Tour Anfibio


Tour Anfibio is a concert tour by Colombian singer and songwriter Shakira that started on March 21, 2000 in Lima, and ended on May 12 in Buenos Aires. The name "anfibio" was chosen by Shakira for its resemblance with her: earthy, viscerally connected to the water element, capable of adapting and willing to undergo metamorphosis. The tour was sponsored by Nokia during the South American legs of the tour.

About the tour

The tour's setlist consisted of songs from her albums Pies Descalzos and Dónde Están los Ladrones? In addition, she included an a capella song, "Alfonsina y el Mar", originally by Argentine folk singer Mercedes Sosa. Criticism of the tour was the overselling of tickets in Guatemala, the long delays at the start of the show,and the short duration of the tour. Despite this criticism, all of the concerts were quickly sold out, and Shakira even added some extra concerts due to popular demand.


After 3 sold out shows in Luna Park, Shakira decided to bring back the tour to Buenos Aires because of popular demand. A 4th date in the Argentinian city was added, the fourth show took place in the city's Campo Argentino de Polo stadium. The show had around 25,000 attendees. The show had people in the blocks near the stadium scared because of overcrowding of the region and according to residents' testimonies, the loud music caused the buildings to shake.
