The story behind
When you immerse yourself in Shakira's music, it's interesting to note how some of her early creations already showed that spark that would make her known. The song *Cuentas conmigo*, with a duration of 3:45, is an example of that early material. While it wasn't the one that catapulted her to global fame, it represents a stage where her compositions, some written since she was eight years old, were beginning to take shape. These early songs explored themes of youthful love experiences, adventure tales, and the longing to live by the sea, reflecting the perspective of a young artist.
Shakira's journey in the music industry formally began with her first album, *Magia*, released in 1991. Recorded under the Sony Music Colombia label when she was just thirteen years old, this album featured songs written by herself and others composed for her. Despite the artist's youth and the freshness of the compositions, the release faced production and cohesion challenges, which limited its commercial reach, selling around 1200 copies. Later, in 1996, her work with Luis Fernando Ochoa on the album *Pies descalzos* marked a turning point, introducing her to the Latin American music market with songs like *Estoy aquí* and *Antología*.
