Jesús Herrera atesora en España la colección más grande dedicada a Shakira

Jesús Herrera, 36, owns Spain's largest Shakira collection after starting to gather memorabilia at age 15. LNE reports he holds rare pieces that few fans will ever find, including censored Middle Eastern tapes that are nearly impossible to track down.
When Shakira performs her 12 concerts at Madrid's Villaverde venue, Herrera will attend at least six shows. His two decades of hunting for obscure Shakira items have turned him into a serious collector with items most superfans have never seen.
Herrera began collecting at 15 years old, which means 21 years of searching, buying, and trading. He has tracked down everything from early cassettes to concert programs to merchandise from around the world. His hunt never stops — the rarer the item, the bigger the challenge.
According to LNE, the hardest finds are tapes released in the Middle East that were censored for local markets. These versions differ from European and American releases. Herrera said, 'The most difficult to find are the censored tapes from the Middle East.' Finding even one takes months of effort.
What started as a teenage hobby became a lifelong mission. Herrera didn't just buy random items — he tracked down specific versions, limited editions, and region-exclusive releases. Each piece tells a story about how Shakira's music traveled globally and changed between markets.
LNE notes his collection includes items most casual fans know nothing about. Regional variants, early demos, and promotional materials from different countries fill his shelves. He has become the go-to person in Spain when anyone wants to know about rare Shakira memorabilia.
Shakira's Madrid residency brings 12 total concerts to Villaverde. Herrera plans to attend at least six of them. For a collector like him, each show is a chance to see her live with his prized collection nearby — a full-circle moment after decades of hunting.
The concerts mean more than just entertainment. They represent validation of his two-decade passion. Every item in his collection connects to a moment in Shakira's career, and seeing her perform live makes those pieces come alive in a way no display case ever could.
