This is the DVD from Shakira's highly acclaimed and very successful tour of the mongoose, and it showcases performances from many of the venues her tour stopped over at, predominantly scenes from Rotterdam and London. I attended the Madison Square Garden, NYC stop of this concert and much rather enjoyed when Shaki performed songs like 'Un Poco Amor' and 'Dude looks like a lady' which are mysteriously absent from the DVD. Nevermind though, they have added tons of extras like, discography, documentary, and behind the scene footage in which you get to see the superstar practicing for shows, showing off personal stunts such as being able to fold both of her legs behind her neck and not feel the slightest bit of discomfort. During this tour, due to lack of rest and the sometimes rigorous dance moves that Shaki shows off, she was stricken by an illness called 'tenditis' (or something like that) and you get to see all of that on the DVD as well. There is also a bonus CD, which contains some of the highlighted songs from the concerts. You may have already heard that the best way to appreciate Shakira is to see her perform LIVE. Now you have no more excuses.

Shakira knows how to dance!
Gblakelii1 March 2022
Much credit goes to the director for keeping the focus on Shakira. We get to see the audience for a second or two, some of the band members, but most of the time the cameras stay on Shakira, both when she's dancing and when she's singing. Not many extreme close-ups, which is good. Excellent sound quality and nice editing. Shakira goes through many costume changes but we don't have to wait as these parts are edited out and yet the transitions are smooth. The Columbian singer gives a high energy performance and it's enjoyable to see her many expressions throughout. She gets on the floor a few times which may remind the viewer of Gloria Trevi! Excluding the documentary, the actual concert time is 90 minutes. The only short coming is that we only see the guitarists, for the most part, among the band members, and for some odd reason never see the backup singers.
