Dónde Están los Ladrones? is the fourth studio album by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira, released on 25 September 1998 by Sony Music Colombia. After attaining success in Latin America with her major international debut, Pies Descalzos, Shakira met producer Emilio Estefan, who identified her potential to break into the U.S. Latin market and became her manager. For work on the new album, Shakira also enlisted her previous collaborator Luis Fernando Ochoa, along with Lester Mendez, Javier Garza, Pablo Flores and Estéfano Salgado. Dónde Están los Ladrones? is stylistically Latin rock; it incorporates Latin pop elements and influences of Middle Eastern music. Upon its release, Dónde Están los Ladrones? received positive reviews from music critics, who praised its sound and lyrics; Shakira was sometimes compared to Alanis Morissette. Commercially, the album was a success, selling over one million copies within its first month of release. It peaked at number 131 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and topped Billboard's Top Latin and Latin Pop Albums charts.
