Alejandro Sanz Announces U.S. “Sanz En Vivo Tour”

Posted on March 14, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Alejandro Sanz is headed to the United States…

The 54-year-old Grammy-winning singer will return to the U.S. for the first time since the pandemic with his Sanz En Vivo Tour, produced by Loud And Live.

The 11-date trek kicks off in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in September and has stops in cities such as Chicago, New York and Houston before wrapping up in Los Angeles in October.

“I expect this comeback will be filled with a lot of love, magic, good energy. Let’s enjoy music,” adds Sanz, who recently wrapped up a 15-date stint in Mexico.

The first time Sanz toured in the U.S. was more than 20 years ago. Much has changed since then.

“I remember the first few times I went to the U.S. on tour, there were very few Latin companies,” the Spanish singer-songwriter tells Billboard. “There was probably a promoter in Miami, another in Los Angeles. But all of us together have been paving this road, we’ve created a world in the U.S. that is now a huge market. It’s now time to go back and celebrate what we’ve been able to accomplish in this country with Spanish music.”

To still be able to tour and do sold-out shows at this point of his decades-long career, is everything, says Sanz. “For an artist, everything is about being on a stage. Everything else is a bonus, even recording. To be able to be on stage is what one dreams when you dream of being a musician. You dream of sharing, to be able to fill spaces with emotions.”

In his shows, Sanz promises to perform the classics, such as “Corazón Partío,” “Amiga Mía” and “Mi Persona Favorita,” plus new music, including songs from his 2021 Latin Grammy-nominated album SANZ.

Tickets are set go on sale March 17 at 10:00 am local time via www.alejandrosanz.com.

Posted on June 18, 2022 by Tom Castaneda

Camilo has teamed up with his idol…

The 28-year-old Colombian singer, musician and songwriter has joined voices with Alejandro Sanz on the heartwarming new single “NASA.”

Marking their first collaborative effort, the track fuses a mid-tempo ballad with flamenco flairs and classical instrumentation.

Its lyrics are vulnerable and honest, from a person’s point of view who admits they are wrong and is asking for forgiveness.

“I have admired you for years,” Camilo told the Spanish singer in an Instagram video. “I honestly feel in my heart that a cycle has closed. This for me and my family is a dream come true. I’m telling you this not as an artist, but as Camilo.”

Camilo even stamped his admiration by showing Sanz a video of when he was 13 years old and performed his songs “Corazon Partio” and “Cuando Nadie Me Ve” in Factor XS.

The new collaboration follows Camilo’s feel-good cumbia villera “Pegao.”

Aitana is sharing her soulless heart…

The 21-year-old Spanish singer/songwriter has joined voices with Sebastian Yatra on the new single “Corazón Sin Vida.”

The emotive song, which features a fragment of Alejandro Sanz’s “Corazón Partió,” is for the broken-hearted person who has many unanswered questions.

“Why did you heal me when I was hurt, if today you leave me a lifeless heart again,” Aitana asks in the chorus.

Fusing their dulcet powerhouse vocals, Aitana and Yatra exchange their true feelings in this bluegrass-infused pop song.

On Instagram, Aitana expressed her gratitude to Sanz for allowing her to use part of his timeless hit and Yatra for jumping on the track.

C. Tangana Releases New Single “Nunca Estoy”

C. Tanganaisn’t letting the COVID-19 pandemic slow him down…

The 29-year-old Spanish rapper, whose real name is Antón Álvarez Alfaro, has released his new single “Nunca Estoy.”

The nearly three-minute song focuses on the challenges of a love that’s already broken.

“How do you expect me to love you, if you’re not here?” C. Tangana croons.

Written from the woman’s point of view and produced by Alizzz and NINETEEN 85, “Nunca Estoy” makes reference to some of Spain’s finest like Rosario’s “Como quieres que te quiera” and Alejandro Sanz’s “Corazon Partio.”

The track is accompanied by a 90s-inspired home video, directed by Javier Ruiz, showing a mashup of personal videos filmed during the artist’s quarantine in Mexico, back home in Madrid and life on the road.

Sanz Partnering with Javier Limon to Develop Music Talent Contest “Son of Songs”

Posted on March 31, 2017 by Tom Castaneda

Alejandro Sanz is getting real competitive…

The 48-year-oldSpanish singer-songwriter, a 17-time Latin Grammy winner and three-time Grammy winner, is partnering with music producer Javier Limon on an original primetime entertainment format, Son of Songs.

A music talent contest that celebrates the vast range of styles open to modern artists, Son of Songs will be produced by Mediapro, Gazul Producciones, which represents Sanz, and the Limon’s U.S.-based record production label, Casa Limon.

Son of Songs also marks one of the earliest formats to emerge from Mediapro as its drives into upscale TV production.

With Sanz also taking an executive producer credit, Son of Songs’ format features eight young talents, drawn from different styles of music, who pay tribute to a guest star performing their greatest hits in different styles. The format is based on the idea that the musical idea of any song can be interpreted in any style: Jazz, blues, hip-hop, Latin, dance, or flamenco, Mediapro said in a statement.

Now in development, but with first images and content recorded in Boston by young musicians at its prestigious Berklee College of Music, Son of Songs yokes the talents and channels the music passions of two key Spanish music industry figures who have successfully crossed over to the U.S, and Latin America.

Selling 25 million albums to date, Sanz broke through internationally with 1997’s Mas. Including “Corazón Partío,” it sold two-million-plus copies in Spain, making it the most-sold album in history. It also vindicated a style which, however much based on romantic ballads laced with flamenco tropes, has seen experimented throughout Sanz’s career with fusions of jazz, R & B, soul and pop – an inclusiveness which has led Sanz to record with multiple artists from Alicia Keys to Shakira, Michael Jackson to The Corrs.

The winner of 10 Grammys, Limon’s Casa Limon has presented Lagrimas Negras and Buika, and produced concerts, documentaries and television programs. A producer, composer and performer, the key to his work has been its diversity, in both the geographic origin and styles of the great artists he has collaborated with, from Paco de Lucia, Enrique Morente and Joaquin Sabina in Spain to Cuba’s Bebo Valdés, Mexico’s Chavela Vargas, the U.K.’s Nick Lowe and India’s Anoushka Shankar. He also serves as artistic director at the Berklee College of Music.

Sanz Returning to Mexico for Two Mexico City Performances…

Posted on July 21, 2013 by Tom Castaneda

He previously professed his love for Mexico, while serving as a coach on La voz… Mexico… And now Alejandro Sanz is headed back to the country to show his love.

The 44-year-old Spanish singer will give two concerts this October in Mexico City as part of his international La Musica No Se Toca tour, according to the promoter of the shows.

Sanz will appear on October 1-2 in the Mexican capital’s National Auditorium, where he’ll sing numbers from his latest album La Musica No Se Toca, as well as some of his greatest hits like “Amiga Mia” and “Corazon Partio.”

It was in Mexico City at the Foro Sol arena last October that Sanz kicked off the tour that has taken him to cities around the United States, Latin America and Spain.

Before his concerts here, Sanz plans to visit Mexico to take part in the International Mariachi Conference to be held between Aug. 28 and Sept. 8 in the western city of Guadalajara.

Spain will be the guest country at that event and so the Spanish singer-songwriter will give a concert on Sept. 7 at Guadalajara’s Telmex Auditorium.

Taking a break from the tour, the artist is currently on a trip to the Arctic with Greenpeace to raise awareness about the importance of preserving that polar region and to try and stop its commercial exploitation, basically by unsustainable industrial fishing and drilling for oil.
