Donde Estan los Ladrones extended Shakira's role as a writer while bringing in Emilio Estefan Jr. as executive producer and a wider production team. Shakira wrote or co-wrote the bulk of the record, working with collaborators such as Estefano Salgado on 'Ciega, Sordomuda' and with Pablo Flores and Javier Garza on the Middle Eastern flavored 'Ojos Asi,' alongside returning partner Luis Fernando Ochoa and Lester Mendez. The album refined the Latin rock sound of Pies Descalzos into a more polished, internationally aimed record and produced several number one Latin hits.
¿Dónde Están los Ladrones? (Where Are the Thieves?) is Shakira's fourth studio album and her international breakthrough, released September 29, 1998. Co-produced largely by Shakira, Lester Mendez, and Luis Fernando Ochoa, it became one of the best-selling Spanish-language albums in history with over 7 million copies sold. The album includes 'Ciega, Sordomuda', 'Inevitable', and 'Ojos Así'. Shakira co-wrote every track and the album earned her a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album.
