ShakiraPensas that from then on was an absolute success? Ironic mistake. His first album name "Magic," recorded in 1991 when she was only 14 years, failed roundabout, much as I had not found its audience. He returned to the studio to release the album "Peligro," recorded in 1993. This, despite having achieved higher sales and begin to garner more fans, it was not a great success that would allow him to dream of a place in the sun.
