and released her debut

'' Magia'' in 1991, which largely consisted of tracks she had written since she was eight years old. Commercially, the project struggled, selling an underwhelming 1,200 copies in her native Colombia. Her follow-up record '' Peligro'' was released in 1993, and suffered a similar failure. Consequently, Shakira took a two-year hiatus, allowing her to complete her high school education. This song originally appeared on a compilation album called ''Nuestro Rock'' (''Our Rock''), released in 1994 in her homeland Colombia. This song turned out to be the only hit of the whole compilation album, and a music video was shot for the song, directed by Oscar Azula and Julian Torres. This meant her breakthrough in Colombia.
