Fijacion Oral (Vol. 1)

Music Anyone else notice that Shakira has a new album out? Just listening to it now and what a wierd beast it is with all the mix of French and Spanish lyrics and musicality which flies wildy between the Toyah of the Eighties and the Bibel Gilberto of this decade. More in the style of her earlier work -- can't imagine what people who bought this because they liked Laundary Service are making of it ... apparently Vol. 2 will turn up in November in the English language. I'd expect there to be a bigger publicity push behind that ...

A few years ago, I saw her shooting a music video in Miami. She was dancing in the rain...or rather, a hose that was spraying water in a fake deluge. It's a wonder they didn't get electrocuted.

There is a bonus dvd with this featuring a video for one of the tracks. It begins with Shakira half naked and covered in mud in which she dances in such a way that her breasts vibrate in time with the music. I've never seen anything like it.

Yep, bellydancing is *cool*. I keep telling people but nothing short of shaking boobies will convince people.
