Global pop icon Shakira has teamed up with Spotify to mark the anniversaries of two of her most influential albums ‘Pies Descalzos’ and ‘Fijación Oral’ (Vol. 1 and 2) — through a special edition of the Spotify Anniversaries series. The initiative celebrates the singer’s remarkable career milestones while introducing her timeless music to a new generation of fans worldwide.

According to a press release from Spotify, the series revisits Shakira’s early musical journey, beginning with Pies Descalzos, which was released 30 years ago and established her as a major voice across Latin America. The album featured enduring hits such as “Estoy Aquí,” “¿Dónde Estás Corazón?” and “Antología,” tracks that helped define Latin pop for an entire generation.

A decade later, Shakira expanded her global footprint with ‘Fijación Oral’, Vol. 1 and Oral Fixation Vol. 2, a bilingual project that showcased her artistic versatility and cemented her status as a global superstar. These albums produced some of her most celebrated songs — including “La Tortura” (featuring Alejandro Sanz), “Día de Enero,” “Las de la Intuición,” and the chart-topping “Hips Don’t Lie,” which remains one of the most streamed tracks in her catalog.

‘Fijación Oral’, Vol. 1 also earned Shakira her third GRAMMY® Award, winning Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album, and swept four categories at the Latin GRAMMY Awards, including Album of the Year, Song and Record of the Year for “La Tortura,” and Best Female Pop Vocal Album.

In the Spotify Anniversaries episodes, Shakira shares personal insights, untold stories, and reflections on the creative process behind these defining records. The first episode features exclusive performances, including a special rendition of “Hips Don’t Lie” with Colombian artist Beele and British singer Ed Sheeran, blending nostalgic melodies with contemporary flair. EPs of these new versions are being released exclusively on Spotify.

Together, ‘Pies Descalzos’ and ‘Fijación Oral’ (Vol. 1 and 2) have surpassed 6.1 billion global streams, including more than 955 million in the United States, proving their enduring relevance. Interestingly, Gen Z listeners now account for more than half of ‘Fijación Oral’s total streams — a testament to Shakira’s cross-generational influence.
