Shakira feat. Alejandro Sanz - La Tortura

Musicvideo of Shakira feat. Alejandro Sanz with La Tortura.

"La Tortura" (English: The Torture) is a Latin pop-Reggaeton song performed by singers Shakira and Alejandro Sanz. It was recorded for Shakira's sixth studio album Fijación Oral Vol. 1, released in June 7, 2005.
The song was released as a single in October 2004 (see 2004 in music), and achieved large-scale success on different radio and chart formats, becoming the most famous Spanish language track of both singers worldwide and the fourth most successful song in Shakira's career.



The music video for "La Tortura", directed by Michael Haussman, has a simple plot: from his new girlfriend's apartment, Sanz spies on to Shakira as she is walking down the street holding a bag of onions on her way to her own apartment, which is on the other side of the street from Sanz' girlfriend's apartment.
When Shakira enters her apartment, she changes clothes.
From that moment on, Sanz remembers things the two had done in the past as a couple, while Shakira reveals her alter-ego dancing erotically on the building's roof, covered with black paint.
The choreography of the music video was made by Jamie King and Shakira herself.

The music video is in itself somewhat notable, as it was the first time MTV showed a whole episode of their Making the Video series in another language (with English subtitles).
It was also the second Spanish-language video ever to enter in Total Request Live's countdown, and peaked at number four on the countdown.
It can also be noted that the video for "La Tortura" was one of the first in the Spanish-language to get heavy rotation on mainstream American and Canadian music channels such as MTV, VH1 and MuchMusic as in all almost over world yahoo sites.
The remix version of the song, known as "La Tortura (Shaketon Remix)", has it own video (also directed by Haussman) featuring some previously unseen scenes.
This video can be seen on Oral Fixation Volumes 1 & 2 Bonus DVD.

You were so right!..the way she dance is a little ridiculous. So boring to see someone always trying to do something again ,and again but never could do something that really matters..

[ruthtejadac]

Seamos objetivos. nadie que ya esta hecho y derecho querria ser como shakira,quien siempre trata y tratara de ser alguien que nunca lograra ser,,solo fijate,siempre esta imitando a los artistas que realmente lo son..uuummmh?
