Sanz and Universal Music’s alliance dates back to 2011 and has led to the launch of two studio album releases (La Música No Se Toca and Sirope), three live performance albums (La Música No Se Toca En Vivo, Sirope Vivoy +ES+ El Concierto) and the documentary film Sanz: Lo Que Fui Es Lo Que Soy.

“Prolonging the agreement with Universal allows me to continue growing as an artist,” said Sanz in a press release. “It allows me to create and innovate within a trusted environment. It strengthens me as a musician to stay on the same route I have been advancing for years.”

Today the renewed alliance starts a new phase of work and artistic collaboration.

“Working with Alejandro, the most successful Spanish artist of the last three decades and renewing this commitment, gives us the opportunity to continue reinventing together the new model of creation, communication, consumption and marketing of music in all its facets,” added Narcis Rebollo, President of Universal Music Spain and Portugal. “Ratifies Universal Music as the pioneering and leading entertainment company in its sector.”

Last year, Sanz released “No Tengo Nada,” the first single of his forthcoming album titled #ElDisco. He also announced his four major concerts in Spain this year as part of the #LaGira Tour.

Sanz has won 17 Latin Grammys and three Grammys. He has received the Latin Grammy for Album of the Year three times, more than any other artist.

The documentary, though, is still not available in Sanz’s native Spain.

Netflix had previously announced that Sanz: Lo Que Fui es lo Que Soy would be released last Saturday, August 18.

When it didn’t appear on the streaming site, Sanz’s followers were quick to proteston social media.

On Monday (August 20), the film’s sudden appearance on Netflix was quickly followed by fans expressing their relief.

The documentary captures Sanz’s journey from playing rock songs with friends on the streets of his neighborhood as a teen to playing flamenco guitar with Paco de Lucia, to recording the two biggest-selling albums in Spain and becoming one of Latin music’s biggest stars while remaining “a normal person.”

Shakira, Miguel Bosé and Juan Luis Guerra are among the many other artists who make appearances in the film.

Lo Que Fui es lo Que Soy had a theatrical premiere at the Malaga Film Festival on April 19, and showed in theaters around Spain. But Spanish viewers who have been waiting to watch it on Netflix are still waiting.
