Dónde Están Los Ladrones?

Released

The fate of Shakira’s stolen suitcase — which contained coveted lyrics she planned to incorporate into her then-fourth album — remains one of pop music’s great mysteries. The 1998 album the Colombian musician wound up releasing instead, Dónde Están Los Ladrones, became a pop sensation that garnered her a Grammy nomination. Shakira’s deftness for penning witticisms, singular vocal delivery, and knack for surprises (such as “Inevitable,” which morphs from a ballad into a barnburner within seconds) made for a listen that continues to thrill decades later.
