Synopsis

Amazon.com
The title of Shakira's breakthrough 1996 album translates to "naked feet," which somehow captures the combination of playfulness and earnestness that marks the music. Recorded when she was 18, Pies Descalzos finds the Colombian singer-songwriter striving to find her own style. The disc moves through dance pop and dance-hall-lite before landing on a convincing-enough guitar-rock amalgam. It's a likable record, but Shakira seemed to acknowledge its weaknesses when she chose only one of its songs for inclusion on the later (and much superior) MTV Unplugged. --Rickey Wright

La escencia de los comienzos de Shakira...!!
Beatme | San Francisco, Cordoba, Argentina | 11/02/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Este CD demuestra q la calidad musical no pasa por el presupuesto que se le otorge... Desde Estoy Aqui hasta Se quiere, se mata, pasando por 11 estupendas canciones prevalece el verdadero Rock latino...



1. Estoy Aqui: parece ser un trabalengua pero es muy divertida y las connotaciones vocales nunca dejan de sorprender... es el primer single y llego al #2 en Billboard Hot Latin Tracks en 1996...



2. Antologia: quizas la mejor balada de Shakira hasta el dia de hoy... la letra no parece haber estado hecha por una adolescente de solo 17 años... al cantar "porque todo el tiempo que pase junto a ti dejo tejido su hilo dentro de mi"... realmente conmovedora!...



3. Un Poco de Amor: con una onda reggue, y con simples estrofas en ingles es una cancion q te hara mover... la letra es muy pegadiza!...



4. Quiero: una cancion q trata sobre una chica obsesiva por su amor... "quiero excederme perseguirte pretenderte, quiero amarte noche y dia, quiero gastarme la vida"... comienzan las primeras frases sarcasticas en sus letras!...



5. Te necesito: una hermosa cancion para dedicarle a tu pareja... el sonido es muy calmo y la letra arrasadora!



6. Te espero sentada: siguiendo con la tematica del amor y romantisimo obsesivo, Shakira parece cada vez cortarse mas la venas en sus letras... esta por ejemplo relata a una mujer intuitiva que espera a su pareja por horas, aunque sepa que nunca va a llegar... al final se escuchan unos susurros de shaky...



7. Vuelve: Cancion rockera, con una letra muy inteligente que relata (con sarcasmo e ironia) como queda una mujer cuando desea q su amor regrese... la guitarra electrica es un elemento fundamental en la cancion... mucha potencia!...



8. Pies descalzos, sueños blancos: la cancion mas rock del album y quiza la mejor, cancion de critica social a toda la gente hipocrita y abstracta q no se percata de la realidad y prefiere mirar para otro lado... la cancion mas ironica del album!...



9. Pienso en ti: PURA ACAPELLA... Shakira demuestra su capacidad vocal en una cancion a pura acapella que te dejara sin aliento... al principio parece una cancion religiosa, pero al final conmueve gratamente!...



10. Donde estas Corazon: la primer cancion que se dio a conocer del album... fue incluidas en un CD colombiano en 1996 llamado "Llena tu cabeza de rock" y fue un hecho sin precedentes... tanto que grabo 2 videos clips de esta cancion para exportartla a toda latinoamerica...



11. Se quiere, se mata: la cancion mas controversial del album... quien nunca opino del ABORTO???... Shakira en una mezcla de ironias y realidad nos deja en claro su oposicion al mismo!...

Best Album She has Ever Done!

"Back in the day where Shakira was real and had a unique style, I should know since in Colombia everyone has watched her since day one. I remember the first time I heard this wonderful album... It was like so personal, poetic, philosophical and UNIQUE... At this time Shakira was hardly known, she was not famous at all. But soon in Colombia her style was being recognized. I declare that the most artistic stage in Shakira was with this album. It really set her apart, now as you hear new albums of the modern Shakira.. You are like where is this girl I once had known or at least I thought I knew. Everything was fine even when DONDE ESTA LOS LADRONES came out, after that all her work in my opinion has been worthless, is like she has lost the person she once was, the typical Colombian girl dreamer... I mean she forgot her roots... You can see it in her songs... It's just sad... In Colombia she is remembered for PIES DESCALZOS album.. She is loved for it, now see for yourself and ask for Shakira.. They will say: We love old Shakira, this new one she is pretending to be in the past years, we dont know about and want nothing to do with it. I state that my favorite album of all times in general even including other artists is PIES DESCALZOS, you have to hear it attentively and relate to it, to truly understand it's meaning, that new songs just dont have it.



~ Stephanie ~ OLD SHAKIRA'S FAN, GIRL WE WANT YOU AS REAL AS YOU STARTED, DONT LET YOUR LIFESTYLE CHANGE THE DREAMER, FULL OF HOPE FRIENDLY PERSON YOU ONCE WERE... IT WILL REFLECT IN YOUR SONGS..."
