Shakira MTV Unplugged

​

Some records capture a moment.
Others capture a turning point.

​

Shakira – MTV Unplugged is one of those rare recordings where everything comes together: the voice, the songs, the atmosphere, and an artist on the verge of conquering the world.

​

Recorded in New York in 1999 for MTV’s legendary Unplugged series, this performance introduced Shakira to a global audience long before the international pop superstardom that would follow.

 

Stripped of heavy production, the songs reveal something deeper – the raw intensity, the rhythm of Latin America, and a voice that effortlessly moves between power and vulnerability.

​

This edition marks the first ever vinyl release of the album.

Pressed on beautiful magenta spinner vinyl, the 2LP set is both a visual and sonic statement. Released as a Vinyl Me, Please exclusive, only 2000 numbered copies were produced worldwide, each one foil-stamped and highly sought after by collectors.

​

More than two decades later, the recording still feels alive – intimate, passionate and timeless.

A remarkable live album.
A stunning pressing.
And a true collector’s piece.
