Se Quiere, Se Mata
"Se Quiere, Se Mata" (English: ''What Is Wanted, Is Killed'') is the sixth single released from Shakira's third studio album, ''Pies Descalzos'' (1995). Written and composed by herself, "Se Quiere, Se Mata" was a Top Ten Hit in Mexico and on the ''Billboard (magazine), Billboard'' Hot Latin Tracks in the United States. The song laments the story of a young couple, Braulio and Dana, and their choice to have an abortion. Introduced as an innocent young couple well liked by their families, the two succumb to their sexual desires, and Dana becomes pregnant. However, rather than admit this to their families and neighbors, they choose to get an abortion. The abortion ultimately goes badly, resulting in Dana's death. The song title comes from the line "...esta podrida ciudad donde lo que no ''se quiere se mata.''" (... this rotten city where what is not wanted is killed,) where Shakira laments the moralistic societal pressure that drives people to take drastic measures to keep the appea ...

Peligro (Shakira Album)
''Peligro'' ( en, Danger, italic=yes) is the second studio album by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira, released on 25 March 1993, by Sony Music Colombia. Background Author Ximena Diego wrote that "the first fifteen years of Shakira's life gave her a taste of how sweet stardom could be";Diego, Ximena (2002). p. 42. She was signed to Sony Music Colombia at the age of 13, with the deal being to record three albums, which were '' Magia'', ''Peligro'' and ''Pies Descalzos''. While ''Magia'', her debut album, wasn't much of a success commercially, with only 1,200 copies sold, the songs from that record garnered frequent radio play on Colombian radio stations, and, according to Diego, showed her potential. Despite ''Magia'''s lack of sales, Sony Colombia had higher expectations for Shakira's second album, hoping that it would heighten the small popularity she was already having. Diego wrote, however, that the time during the production and release of ''Peligro'' would prove that "th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Songs Written By Shakira
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers fo ...
