The '''Tour of the Mongoose''' (also known as '''El Tour de la Mangosta''' in [[Hispanophone|Spanish-speaking regions]]) was the third [[concert tour]] by [[Colombia]]n singer-songwriter [[Shakira]], launched in support of her fifth studio album—and debut [[English language|English]]-language record— ''[[Laundry Service (album)|Laundry Service]]'' (2001). It was her first global tour, visiting North and South America and Europe.

==Background==
[[Live Nation|Clear Channel Entertainment]] announced the Tour of the Mongoose in September 2002.<ref name="pr">{{cite web |title=SHAKIRA ANNOUNCES WHENEVER, WHEREVER OF WORLD TOUR |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1457784/shakira-announces-whenever-wherever-of-world-tour/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170704161807/http://www.mtv.com/news/1457784/shakira-announces-whenever-wherever-of-world-tour/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 4, 2017 |publisher=[[MTV]] |date=25 September 2002|accessdate=25 August 2018}}</ref> The tour came shortly after Shakira reached international success with her third studio album. During a press conference in New York City, Shakira summarized her show as an "entertaining rock show", stating, "I'm not saving any effort to make sure that this concert [tour] will be the best I can offer to my fans. And it's going to have a strong spirit of rock and roll, so you will see a rock-and-roll show, but it will have all of the nuances and the subtleties of a show that attempts to entertain".<ref name="ym1">{{cite web|url=http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/12026106|title=Shakira To Embark Upon Tour Of The Mongoose In November|date=25 September 2002|accessdate=12 January 2009|last=Armor|first=Jerry|work=Yahoo! Music}}</ref>

At the same press conference, Shakira explained the tour's name as symbolizing the strength of the [[mongoose]], stating "...I was really impressed by it because it is an animal that can defeat the snake with just a bite. It's like a living miracle, this animal, to me, because if there's an animal on earth that can defeat the snake—a venomous viper—with a bite, I think that there's got to be some way for us to defeat, or to bite the neck of hatred in this world, no? "It's called the Tour of the Mongoose, and the mongoose is basically one of the few animals who can defeat the most venomous snakes with just one bite and that's why I decided to name my tour that way, because I think that if we all have a little mongoose inside that can defeat the hatred and the resentment and the prejudice of everyday, we can probably win the battle."<ref name="ym1"/><ref name="mtv1"/> At the tour commencement, Corey Moss of MTV compared the singer to [[Britney Spears]], [[Tommy Lee]], [[Elvis Presley]], [[Sheryl Crow]] and [[Rage Against the Machine]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1458620/20021111/shakira.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021114192618/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1458620/20021111/shakira.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 14, 2002|title=Shakira Shows She's The Colombian Britney, Colombian Tommy Lee At Tour Kickoff|date=11 November 2002|accessdate=12 January 2009|last=Moss|first=Corey|work=MTV News}}</ref>

==Controversy==
===Anti-war message===
[[File:Shakira Live in Rotterdam.jpg|thumb|right|Shakira performing the closing number "[[Whenever, Wherever]]"in Rotterdam.]]
The show sparked some controversy due to a perceived anti-war message in a video played prior to the performance of "Octavo Día", displaying war footage and later revealing the Grim Reaper to be a puppeteer. Shakira defended the video, stating,<ref name="mtv1">{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1459848/20030204/shakira.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030216051903/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1459848/20030204/shakira.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 16, 2003|title=Shakira Calls For Peace, Explains Mongoose Mystery|date=2003-02-05|accessdate=2009-01-12|last=Moss|first=Corey|author2=Megan Hanley |work=MTV News}}</ref>

{{cquote|"I think that we see war as a virtual thing and we even get to believe that bombs fall on top of cardboard cutouts and stuff like that, they don't. They kill real people, real children, real mothers and millions of innocent people. I come from Colombia, which is a country that has been under the whip of violence for more than four decades, so I've seen the consequences of war and I've seen the psychological damage that it does in a society.

And I think that we're never ready for war. I just feel that there are always pacifist solutions, and I think that the leaders know the exit to the conflict, it's just that sometimes they don't want to use them, they just want to continue playing their little game of power. And I feel that us people have the responsibility and also the obligation to demand to our leaders to give us the pacifist solutions. To give us a world in peace."}}

=== Argentina controversy ===
In 1999, Shakira began a relationship with Argentine lawyer [[Antonio de&nbsp;la&nbsp;Rúa]], the son of the then president of Argentina [[Fernando de la Rúa]].<ref>[https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/arid-30282933.html Shakira and de la Rua 'waiting to wed'].
