Fritz the Cat is a 1972 American independent adult animated black comedy film written and directed by Ralph Bakshi in his feature film debut. Based on the comic strip by R. Crumb and starring Skip Hinnant, the film focuses on Fritz (Hinnant), a glib, womanizing and fraudulent cat in an anthropomorphic animal version of New York City during the mid-to-late 1960s. Fritz decides on a whim to drop out of college, interacts with inner city African American crows, unintentionally starts a race riot, and becomes a leftist revolutionary. The film is a satire focusing on American college life of the era, race relations, the free love movement and serves as a criticism of the countercultural political revolution and dishonest political activists.
The film had a troubled production history, as Crumb, who is politically left-wing, had disagreements with the filmmakers over the film's political content, which he saw as being critical of the political left. Produced on a budget of $700,000, the film was intended by Bakshi to broaden the animation market. At that time period, animation was seen predominantly as a children's medium. Bakshi envisioned animation as being a medium that could tell more dramatic or satirical storylines with larger scopes, dealing with more mature and diverse themes that would resonate with adults. Bakshi also wanted to establish an independent alternative to the films produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, which dominated the animation market due to a lack of independent competition.
The intention of featuring profanity, sex and drug use, particularly cannabis, provoked criticism from more conservative members of the animation industry, who accused Bakshi of attempting to produce a pornographic animated film, as the concept of adult animation was not widely understood at the time. The Motion Picture Association of America gave the film an X rating, making it the first American animated film to receive the rating, which was then predominantly associated with more arthouse films.
The film was highly successful, grossing over $90 million worldwide, making it one of the most successful independent films of all time. It earned significant critical acclaim in the 1970s, for its satire, social commentary and animations, although it also attracted some negative response accusing it of racial stereotyping and having an unfocused plot, and criticizing its depiction of graphic violence, profanity, sex and drug use in the context of an animated film. The film's use of satire and mature themes is seen as paving the way for future animated works for adults, including The Simpsons, South Park and Family Guy. A sequel, The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat (1974), was produced without Crumb's or Bakshi's involvement.
Plot:
In the 1960s, at Washington Square Park in Manhattan, hippies gather to perform protest songs. Fritz, a cat, and his friends show up in an attempt to meet girls. When a trio of attractive women walk by, Fritz and his friends exhaust themselves trying to get their attention, but are annoyed to find that the girls are more interested in the crow standing nearby. The girls attempt to flirt with the crow, making unintentionally condescending remarks about black people. After the crow snidely rebukes the girls and leaves, Fritz convinces the girls that he is a suffering soul and invites them to "seek the truth". They arrive at his friend's apartment, where a wild party is taking place. Since the other rooms are crowded, Fritz drags the girls into the bathroom and the four of them have an orgy in the bathtub. Meanwhile, two bumbling police officers (portrayed as pigs) arrive to raid the party. As they walk up the stairs, one of the party-goers finds Fritz and the girls in the bath tub. Several others jump in, pushing Fritz to the side where he takes solace in marijuana. The two officers break into the apartment, but find that it is empty because everyone has moved into the bathroom. Fritz takes refuge in the toilet when one of the pigs enters the bathroom and begins to beat up the partygoers. As the pig becomes exhausted, a stoned Fritz jumps out, grabs the pig's gun, and shoots the toilet, causing the water main to break and flooding everybody out of the apartment. The pigs chase Fritz down the street into a synagogue. Fritz manages to escape when the congregation gets up to celebrate the United States' decision to ship more weapons to Israel.
Fritz makes it back to his dormitory, where his roommates are too busy studying to pay attention to him. He decides to ditch his bore of a life and sets all of his notes and books on fire. The fire spreads throughout the dorm, finally setting the entire building ablaze. In a bar in Harlem, Fritz meets Duke the Crow at a pool table. After narrowly avoiding getting into a fight with the bartender, Duke invites Fritz to "bug out", and they steal a car, which Fritz drives off a bridge, leading Duke to save his life by grabbing onto a railing. The two arrive at the apartment of a drug dealer named Bertha, whose cannabis joints increase Fritz's libido. While fornicating with Bertha, he realizes that he "must tell the people about the revolution". He runs off into the city street and incites a riot, during which Duke is shot and killed by one of the pig officers.
Fritz hides in an alley where his older fox girlfriend, Winston Schwartz, finds him and drags him on a road trip to San Francisco. When their car runs out of gas in the middle of the desert, he decides to abandon her. He later meets up with Blue, a methamphetamine-addicted Nazi rabbit biker. Along with Blue's horse girlfriend, Harriet, they take a ride to an underground hide-out, where two other revolutionaries - the lizard leader and John, a hooded snake - tell Fritz of their plan to blow up a power station. When Harriet tries to get Blue to leave with her to go to a Chinese restaurant, he hits her several times and ties her down with a chain. When Fritz attempts to break it up, the leader throws a candle in his face. Blue, John, and the lizard leader then throw Harriet onto a bed to gang rape her. After setting the dynamite at the power plant, Fritz suddenly has a change of heart and unsuccessfully attempts to remove it before being caught in the explosion.
At a Los Angeles hospital, Harriet (disguised as a nun) and the girls from the New York park come to comfort him in what they believe to be his last moments. Fritz, after reciting the speech he used to pick up the girls from New York, suddenly becomes revitalized and has another orgy with the trio of girls while Harriet watches in astonishment.

The Nine Lives Of Fritz The Cat ( 1974)�
Topics Animation, Robert CrumbItem Size 331.4M�
The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat is a 1974 American adult animated anthology black comedy film directed by Robert Taylor as a sequel to Ralph Bakshi's Fritz the Cat (1972), adapted from the comic strip by Robert Crumb, neither of whom had any involvement in the making of the film. The only two people involved in the first film to work on the sequel were voice actor Skip Hinnant, and producer Steve Krantz. The film's music score was composed by jazz musician Tom Scott, and performed by Scott and his band The L.A. Express.
Like the first film, The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat focuses on Fritz (voiced by Hinnant), a fraudulent womanizer and leftist, who is shown in this film to have married an unpleasant woman, with whom he shares an apartment with their infant son. Unlike the first film, The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat adopts a non-linear narrative and is presented as an anthology of loosely connected short stories, connected as cannabis-induced fantasies which occur as Fritz's spouse berates him. The stories depict Fritz as a Nazi stormtrooper, a rich playboy, an astronaut heading to Mars, and in an alternate reality in which New Jersey has seceded from the United States as an entirely African American state, China and Russia. Except for the wraparound segment, none of the film's storylines are based on Robert Crumb's comics, and he was not credited on this film.

Biography�
[edit]
�
[edit]
Stockholm quartet Drain STH underwent many changes in both musical style and image. Guitarist Flavia Canel and drummer Martina Axén had been together in many acts starting with punk band Livin' Sacrifice (not to be confused with the thrash metal band Living Sacrifice). As this act progressed the sound developed into more of a hard rock vein.
Livin' Sacrifice evolved into Aphrodite with Axén, Canel, vocalist Malin Ekholm, guitarist Maria "Mia" Landberg, and bassist Marianne Hall. Aphrodite folded upon Ekholm's departure in 1990.
Axén, Canel and Anna K formed a new band called Ragdoll in 1991 that included vocalist Annie Gutå.
With Gutås's departure, Axén, Canel and Anna K joined forces with former Necro Nancy guitarist-turned-vocalist Maria Sjöholm (later wife of Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi). They changed the name to Drain and signed a deal with MVG Records in 1994. For the American market the band was known as Drain STH. Live promotion in North America included second stage appearances at the Ozzfest event in 1997 and 1999, and tours with Type O Negative, Corrosion of Conformity, Machine Head, Megadeth, Godsmack and Black Sabbath among others. The 1999 album Freaks Of Nature would be noted for the inclusion of the track "Black", co-written by Iommi, along with two tracks — "Simon Says" and "Right Through You" — co-written by Max Martin. In Metal Edge magazine's 1999 Readers' Choice Awards, they were voted "Female Performers of the Year" and "Most Underrated Band". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain_STH#cite_note-1 The single "Simon Says" was used as the entrance music for Extreme Championship Wrestling wrestler Simon Diamond. Despite heavy publicity, the band folded in 2000.
After Drain�
[edit]
Axén (switching to vocals) and Anna K created Superfix with guitarist China and drummer Sid from Sinisstar. Progress with this new unit was slow, a second demo and Los Angeles showcase gig being delivered in August 2002 with the project laid to rest soon after.
During 2001 Canel re-emerged, touting her new project, the Brooklyn-based Anotherday. In early 2002 Axén announced the formation of a side-project dubbed Dr. Fungus, with Coal Chamber bassist Nadja Peulen, Adema drummer Kris Kohls, and Unida guitarist Arthur Seay.
By mid-2003 Canel, working alongside vocalist / guitarist Niklas Fagerström, ex-SELPH guitarist Serban Carapancea and drummer Fabien Perreau, was touting a fresh Stockholm-based band entitled Blowsight. That summer bassist Anna K joined New York industrial band Hanzel und Gretyl for their Fukken Über tour, remaining a member until 2005. In 2006 Anna K was recruited by Al Jourgensen for the re-union tour of Revolting Cocks and in 2007 she joined the LA based Opiate for the Masses. Axén joined Snake River Conspiracy in June 2004, replacing Tobey Torres, and quit in early 2006 to focus on her solo work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain_STH#cite_note-2

Shakira is well known for dancing in her music videos and concerts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 Her distinctive dancing style is said to combine Latin dancing with Middle Eastern belly dance, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-200 which is derived from her Lebanese heritage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 Her hip shaking is mentioned, for example, in Fifth Harmony's "Brave Honest Beautiful" song. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-201 Shakira is noted for usually employing minimal production, taking to the stage with little makeup and, until and including the El Dorado World Tour, without background dancers in her performances. She prefers to focus on her vocals, dance moves, and stage presence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-HerCampus-202 Shakira greatly enjoys performing before large gatherings, but feels uncomfortable when the number of spectators is small. "The stage and crowd and lights and applause of the people dress me. Once you take that away and you're there with your voice—it's such a private, intimate act, the one of singing and exposing your soul." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-PoetPrincess-180 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraSurfs-181 Beginning in her twenties, she dyed her black hair blond and often performed barefoot, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraSurfs-181 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-HerCampus-202 a form of dance she learned as a young teen to overcome her shyness. She mentioned in an MTV interview that she learned how to belly dance by trying to flip a coin with her belly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ContactMusic-199 For her light-dyed hair (on account of which she has been called a "sellout"), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182 she gave an interviewer the following explanation: "But it wasn't a calculated move. It wasn't like, Oh, I want to reach the American audience—let me be blonde and let me get a pair of blue contact lenses and bleach my skin. I didn't want to be white. I just thought my curls looked cool with a blonde, beachy style". "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraSurfs-181 Between Shakira's MTV Unplugged (1999) and Roseland Ballroom (2001) Manhattan shows, her stage appearance and style changed dramatically.
Singing�
Shakira is a contralto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-203 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-204 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-205 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-206 and is known for her "unique and mesmerizing" singing voice, which includes her "trademark" yodeling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-:0-207 Ted Kessler of The Observer described her as having "the range of an operatic diva". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-208
Music influences and styles�
Led Zeppelin, one of Shakira's influences early in her career
In her early youth, Shakira was influenced by rock music, listening heavily to such bands as Led Zeppelin, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-PoetPrincess-180 Metallica, Nirvana, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraSurfs-181 The Beatles, the Police, and The Cure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182 "I was so in love with that rock sound" – she said. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182 Her other influences included Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette, Marc Anthony, and Van Morrison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-183 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-184 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Soundtrack-185 She cited Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" as the song that "kick started her passion for music". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Soundtrack-185
Shakira's orthodox rock skills were on display most prominently during her original Tour Pies Descalzos. Its 112 shows lasted for two years, from October 1995 to October 1997 (for example, the Viña del Mar 1997 concert in Chile). Then during Tour Anfibio (2000), and then again, in different rock renditions, during the Tour of the Mongoose (2002–2003), of which the Rotterdam concert was published as the Live & off the Record record set.
Shakira's earlier albums, Pies Descalzos and Dónde Están los Ladrones?, are primarily rock with elements of folk music. With her first mostly-English album, Laundry Service, and later works, she diversified into various pop music genres, pop rock and Latin pop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-LechnerLaundryService-51 Laundry Service is a pop and rock album, impacted by other genres and styles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-backgroundtitlebillboard-186 The singer credited this to her mixed ethnicity and background, saying: "I am a fusion. That's my persona. I'm a fusion between black and white, between pop and rock, between cultures – between my Lebanese father and my mother's Spanish blood, the Colombian folklore and Arab dance I love and American music." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182
The Arabic music and Middle Eastern music elements exerted high influence on "Ojos Así" world hit from Dónde Están los Ladrones?. Its English version "Eyes Like Yours" was included on Laundry Service. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-reviewallmusic-187 Musical styles from different South American countries surface on the album. Tango, a style of fast-paced ballroom dance that originated in Argentina, Shakira sings in its rock version, "Objection (Tango)". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-backgroundtitlebillboard-186 The uptempo track features a guitar solo and a bridge in which Shakira delivers "a genuinely peculiar rap". The Guardian reviewer Alexis Petridis marvels at Shakira's lyrics: "thought-provoking lines", "bewildering lyrical iceberg" and "non sequiturs so eccentric", all rendered with an unyielding conviction by "her powerful voice leaping octaves to add emphasis". He then sarcastically observes that "sniggering media pundits have suggested Ripoll (Shakira) can't actually understand what she is singing". The rock piece "Poem to a Horse" "mixes Nirvana-influenced guitars with a soul horn section to mind-boggling effect". Petridis finds Laundry Service's "ramshackle production and imponderable lyrics" to be "striking and unique" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-reviewguardian-188
Shakira has said, "My music, I think, is a fusion of many different elements. And I'm always experimenting. So I try not to limit myself, or put myself in a category, or... be the architect of my own jail." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-UdovitchShakira-189 She has been inspired by the music of Asia, and in particular by Indian music, which influenced her works, including dancing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-190 She told Portuguese TV, "Many of my movements belong to Arab culture." Shakira cites her parents as having been major contributors to her musical style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-191 South American folk music and Andean music in particular have influenced her and she has used its native instrumentation for her songs, most notably in "Whenever, Wherever" / "Suerte", Shakira's grand anthem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-UdovitchShakira-189 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-192
She Wolf is primarily an electropop album that combines influences from musical styles of various countries and regions such as Africa, Colombia, India, and the Middle East. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-193 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-194 Shakira termed the album a "sonic experimental trip" and said she researched folk music from different countries in order to "combine electronics with world sounds, tambourines, clarinets, oriental and Hindu music, dancehall, etc." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-albumpageshakira.com-195 Her next album, Sale el Sol, is meant to be a return to her beginnings. It contains ballads, rock songs, and Latin dance songs like "Loca". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-196 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-197 In 2017, Deutsche Welle's journalist Kate Müser commented on Shakira's "globalized sound": "[her] Latin beats, spiced with Middle Eastern and other world elements and made comfortably familiar by being churned through the pop machine, make you feel like a citizen of the world." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-198

It wasn't like, Oh, I want to reach the American audience—let me be blonde and let me get a pair of blue contact lenses and bleach my skin. I didn't want to be white. I just thought my curls looked cool with a blonde, beachy style". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraSurfs-181 Between Shakira's MTV Unplugged (1999) and Roseland Ballroom (2001) Manhattan shows, her stage appearance and style changed dramatically.

2024–present: Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour�
On 12 April 2024, at Coachella Festival in California, Shakira joined Bizarrap onstage, to give, at his invitation, a surprise guest performance during his set. She sang their collaborations "La Fuerte" and "Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53". She announced there the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, her first tour in over six years, in support of the album. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-161 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-162 By the fall, a variety of Latin ticket sales and concert records had been broken. Many large-venue shows across Latin America were quickly sold out. A number of new ones were added, especially in Mexico, where there were timing possibilities at the end of the Latin leg of the tour. Shakira expected the tour to be the greatest in her career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ticketsales-163 Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour was planned to begin in North America, but its U.S.–Canada part, originally scheduled for November and December 2024, was rescheduled to follow, rather than precede, the Latin American leg. The demand for larger stadium venues in the U.S. was given as the reason and many of the shows were rescheduled at locations different from originally intended. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ticketsales-163 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-164 The first concert of the tour occurred on 11 February 2025 in Rio de Janeiro.
In September 2024, Shakira walked off stage mid-performance at the LIV Miami nightclub, reportedly after noticing fans filming up her dress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-165 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-166 On 25 September, she released the single "Soltera". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-167 Topping the Latin Pop Airplay chart for seven weeks and reaching number two on Latin Airplay, it tied her with Enrique Iglesias for the most number ones on the former and third-most top-tens on the latter chart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-168 Shakira received three nominations at the 25th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran and Song of the Year for "(Entre Paréntesis)". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-169 Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran has also been nominated for Best Latin Pop Album at the upcoming 67th Annual Grammy Awards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-170 Shakira will reprise her voice role as Gazelle and write a new song for Zootopia 2, to be released in November 2025. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-171
At the February 2025 Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, Shakira, in final stages of preparations for her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, received the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album. She gave a performance and dedicated the award on stage to her "brothers and sisters", immigrants in the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-172 At the Grammys she was accompanied by her sons, Milan and Sasha. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-173
To uplift women through the power of music and "empower her sisters this International Women's Day (8 March) and beyond", Shakira joined forces with Hard Rock International and they announced together on 27 February 2025 a year-long partnership. She also spoke of "breaking barriers and making the world a more inclusive space where every woman feels confident being themselves". The Hard Rock Heals Foundation declared donating $250,000 to Shakira's Pies Descalzos Foundation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-HardRockShakira-174
Shakira was hospitalized with an abdominal issue that made her cancel a show in Peru. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-175 She recovered and performed the following night, 17 February, in Lima. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-176 The concert scheduled for 24 February in Medellín, Colombia was cancelled, due to safety concerns over a faulty stage roof. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-177 As the string of tour disappointments continued, the show in Santiago, Chile on 2 March was called off because of stage production safety concerns. There were sold out concerts scheduled in Santiago for 2 March and 3 March, but the floor (ground) on which the 62 ton stage would be installed was found to be uneven and unstable. The missed performances are technically postponed and are due to be rescheduled. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-178 The second Santiago show also had to be cancelled. Distressed Shakira wrote an emotional letter to her fans on social media. "Ladies and gentlemen who have kept me company for more than thirty years" – she invoked her followers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-179
Music influences and styles�
Led Zeppelin, one of Shakira's influences early in her career
In her early youth, Shakira was influenced by rock music, listening heavily to such bands as Led Zeppelin, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-PoetPrincess-180 Metallica, Nirvana, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-ShakiraSurfs-181 The Beatles, the Police, and The Cure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Huey-31 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182 "I was so in love with that rock sound" – she said. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182 Her other influences included Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette, Marc Anthony, and Van Morrison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-183 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-184 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Soundtrack-185 She cited Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" as the song that "kick started her passion for music". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-Soundtrack-185
Shakira's orthodox rock skills were on display most prominently during her original Tour Pies Descalzos. Its 112 shows lasted for two years, from October 1995 to October 1997 (for example, the Viña del Mar 1997 concert in Chile). Then during Tour Anfibio (2000), and then again, in different rock renditions, during the Tour of the Mongoose (2002–2003), of which the Rotterdam concert was published as the Live & off the Record record set.
Shakira's earlier albums, Pies Descalzos and Dónde Están los Ladrones?, are primarily rock with elements of folk music. With her first mostly-English album, Laundry Service, and later works, she diversified into various pop music genres, pop rock and Latin pop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-LechnerLaundryService-51 Laundry Service is a pop and rock album, impacted by other genres and styles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-backgroundtitlebillboard-186 The singer credited this to her mixed ethnicity and background, saying: "I am a fusion. That's my persona. I'm a fusion between black and white, between pop and rock, between cultures – between my Lebanese father and my mother's Spanish blood, the Colombian folklore and Arab dance I love and American music." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182
The Arabic music and Middle Eastern music elements exerted high influence on "Ojos Así" world hit from Dónde Están los Ladrones?. Its English version "Eyes Like Yours" was included on Laundry Service. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-shakiinterviewfaze-182 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-reviewallmusic-187 Musical styles from different South American countries surface on the album. Tango, a style of fast-paced ballroom dance that originated in Argentina, Shakira sings in its rock version, "Objection (Tango)". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-backgroundtitlebillboard-186 The uptempo track features a guitar solo and a bridge in which Shakira delivers "a genuinely peculiar rap". The Guardian reviewer Alexis Petridis marvels at Shakira's lyrics: "thought-provoking lines", "bewildering lyrical iceberg" and "non sequiturs so eccentric", all rendered with an unyielding conviction by "her powerful voice leaping octaves to add emphasis". He then sarcastically observes that "sniggering media pundits have suggested Ripoll (Shakira) can't actually understand what she is singing". The rock piece "Poem to a Horse" "mixes Nirvana-influenced guitars with a soul horn section to mind-boggling effect". Petridis finds Laundry Service's "ramshackle production and imponderable lyrics" to be "striking and unique". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-reviewguardian-188
Shakira has said, "My music, I think, is a fusion of many different elements. And I'm always experimenting. So I try not to limit myself, or put myself in a category, or... be the architect of my own jail." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-UdovitchShakira-189 She has been inspired by the music of Asia, and in particular by Indian music, which influenced her works, including dancing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-190 She told Portuguese TV, "Many of my movements belong to Arab culture." Shakira cites her parents as having been major contributors to her musical style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-191 South American folk music and Andean music in particular have influenced her and she has used its native instrumentation for her songs, most notably in "Whenever, Wherever" / "Suerte", Shakira's grand anthem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-UdovitchShakira-189 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-192
She Wolf is primarily an electropop album that combines influences from musical styles of various countries and regions such as Africa, Colombia, India, and the Middle East. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-193 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-194 Shakira termed the album a "sonic experimental trip" and said she researched folk music from different countries in order to "combine electronics with world sounds, tambourines, clarinets, oriental and Hindu music, dancehall, etc." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-albumpageshakira.com-195 Her next album, Sale el Sol, is meant to be a return to her beginnings. It contains ballads, rock songs, and Latin dance songs like "Loca". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-196 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-197 In 2017, Deutsche Welle's journalist Kate Müser commented on Shakira's "globalized sound": "[her] Latin beats, spiced with Middle Eastern and other world elements and made comfortably familiar by being churned through the pop machine, make you feel like a citizen of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira#cite_note-198

yeah. some people that come to this board might agree with you.. some people are indeed looking for a poster to say "sober is better". they just can't have drugs in their lives and more, and would love to be like you...
however, the average poster on this board probably has some drugs they still use. they are probably in a place where it makes their lives easier, and they aren't really harming themselves, so they are pretty happy... a lot of the posters have a history of abuse and are getting to a point where they are living healthier and working jobs they like and stuff... so i mean, people manage to live positive lives with drugs, and that's some of the posters on this site.. i don't think you are going to start any type of drug free revolution through this board or anything... you probably won't actually change any of the posters here's minds if this is a real poster... idk.. people are obviously having troube taking this seriously... i'm sure you could think of some scientific reasons as to why to stay drug free too.. maybe you could find some younger people or people struggling with drugs on reddit to influence... the usual poster on this site is not going to care what you have to say... as a matter of fact you're just going to bring out the "i love drugs. fuck you" response in some people.
Make all drugs legal or make all drugs illegal. This is what I am saying. How come I have to tell everyone alcohol is drugs? It should be common knowledge.
