Data Insight

El Dorado marked Shakira's full embrace of the urban-Latin and reggaeton wave then dominating Spanish-language pop, and it became one of her most commercially successful Spanish records. Shakira co-wrote the material, building the chart-topping 'Chantaje' and 'Trap' with Maluma and reuniting with Carlos Vives on 'La Bicicleta.' Producers including Supa Dups, the Colombian duo Rude Boyz and longtime partner Luis Fernando Ochoa shape the reggaeton and pop tracks, with additional features from Nicky Jam, Prince Royce and MAGIC!. The album won the Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album.

El Dorado is Shakira's eleventh studio album, released May 26, 2017. Primarily in Spanish, it won the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album and the Latin Grammy for Album of the Year. The hit 'Chantaje' featuring Maluma and 'Me Enamoré' were major successes. Shakira co-wrote the majority of tracks with a range of collaborators. The album's supporting tour was cancelled due to a vocal cord hemorrhage, making it her final major release before a multi-year hiatus.
