Dónde Están los Ladrones? (Spanish: [ˈdonde esˈtan los laˈðɾones]; transl. Where Are the Thieves?) 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 (1995), 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.
