We know the world famous Colombian singer Shakira as someone who cleverly balances on the dividing line between Latin American pop music and the issues of the day. As a result, she has remained relevant since her international breakthrough in 2002, which is also evident from this CD and DVD. In the Palais Omnisport in Paris, the singer gives a show of heavenly proportions. The structure of her
… performance is professional, with the right variety of ballads and bangers, and the way she manages to play her French audience in their own language is clever. Calibrated songs like Whenever, Wherever are also played in refreshing arrangements. Still, Shakira also mimics a number of songs, which is no surprise with all those breathtaking dances that preclude the possibility of singing. This is no problem at all in a gigantic hall with thousands of people, but it is a bit dull at home on the couch. (JE)more
