Sanz’s HBO Latino Concert Special to Offer Rare Career Retrospective

Alejandro Sanz is offering fans a career retrospective as part of his HBO Latino special.

The 47-year-old Spanish singer-songwriter and musician has given the cable network exclusive access to his current Sirope Vivo tour, which is named after his 2015 studio album.

“I’ve put together a kind of play that narrates my career from my latest song to my earliest,” Sanz tells Billboard. “I end the show with ‘Pisando fuerte,’ a song I hadn’t performed in years, and which has lyrics I wrote as a teen.”

It’s a rare glimpse into the full arc of Sanz’s career and the first time, he says, that he’s truly provided a career retrospective, spanning over 25 years.

Now, as Sanz prepares to kick off the Latin American leg of his tour Jan. 29 in Mexico, HBO Latino will premiere the “Sirope Vivo” concert special on February 12.

Filmed live at Madrid’s Barclay Center last September, the special will also feature exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and can also be watched anytime on HBO On Demand, HBO GO and HBO NOW.

“It’s the first time I plan a show as if I were constructing a photo album,” says Sanz “I don’t know about you, but I like to look at albums from the end to the beginning.”
