I've only been a Shakira fan for about 10 months but I feel as if I've been her fan for much longer. With 4 of her CDs and 2 other DVDs (that accompanied 2 of these CDs) I finally persuaded myself to get this DVD about 2 months ago. And I am glad I did so. Although I'm not the best at Spanish I was able to fully enjoy Shakira's numerous performances and all the bonus features. With the help of English subtitles I was finally able to find out what many of my favorite Shakira songs actually mean! But even before then I fell in love w/ Shakira's music and her songs. In an age of manufactured super stars Shakira shines through writing her own songs and music, producing her own albums, and blending cultures and languages from across the globe. Shakira's performances are an hour or so of cultural experiences. From the sensual and mouth-dropping performance of Ojos Asi in which Shakira displays her grand talent in the field of belly dancing to the Mexican mariachi version of Ciega Sordomuda to the tear-jerking Sombra de Ti this whole DVD brings the talent that Shakira beholds into your home. I highly recommend it. All of her performances are well executed and rehearsed and the money I paid for this DVD was truly worth it. Can't wait for 'Live & Off the Record' in 7 days! :)

This is the best DVD I've ever bought! My first exposure to Shakira was the single, "Whenever, Wherever". I thought she was just another pop singer and really wasn't that impressed. Then I caught the last two songs of this Unplugged performance and my life was forever changed. I don't care what kind of music you like (personally I hate pop music) Shakira is incrediable!!! The music is unbelievable and she is soooo hot with her red/brown hair. Thank you Shakira for recording this performance!!!

An innovative performer in the Latin pop music market, this is Shakira well before she showed up on any babe magazine's "100 Most [whatever]" list. Leave it to MTV to provide the best sound, best camera work, and best overall production value for this excellent concert. Whether or not you're familiar with Shakira's songs, I believe you'll be happy you watched this edition of "Unplugged."
Eleven songs were recorded for this show, which took place in August of 1999, ten of which came from her then latest album, "Donde Estan Los Ladrones?" Characteristic of a first-rate live performance, many of the songs had a different arrangement and/or changed instrumentation, with the result being a totally fresh feel to the numbers. Shakira's changing vocal texture and phrasing is what sets her apart from every other singer, and what injects the passion into her songs. Even though I don't understand much Spanish (I have yet to avail myself of the subtitle option), I can't help but pay close attention while she's singing. That's how cool her voice is.
The concert has some great surprises, a few of which were the accompaniment by mariachi band Los Mora Arriaga in "Ciega, Sordomuda"; the rearranged version of "Estoy Aqui" (the only song from the "Pies Descalzos" album); and the middle eastern influenced music and dance in "Ojos Asi" (not to be missed). There's so much that meets the eye during this performance.
DVD extras: you'll find the oft-included bio, discography, and photos, but the highlight by far is the half-hour "Behind the Camera" feature, which has interviews with Shakira, her collaborators and producers. Very well done.

Mtv Unpluuged first off is a great way to hear a artist like you never heard them before, and in this case Shakira shines,
Shakira has a innocent sensuality about her along with a power set of pipes , her voice is amazing, sharp clear and powerful,add these together and you have nothing less then a great DVD and concert, even if you dont understand Spanish, the music itself is entertaining, from upbeat tunes like CIEGA SORDOMUDA on to ballads like TU, Shakira delivers and a powerful crisp way, you can FEEL the PASSION in her music.
The only thing I could ask for more, is I wish it was longer.
I am Shakira fan from hearing her first CD .. "DO'NDE ESTAN LOS LADRONES, I also highly recommend her newer Cd .. LAUNDRY SERVICE,
which is in English. (Spanish or English she rocks !)
This is a very young and talented performer, I hope she releases Tour of the Mongoose DVD soon,
as it will combine all albums in to one great show.
This concert ( mtv unplugged) features mandolins ,harmonica, piano , several types of guitars , gongs and horns.
A truly great and entertaining concert with out a lot of mess, pure Shakira as she shines. Enjoy ! :]
