It’s an album sung mostly in Spanish, Shakira’s original language — though she is now fluent in English — and it’s full of love songs carried by tropical rhythms. The album is named after a mythical golden city sought in the Americas by Europeans. “Finding inspiration itself and realizing it had always been there all along — that was my El Dorado,” she said. “That was a perfect state of mind.” –

My additional comments.
Shakira talks about her collaborations with Carlos Vives (La Bicicleta), Maluma (Chantaje) and Prince Royce in the interview. This was a pretty Kool (Kool is Kooler than cool) interview that you readers interested in the Latin music culture, or music period, will find value in what you learn from it.

The last I checked, we will be hearing and seeing performances from Shakira throughout the summer. For this to be a hobby of Shakira, this lady sure has talent and gets a lot of enjoyment from it!
