"Ciega, Sordomuda" (English: Blind, deaf-mute) is a Latin pop song written and performed by Colombian-born singer Shakira, released as the first single from her 1998 multi-platinum album ¿Dónde Están los Ladrones?.
"Ciega, Sordomuda" reached the number-one spot on Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart for three weeks in 1998. It was a smash hit all over Latin America, reaching the top ten in the charts of every single country.
[edit] Music Video
The music video begins with a woman, dressed in a wig, with trumpet backings, lip-synching to the song. Soon, the woman is taken away with many other people, including Shakira herself. Shakira meets a man who later dresses as a policeman and they both escape - he is cast as a boyfriend in the video. Shakira hides in a wig store, pretending to be a mannequin, and drives a car blindfolded while the whole city searches for her, blindfolded as well. At the end, the police attack the dance club where the runaways are dancing, but Shakira escapes with the boyfriend. Later, the police find video tapes of Shakira and look at them - some of the scenes are from her 2000 video, "No Creo". While watching the police tear open their shirts, revealing malfunctioning circuitry beneath.
