The most commercially successful Spanish singer of all time, Alejandro Sanz earned a repute as an tireless hitmaker in his native country during the 1990s, and by the decade's end, he'd expanded his fan base internationally as he broadened his style beyond romanticistic ballads and began collaborating with fellow Latin superstars, to the highest degree unforgettably Shakira. A gifted songwriter with handsome looks, Sanz proven immensely popular regular with his debut album,
Viviendo de Prisa (1991), which was a number one collide with in Spain. It wasn't until several albums later,
Más (1997), that he was capable to break into the external market, however, thanks to a key strike single, "Corazón PartÃo," that transcended his core female audience. He began focalization on the Americas during the early 2000s, beginning with
MTV Unplugged (2001), which was recorded in Miami and subsequently released as an album intended to showcase the highlights of his back catalog as well as a freshly written single, "Y Sólo Se Me Ocurre Amarte." He then retreated to his studio to record his most broadly appealing album yet,
No Es Lo Mismo (2003), which plant him breaking away from audience expectations and exploring his have musical interests. He did much the same on his next album,
El Tren de los Momentos (2006), which was highlighted by "Te Lo Agradezco, Pero No," a passionate twosome with Shakira, whom he'd collaborated with the former year on her monolithic Grammy-winning hit "La Tortura." Even as Sanz broadened his stylus o'er the years, he never ventured far from his strength: wild-eyed songs, loosely ballads, tinged with flamenco and song wholeheartedly with his distinct voice.Born in Madrid, Spain, on December 18, 1968, Alejandro Sánchez Pizarro was the youngest son of MarÃa Pizarro and Jesús Sánchez, both of whom ar Andalusians. His father played guitar professionally and was a significant influence on Alejandro, world Health Organization learned to play guitar as a boy. As a adolescent, Sanz performed at local venues and eventually became acquainted with Miguel Angel Arenas, a music industry adept perhaps best known at the time for his association with Mecano, a successful Spanish pop/rock group of the 1980s. Arenas helped Sanz witness work in the recording industry, and the cy Young performer initially sign a contract with the Spanish label Hispavox, which issued
Los Chulos Son Pa' Cuidarlos (1989), an album that was met with indifference upon its discharge and is immediately a odd collector's item. Sanz was billed as Alejandro Magno on the album. Remaining aligned with Arenas, Sanz afterward touched to WEA Latina, where he began recording music under his acquaint charge. His early albums --
Viviendo de Prisa (1991),
Si Tu Me Miras (1993),
Basico (1993), and
3 (1995) -- were loaded with hit singles and consequently were all successful, each reaching platinum position many times over in Spain. Comprised largely of wild-eyed songs, these early albums machine-accessible well with maudlin listeners, particularly women, wHO tended to be as interpreted aback by the music as they were by Sanz's bountiful looks. "La Fuerza del Corazón," from
3, was his first major hit to give birth an international get to, opening a threshold to greener pastures. The level was now determine for the find success of
Más (1997), which boasted "Corazón PartÃo," a slay so grownup it changed the course of instruction of Sanz's life history. Driven by the all-embracing appeal of "Corazón PartÃo," as advantageously as additional singles "Y, ¿Si Fuera Ella?," "Amiga MÃa," "Aquello Que Me Diste," and "Siempre Es de Noche,"
Más became the almost successful Spanish pop record e'er, marketing millions worldwide.
El Alma al Aire (2000) was a comparable commercial-grade success, marketing well internationally. However, the album wasn't as solid as its predecessor and accordingly spawned fewer hits: "Cuando Nadie Me Ve," "Quisiera Ser...," and "El Alma el Aire," each of which was a grownup hit notwithstanding. By this gunpoint, Sanz had garnered a goodish undermentioned across the Atlantic, and his future recording,
MTV Unplugged (2001), was a discharge effort to further his growing popularity in the Americas. The intimate concert performance featured a fresh written unmarried, "Y Sólo Se Me Ocurre Amarte," which became a slay, as did "Aprendiz," a strain written by Sanz antecedently recorded by Malú in 1998.
MTV Unplugged furthermore showcased the premium of vocation highlights Sanz now had to his credit entry, as one hit after another was performed during the concert.When Sanz returned to the studio to begin recording his following album,
No Es Lo Mismo (2003), he distinct to diversify his musical elan to reflect his own interests. The album is harder-hitting and more street-savvy than past ones, regular including a chip of pat and touches of electronica. The romanticist songs are smooth front and center, given, just Sanz wrote an album that is far from generic, illustrating his growing hesitancy to provide to the expectations of his audience (for the offset time, he co-produced the album himself). Though bolder than earlier,
No Es Lo Mismo was yet another international smash achiever, reach number 128 on the wide Billboard 200 album graph -- a notably high gear ranking for a Latin pop album circa 2003 -- and generating several hits, none bigger than the deed rails, which stony-broke the Top Five on the Hot Latin Tracks chart (the first time Sanz did so since 1998) and was licensed by Coca-Cola for a promotional campaign in Latin America. Furthermore,
No El Lo Mismo south Korean won a Latin Grammy in 2003 for Best Latin Pop Album, and Warner Music Latina issued a peculiar CD/DVD edition of the album the following year in commemoration of Sanz's Latin American tour. In 2004, Warner besides released a pair of greatest-hits compilations,
Grandes Éxitos 91_96 and
Grandes Éxitos 97_04, as well as a three-disc bundle,
Grandes Éxitos 91_04, that includes a disk of rarities.Sanz didn't release the follow-up to
No Es Lo Mismo,
El Tren de los Momentos, until late 2006, just in the interim, he was featured in the biggest Latin hit of 2005, Shakira's "La Tortura." He co-wrote the Grammy-winning song and co-starred in its heavily aired geminate of videos, which featured the two Latin pop stars in some rather stifling positions. "La Tortura" exposed Sanz to an even greater audience, and when he eventually released the track individual to
El Tren de los Momentos, "A la Primera Persona," the reception was rapturous. The song was among his biggest hits yet, his get-go to break into the encompassing Hot hundred chart, and
El Tren de los Momentos was similarly well standard. Stylistically exchangeable to
No Es Lo Mismo yet significantly more elegant,
El Tren de los Momentos is noteworthy for its several maven features, which include collaborations with Shakira, Juanes, Alex González of Maná, and Residente of Calle 13.
