Magia (Shakira album)

Common card · No. 264881

Magia (English: Magic, Spanish pronunciation: [ma.xja]) is the debut studio album by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira. It was released on 24 June 1991, through Sony Music Colombia, with whom she signed a three-album recording contract. The record is a collection of pop ballads, many of which Shakira wrote since she was eight years old, with themes inspired by the experience of hanging out with boys, adventure stories, and dreams of living on the coast. The album's live performances helped Shakira receive attention in Colombian media. However, it was not a commercial success, with sales estimated at between 1,000 and 1,200 copies. At Shakira's request, Magia and its follow-up Peligro (1993) were removed from music markets. "Magia" was released as a promotional single in 1991.
