Synopsis

The "Shaketon Remix" video follows the same fractured breakup story as the original "La Tortura" clip, but incorporates alternate footage from the production. Alejandro Sanz watches Shakira from across the street as she returns to her apartment carrying a bag of onions. Her private grief gives way to memories of their relationship and a sensual rooftop performance, where she covers herself in black paint. The remix cut keeps the voyeuristic tension and emotional distance intact while reshaping the pacing around the more rhythm-driven version of the song.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The remix is known as the "Shaketon Remix," a version that adds a stronger reggaeton emphasis to the original track.
  • The video uses previously unseen scenes from the same creative concept and was issued with the bonus DVD accompanying the 2006 *Oral Fixation, Vol. 1 & 2* release.
  • The main shoot took place from April 8 to April 12, 2005, in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, using an art deco building as the central location.
  • Shakira handled her own makeup for the production because she wanted her appearance to look natural.
