ones that you can find in stores because her first and second are impossible find). Not all were for me good. "PIES DESCALZOS" next with "FIJACION ORAL Vol.1" are the best.
In 2005 after being tired of hearing her ALL THE TIME on radio or TV I bought "Fijacion ORAL Vol.1" and I must say that I was impressed, the cd was really, really good, so of course when the second volume was released I bought it without hesitation but this time I wasn't very thrilled and I think that also the public had the same feeling for the cd as I did. The cd debuted on Billboard's Top 200 albums at #5 where it peakd and flopped very fast in almost every music chart. The first single "DON'T BOTHER" was good but nothing special and didn't make either an impression (Top 50 on Billboard's Hot 100). From my point of view the best songs on the original version were "HOW DO YOU DO" a very strong song that sounds very good along with "ANIMAL CITY", the English version next to Cerati of "DIA ESPECIAL/DAY AND THE TIME" from the Spanish cd and finally the biggest track for me, "ILLEGAL" featuring Santana on lead guitar. In overall the cd sounds weak and maybe Shakira or her record company noticed that and along with the poor selling they decided to re-release the album with a new song that made the album see brightness for a brief moment with the mega hit "HIPS DON'T LIE" one of the biggest singles of 2006 but that wasn't enough to keep the album from falling again to the darkness. The third single "ILLEGAL" went nowhere and that's a pity beacuse of the great track it is but I think that the reason why it didn't hit was because even tough Shakira has a great voice, that doesn't mean that you don't get tired of listening it and "HIPS DON'T LIE" was good for her but it also made people tired of her voice. Maybe this happends to me beacuse I live in a country that speaks Spanish and I've been listening to her music non-stop ever sience "LA TORTURA" which is a very good song and I believe that it's going to be a classic.
Anyway, I think that the album is not that good really, just a couple of songs are good. If you speak Spanish I would recommend "FIJACION ORAL Vol.1" or "PIES DESCALZOS".

The best album of the year .......2007-06-21

Shakira transcends her beauty to make fantastic music. I like classic rock and I love this album. Every song is terrific. Buy it today

MUY BUENO, PERO..........2007-05-07

Me gusta el disco, en general, pero creo que Shakira puedo haber hecho un mejor trabajo; yo tengo toda su discografia, y elogio brillantes trabajos como LAUNDRY SERVICE, DONDE ESTAN LOS LADRONES y FIJACION ORAL 1 (donde hasta nos demostro que puede cantar samba y reggaeton); las canciones son bonitas, pero no hay alguna pieza que sea trascendental... me refiero a que sea de caracter "INOLVIDABLE", como decir ANTOLOGIA, YOU'RE THE ONE o MOSCAS EN LA CASA, bellisimas canciones que demuestran ese talento inigualable de Shakira; ¿que paso con esa brillantez? no niego que el disco es muy bueno, pero le falto ese "toque" tan especial que todos sus antecesores han poseido.

Not as good as expected.......2007-04-11

Would not recommend this CD. Some of the music is really horrible.

Colombian superstar Shakira's first English-language disc, Laundry Service, carries the pointed credit "Entire Album Produced by Shakira." That might be a signal to U.S. fans who helped two of her previous discs go platinum under the media radar--a sign that this planned breakthrough has more to offer than the input of a score of image makers and outside writers. And it does; even the occasional clunky lyric comes directly from her overflowing heart. Laundry Service's meld of danceable pop and rockier ideas and textures follows the similar path of the singer-songwriter's previous work. Indeed, for all its high-end production values, the record is ultimately one of the least glossy crossover vehicles imaginable. Despite an occasional lean toward Celine Dion territory ("Underneath Your Clothes"), it has a freshness that's sure to win over new listeners even after the first single, the sly "Whenever, Wherever," has reached the saturation point. While still not fully formed as an artist, she's getting close to something of her own--something that may flower after she dumps the vocal Alanis-isms. For now, it's still a pleasure to watch her grow. --Rickey Wright

May I present the birth of La Shaki Rubia! [translation: Blonde Shakira].......2007-07-18

When I first heard this album, it took me a while to adjust to Shakira's distinctive bent, edgy intonation and raw yowling, along with pure, unbridled passion. The year was 2001. Shakira Mebarek had already spent years as a well-known singer/songwriter in Mexico, Central and South America. It was time that the Yanquis get acquainted with her [i.e. music lovers in the United States]. So, Shakira penned her English-language debut, LAUNDRY SERVICE [later released as SERVICIO DE LAVANDERIA, to her Spanish-speaking audience]. Her combination of Latin, rock and Arabic rhythms proved just as infectious in English (one of the three languages she speaks fluently) as in Spanish.

Some of the best songs on this album include "Objection [Tango]," with a Spanish version "Te Aviso, Te Anuncio," and "Whenever, Wherever," with it's spanish counterpart, "Suerte." What's more, Shakira showed her range as a soulful pop singer in slower ballads like "Underneath Your Clothes," and "The One." What's more, who can forget her sultry, sexy "Que Me Quedes Tu"? This intelligent and accomplished singer [then twenty-four years old] showed us her singing chops and her true ability to connect audiences of all backgrounds and lanaguages together with her tunes. Though, I must say that, if pressed, her best album by far is DONDE ESTAN LOS LADRONES? [her 1998 release], LAUNDRY SERVICE is a very appealing CD to own. I definitely reccomend it, six years later.

Great cross over!.......2007-05-11

i have been a shakira fan long before she decided to crossover to the american market and this is an excellent way to do so....i love hearing the english version of ojos asi and getting to know shakira in a different light and by knowing all the words she's singing and the meaning behind them.

PODEROSA EN AMBOS IDIOMAS!!!.......2007-05-06

Shakira siempre fue mi artista latina favorita; es increible lo que alguien con gran talento puede hacer cuando tiene una gran confianza en si mismo y gente que lo apoye y crea en el; este es para mi el mejor disco de Shakira, donde ella lo ha entregado practicamente todo; canciones como TANGO, SUERTE (WHENEVER) y TE DEJO MADRID son autenticos bombazos de puro rock; lindas baladas como UNDERNEATH YOUR CLOTHES, YOU'RE THE ONE, melodias pop impresionantes como FOOL, QUE ME QUEDES TU, en total, y hasta musica al puro estilo hindu como EYES LIKE YOURS; este disco es indispensable para no solo los fans de Shakira, sino para todo fan del pop en general (por cierto, que bien pronuncia el idioma ingles).

A guilty pleasure.......2007-05-02

I really don't care much for pop music, much less latin pop music when that crossover explosion happened (which I completely blame on Ricky Martin for creating) but I'll make an exception with Shakira's "Laundry Service". The first time I actually heard her music was when the music video for "Whatever, Whenever" came out six years ago. The song was pure ear candy with its infectious pop hooks. So I eventually bought Shakira's "Laundry Service". Much to my surprise I actually enjoyed the cd. The music is filled with catchy pop/rock hooks without being overly polished. I think the songwriting is kinda weak and at times silly. I thought Shakira sounds the best singing in her native tongue than in english but that's just me. Another flaw is Shakira's vocals which is somewhat shrill at times but otherwise this album is a fun, guilty pleasure of mine.

Excellent Sound, a Good First Crossover!.......2006-11-25

This is an excellent first English Language disc by an artist who was already well established in the Latin world. The rock sounds are here especially with Underneath Your Clothes, which sounds a lot like Aerosmith's Dream On. Those of you who enjoyed her superior prior works (Pies Descalzo and Donde Estan Los Ladrones) may be a little disappointed in the commerical direction that this one went (take the pop candy song Whenever). Also some of the English lyrics are really non-sensical and we are not sure what the title Laundry Service has to do with anything on the disc. This is what prevented me from giving the disc 5 stars. Shakira has a good sense for great sound and music is her strong point over lyrics. But her Lebonese roots engrained in many of her sounds gives her music a unique feel to it that will keep her as a megastar for many years to come!

For having waited 5 years for a CD to come out I think she did a good job, but nothing really blew my mind other than La Tortura, No, and Hips Don't Lie. I'm glad que yo espere antes de comprar los dos Cds individualmente because the deluxe edition comes with all the songs plus a bonus DVD with all the videos for the two albums except La Pared and Illegal.

The best...EVER.......2007-03-27

If your reading this then you are obviously contemplating whether or not to buy this Item.. DO IT. It has both of her great CD's and I'm sure everyone else that wrote a review talks about the music..

SO I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT THE DVD. The DVD is a must have for Shaki fans, It has so many great videos and for real fans... they gotta get it. It sucks watching your old VHS recordings off of fuse doesn't it? NOW you can have it DVD quality.. IT's the greatest. VERY GOOD DVD... The La tortura video is great kicks off the DVD.. FROM THERE ON IT's just amazing until the end! Her live performances are the best she has ever done.

I'm done with my bad review lol.

SHAKIRA IS GREAT. WE HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO HER AND ENJOYING HER SONGS SINCE SHE WAS 15. WE LIKE BOTH THE SPANISH AND ENGLISH CDs. AND IT WAS A GREAT PRICE. THE VIDEOS WERE A NICE BONUS.

Shakira has become a master at her craft........2007-02-21

This beautiful lady has done it again. With her talent and her voice, she has my vote. With the exception of only two songs, I love every song she wrote, and this is unusual for me to like that many on two albums. Of course the DVD brings out her mastery in the art of the visual. To see her is to love her!

It's thrilling--in any language--to hear new music from Colombian superstar Shakira. And it's been a long time coming. Shakira's English crossover opus, Laundry Service, was released in 2001. The Spanish Donde Estan Los Ladrones came three years before that. Fijacion Oral, Volumen 1 is the first of two new discs; an English counterpart is due in November. Shakira's bleating, biting voice is in fine form, and it gives the material an electric urgency. She's girlish and innocent during the glittering "Dia de Enero" and sensual and seductive amid the thundering beats of "Lo Imprescindible." A talented stable of producers, including former Soda Stereo vocalist Gustavo Cerati, has swathed Shakira in rhythm-based arrangements. But the album's best moments come when Shakira channels her inner--and innate--rock goddess. "La Tortura" is a hurts-so-good break-up duet with Alejandro Sanz, and "Escondite Ingles" rides a beach-party guitar groove. --Joey Guerra

FIJACION DE LA SHAKIROMANIA.......2007-05-06

Otro gran trabajo de una poderosa artista; con este disco Shakira incursiona en nuevas facetas de su carrera, como el cantar en duetos con Alejandro Sanz (otro grande) en LA TORTURA, y hacerse acompanar de Gustavo Ceratti (lider de Soda Estereo) en DIA ESPECIAL; tambien incursiona nuevos generos como la samba en OBTENER UN SI (como si fuera una melodia tipica de sergio Mendes y Brazil'66) y el reggaeton en LA TORTURA; siempre sorprendiendonos con impactantes baladas como TUS PUPILAS y LA PARED y deleitandonos con melodias romanticas como DIA DE ENERO (la cual se la dedica a su novio) y baladas rock como la tremenda NO (que gran balada!!), Shakira no deja de sorprendernos con excelentes discos !!!

Eh...............2006-11-11

I have to say that after I heard international No. 1 "La Tortura" I just had to go out and purchase Fijacion Oral to see how amazing it is. Shakira's trademark bleat is in fine form here--unfortunately "La Tortura" is really the only track that has hit potential. Fijacion Oral is a consistent release but nothing remotely approaches that catchy lead single. Some songs get pretty close, though, like the rock-oriented "La Pared," disco-infused "Las De La Intuicion," the sweet "Dia De Enero" and the thundering "Lo Imprescindible." Despite its obvious flaws Shakira's signature sound pulls the bland material through well enough that you'll find yourself enjoying Fijacion in its entirety.

Wow, this is a great record! I was hipped to it on The World radio show and bought it as an adjunct to my recent interest in Fania. This may be the best thing to come from Colombia since Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Discos Fuentes offered the best of the local musical styles by top-flight musicians. Classic and ahead of it's time, it's a challenge to figure the exact moment of each impeccably well recorded track. These guys may be South America's answer to Atlantic Records.

I anxiously await volume 2. Please!

The artists gathered together here hail from nations and cultures noted for the growing and export of coffee. As with this CD's companion release, Music from the Tea Lands, one senses the possibility of lucrative product tie-ins, but part of the proceeds from the album are earmarked for charity and any catchy idea that gets the music out there is a good thing. Like the luscious drink itself, the tunes come in many intensities and flavors, ranging from a light-as-air ditty from Peru, to the more complex vocal stylings of Colombia's Claudia Gomez, to Ricardo Lemvo and Makina Loca's earthy Afro-Cuban Congolese rumba. The album is a lively and fascinating travelogue, making landfall in Cuba, Kenya, Brazil, Uganda, Mexico, Zimbabwe, Costa Rica, Hawaii, and Peru. As with many other Putumayo projects, aside from its musical pleasures, this set would make an entertaining and educational experience for younger family members. --Christina Roden

If this album is like coffee,it's decaf.It lacks the punch to keep one awake for an early morning drive.I'd be asleep at the wheel.

I used to have this CD,but I took it to a used CD store.

Its few highlights are Susana Baca,Ernest Ranglin,Thomas Mapfumo,James 'Bla'Pahinui&Ayub Ogada.The rest are easy-listening Buena Vista Social Club.

When it comes to Putumayo's themed compilations,I reccomend "Gardens of Eden" (sadly,it's out of print),"Music from the Tea Lands"(EXCELLENT!),"Asian Lounge".I am looking forward to "Music from the Wine Lands"--considering I live in the Wine Country.Hopefully,"Music from the Wine Lands" won't be snooze-inducing like this one.

Chill out with a cup of coffee or a Mojito.............2005-08-05

Good Putumayo CD. Several very good tracks on this CD. 'Guajira Bonita' is fantastic, and reminds me of my trip to Peru hiking the Inca trail. Tracks 2, 3 are good as well, and then proceed to the wonderful Susana Baca with her bold, beautiful voice on 'Maria Lando'. 'Below the Bassline' is a wonderfully mellow Reggae sounding instrumental track that brings me back to all carribbean trips. 'Dilema' reminds me of my salsa adventure to Cuba, and 'Esa Noche' is a very good instrumental track with fantastic guitar that makes me yearn for returning to Mexico City or Oaxaca. Track 9, 10 are good as well. 'Este Son' will help you chill out with your cup of coffee. Highly recommend this CD if you enjoy Latin music, as well as international music. The pamphlet submitted with the CD about the artists is informtive and only adds to the enjoyment of the CD. A Putumayo Must!

One of the best world music compilataions I've heard.......2004-01-25

Amazing collection of songs - not one is a throwaway. If you're looking to break into "world music" the Putumayo collections are a great starting point.

Great Album.......2007-07-13

I like every song in this album, specialy "Tu" and "Moscas en la Casa". I think is a very representative album of Shakira for it is the Bridge betwin her old and new Stile.

Altough comparing the song "Octavo Dia" from this album and "Timor" from her album "Oral Fixation" you can notice the way Shakira's mind and conception of the wold has evolved. It gives you something to meditate about how your own life has change thru the years.

one of my shaki faves.......2007-05-11

i love this cd...great for when you're exercising, having fun with friends or just chillin' by yourself.

TODO UN BOMBAZO!!!!.......2007-05-06

Este es el segundo album de mi artista latina favorita; una verdadera joya discografica, donde el talento de esta niña-mujer se funde en melodias de su propia manufactura, ¡¡¡y que melodias!!!, desde puro rock como CIEGA SORDOMUDA, SI TE VAS, preciosas baladas inolvidables como MOSCAS EN LA CASA, TU, SOMBRA DE TI, temas de indole politico como DONDE ESTAN LOS LADRONES, OCTAVO DIA y su incursion en la musica oriental OJOS ASI (cuya version en ingles puede escucharse en LAUNDRY SERVICE), todo el disco rebosa talento Shakireano hasta su maxima expresion; es para mi el segundo mejor despues del Laundry service; si no tienes musica de Shakira, este disco es un muy buen comienzo!!

A MUST HAVE ALBUM!!!.......2007-04-03

This has to be my favorite Shakira album. Every track is a winner. Not a lame effort among them. STANDOUT tracks include CIEGA, SORDOMUDA and the unbeatable OJOS ASI. I'd have to say, in my opinion, OJOS ASI is one of the most unique and creative songs of all time. FANTASTIC! Were I to be stranded on a desert island with only one CD, a player and a shipload of batteries, DONDE ESTAN LOS LADRONES would be the CD I'd want.

It's one of those rare pop albums that is a classic from start to finish. For a fantastic "en vivo" performance of OJOS ASI, I'd recommend Shakira: Live & Off The Record. AWESOME! For a really unique mariachi version of CIEGA, SORDOMUDA, check out Shakira - MTV Unplugged. Might not sound like a good idea, but when you see it, you'll LOVE it!

All in all, DONDE ESTAN LOS LADRONES rates FIVE STARS--more if I could give 'em!!

fantastic latin music.......2007-03-17

Shakira
only as she can do it,,,"hips dont lie" very good cd this was one of her 1st....good stuff....

The heavy salsa rythmn is inspiring and you automatically feel like dancing. There are songs on this album that I am familar with from dance classes and from hitting the popular salsa joints. If you're really into salsa, this album is for you. The drums, the whitsles, the rythmn, it's just great!!!!

Simply Perfect.......2007-06-16

This is the best CD along with Donde Estan Los Ladrones that Shakira has ever produced. Every song is wonderful; there are no filler tracks just plain execptional music. Viva Shakira and Colombia!!!

brilliant early work..........2007-05-11

...of the now international superstar....you don't need to know spanish to feel the sentiments of the songs, fall in love with the work nor admire the talents of this artist.

NACE UNA ESTRELLA..........2007-05-06

este es el disco que marca el inicio de la ERA SHAKIRA en toda america; este album supuso su internacionalizacion (sus dos primeros albumes no lograron popularizarse en el exterior aun) y su rapido ascenso a la cima de su fama; con este album, esta mujercita demostro ser GRANDE ENTRE LOS GRANDES; con sus primaros hitazos como ESTOY AQUI, PIES DESCALZOS, DONDE ESTAS CORAZON, temas romanticos como ANTOLOGIA, TE NECESITO, PIENSO EN TI, y temas de indole social como SE QUIERE SE MATA, incluso un poco de hip hop en UN POCO DE AMOR, QUIERO y blues en TE ESPERO SENTADA; este gran trabajo discografico fue EL PEQUENO GRAN PASO DE UNA PEQUENA GRAN ARTISTA...

fantastic..........2007-03-16

Shakira has a wonderful emotion in this album. Her voice is just a joy to listen to, whether you speak Spanish or not. I loved the mix of various beats in her her music. It's hard to pick a favorite song from this album, but especially love Antologia and un Poco de Amor.

Her 1st CD.......2007-01-11

I think this was her first CD. It came out before she was big in the English community. Me encanta esta CD!

Average customer rating: Nice album! What a great Colombian rock I LOVE ANDREA What's with the 1 stars!?!?!?!?!?!? Giving 1 star to this album is so insensitive!

Countless thousands of non-English speakers cram stadiums and theaters all over the world, so why (oh why) does it seem so difficult for U.S. audiences to embrace widely a band as clearly worthy of attention as Aterciopelados? Andrea Echeverri sings in Spanish, sure, but the band revels in melding the instrumental palettes of South America with a sharply smart rock--just spin the trumpets and accordions in "Don Dinero"--so that their tunes are eminently physical. They keep their ears on the dances that popular musics have triggered in their native Colombia (and across South America), and then Aterciopelados delves deeply into straight-up rock & roll, hard-hit drums, and loud guitars. The band has changed shapes over the years, going from a punk-rock scuttle to an electronics-tinged brand pop--with Echeverri's declarative mid-range delivery always in top form. Oye implores you to listen, and you ought to. --Andrew Bartlett

Album Description

The multiple Grammy-nominated Colombian pop-alternative act returns with their first studio album in five years. Their previous Grammy-nominated release, "Gozo Poderoso" scanned 40,000+ units and sold 80,000 copies in the US. Co-founders Andrea Echeverri and Hector Buitrago both released attention-grabbing solo albums (Echeverri's received two Grammy nominations) in the past year, further building anticipation for the band's new studio set. Produced by Buitrago and mixed by Thom Russo (Johnny Cash, Juanes, Kinky).

Customer Reviews:

Nice album!.......2007-05-21

This is another nice album by Aterciopelados. Not their best but still highly recommended.

What a great Colombian rock.......2007-05-17

What can I say. every song is so well done.
If you like alternative music with good melodies, rhythm, great percussion, guitars, latin influence, new sounds and songs that make you feel re-born. This music is for you. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the letters...music is enough.

I LOVE ANDREA.......2007-01-09

I LOVE ANDREA ECHEVERRI, I IDENTIFY WITH HER, WE GREW UP IN THE SAME PLACE, WE ARE ABOUT THE SAME AGE, BY THE WAY, MY NAME IS ANDREA TOO..., I JUST LOVE HER, SHE IS ECLECTIC AND THE LANGUAGE SHE USES TO EXPRESS HERSELF VIBRATES WITH ME..., I LOVE IT!

What's with the 1 stars!?!?!?!?!?!?.......2007-01-06

I can't seem to understand all the one star reviws but it sounds like they were all written by the same person to me. I found this album to be amazing and stayed up til 2 a.m. listening to it three times in a row!!! I don't know what CD the reviewers are listening to but there is certainly the same depth, melodies, rock and exploration as on past CDs. Bands change, people!!! Live with it! These are the songs of talented musicians who love what they do. Ignore the negative reviews and pick this one up. I guarantee you'll be hooked!!!

Giving 1 star to this album is so insensitive!.......2006-12-26

I mean: Aterciopelados are still flying high in the Inspiration department; both musically & lyrically.
The standout for me is DON DINERO,especially if you know spanish you will get caught up in the playfulness of its lyrics.
PACES & AL PARQUE remind me of mid-90s AterciopeLados. While OYE MUJER & INSOPORTABLE sound very GOZO PODEROSO/PIPA DE LA PAZ...
Out of all the Colombian exports people know more about Shakira and Juanes, yet, there is something so uniquely soothing about Aterciopelados'music! They are extremely inspired, I wish they got more exposure( only last week I saw their video for the very lovely COMPLEMENTO on MTV Latin-America)...Aterciopelados are in creative heaven right now, check this album out immediately, dismiss the 1-star reviews.
One more thing: try to catch Andrea Echeverri Live: she transfigures herself on stage, you have to see it and then believe it, she seems like she comes straight from heaven when she performs...alright!
