That Shakira (46) is one of the great artists on the world scene today is something that is beyond any kind of doubt or discussion. The singer, born in Barranquilla (Colombia), is a machine for creating hits and her songs have secured #1 in the rankings at some point in her life. But it wasn’t always like that for the former couple of Piquewho -as they say- should have been done from below.
More than 30 years ago, a Shakira Still a teenager, he gave a cassette with his first songs to a representative of Spanish artists. Far from her were those works of loa hits that later launched her to stardom. And, perhaps without a vision for the future, this producer heard the songs and decided to pass up the opportunity, venturing (erroneously) that Shakira I had no future. It was clearly a giant mistake, but at least the rep got to keep that cassette and it’s currently up for sale at auction.
The incredible base price for which Shakira’s first cassette goes on sale, recorded when she was 14 years old
It was in 1991, 32 years ago, when Shakira He gave the Spanish representative Jaime Estruch a cassette with his first songs. At that time, the monotony singer was a teenager of only 14 years old, and the cassette contained the songs of what was her first album, “Magia”.
It was at that moment that Estruch heard it and, without even imagining the phenomenon that would later become ShakiraHe ruled out the job and the possibility of working as a representative of the Colombian. In honor of the truth, the Spanish considered that Shakira I had no talent or potential for the future.
Years passed and, 32 years after that fateful decision, the representative Jaime Estruch realized the unbeatable opportunity he missed by refusing to work with Shakira. However, beyond the bad decision, not everything is gray for the Spanish. And it is that, beyond the rejection, he decided to keep that first Shakira cassette. And these days he decided to put it up for sale through an auction, for which he already set a base price: 1,200 euros.
While what you get from selling the cassette probably won’t compare to the fortune you would have made if you hadn’t turned down Shakiraperhaps you will find a minimum consolation in being able to obtain a minimum profit through the auction of the first cassette of the singer of the ex of Gerard Piqué.
