Tour Anfibio (Spanish:Amphibious Tour) is secondconcert tour byColombian singer and songwriterShakira support of her fourth studio albumDónde Están los Ladrones? (1998). It started on March 21, 2000, inLima, and ended on May 12 inBuenos Aires. The tour was sponsored byNokia during the South American legs of the tour.
The tour'ssetlist consisted of songs from her albumsPies Descalzos (1996) andDónde Están los Ladrones? (1998). In addition, she included an a capella song, "Alfonsina y el mar", originally by Argentine folk singerMercedes Sosa.[1]
Criticism of the tour was the overselling of tickets inGuatemala, where around 5,000 to 7,000 tickets were sold for a stadium with a maximum capacity of 4,000. The concert was also delayed for the day after the planned date due to problems with the stage, which caused fans to partially destroy one of the stadium gates and damaging several vehicles parked outside, and around 25 people fainted in the midst of the commotion.[2]
Due to the tour's success, extra concerts were added due to popular demand.[2] After three sold out shows inLuna Park, Shakira decided to bring back the tour toBuenos Aires because of popular demand. A fourth date was added, taking place atCampo Argentino de Polo. The show had around 25,000 attendees.[3] The show had people in the blocks near the stadium to prevent overcrowding of the region and, according to residents' testimonies, the loud music caused the buildings to shake.[4] The concerts at National Auditorium, Mexico City, and Luna Park, Buenos Aires, were broadcast on national television.
Ernesto Lechner fromLos Angeles Times praised the concert and the artist, saying, "Everything about Colombian rock star Shakira spells perfection - with a capital P. Her powerful voice. Her gorgeous looks. Her effortlessly sensuous dancing. Her commanding stage presence". He highlighted the performance of "Ojos Así" by calling it "superb", and asserting that her shows are meant to be seen live.[5]
