Magia (Magic) was Shakira's debut album, recorded with Sony Colombia
in 1991 at the age of 13. The songs were penned by her from the time she
was 8. Her second album, Peligro (Danger), also featured songs written
entirely by Shakira. It was released in 1993 through Sony Colombia, when
Shakira was just 15.
Shakira returned to the music business in 1995 with the album Pies
Descalzos (Bare Feet), which established her commercial success. Her
album The Remixes was subsequently recorded and features remixes from the
songs on Pies Descalzos, with some songs re-recorded in Portuguese.
Collaborating with Gloria Estefan, Shakira wrote and recorded English versions of the
tracks from previous albums and composed new songs for her English
language debut album, Laundry Service. Although it was aimed at the
English language market, the rock and Spanish dance-influenced album also
features four Spanish songs. The album and its singles established
Shakira's musical presence in the mainstream North American market.
In October of 2002, she won 5 MTV Video Music Awards Latin America for
Best Female Artist, Best Pop Artist, Best Artist, Video of the Year and
Artist of the Year. At Aerosmith's MTV Icon in 2002, Shakira performed "Dude (Looks Like A
Lady)". Also in 2002, Shakira joined the likes of Celine Dion, Anastacia, Cher and the Dixie Chicks for VH1 Divas Live Las Vegas.
Fijacion Oral Vol. 1 was released on June 6, 2005 in Europe and on
June 7, 2005 in North America and Australia. The lead single "La Tortura"
("The Torture") eventually reached number one in Spain and number
twenty-three on on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, the highest position for a
Spanish song in the United States. Shakira's second English album Oral
Fixation Vol. 2 was released on November 29, 2005 in North America and
Australia, and also at this time in Continental Europe.
