Alejandro Sanz in Concert

Back in 2001, Alejandro Sanz's signature raspy vocals and flamenco-inspired ballads were just starting to take off internationally on the strength of his Latin Grammy award–winning Album of the Year, El Alma al Aire. His increasing popularity earned him an appearance on MTV Unplugged, where he became the first Spanish artist to perform in the storied series. The album that resulted would go on to earn Sanz his second Latin Grammy Album of the Year award, while his other albums continued to be top sellers (including his 1997 breakthrough Más, which went platinum 22 times over in Spain). His music has taken many turns across his dozen-plus LPs, ranging from the R&B and folk tones of Sirope, to the jazz-tinged tango of El Alma Al Aire, to the full-on rock of Paraíso Express, to the modern Latin pop of #ELDISCO. Now in his 50s, the artist brings this amalgam of musical forms to his live shows, delivering the same charm and intimacy of his MTV Unplugged appearance in the large arenas and theaters he plays these days.

Alejandro Sanz Background

Born in Madrid, Alejandro Sanz first took to flamenco music while spending summers in his parents' home region of Andalusia, and the feel and energy of flamenco have remained part of Sanz's compositions since his career debut in 1989. In the decades since, Sanz has released 13 albums while winning three Grammy Awards and 17 Latin Grammys. He has collaborated on global hits like "La Tortura" with Shakira and "Deja Que Te Bese" with Marc Anthony, the latter song claiming over 120 million spins on Spotify. A champion and important voice of Hispanic culture, Sanz was awarded ASCAP's Latin Heritage Award in 2011. He's worked with megastars like Juanes, Alicia Keys and Calle 13, and his 2019 album, #ELDISCO, features collaborations with fellow pop sensations Camila Cabello and Nicky Jam.
