Alejandro Sanz Returns
To Costa Rica
Spanish pop
singer-guitarist-songwriter
Alejandro Sanz will be
in Costa Rica again to
perform at the Ricardo
Saprissa stadium on
February 12, 20008.
Sanz was last in Costa
Rica in 2004 when
creaming Costa Ricans
greeted Sanz during his
"No es lo mismo" tour.
The current tour is
called "El tren de los
momentos", the widely
acclaimed album released
in 2006 that also
features other Latin pop
stars Juanes, Shakira
from Colombia and the
hip hop and alternative-reggaeton
duo known as Calle 13
from Puerto Rico.
Alejandro Sanz is the
second son of María
Pizarro Medina from
Alcalá de los Gazules,
and Jesús Sánchez Madero
from Algeciras. He began
playing guitar at the
age of seven and
composing his first
songs three years later.
At the age of 16,
Alejandro Sanz recorded
"Los Chulos Son Pa'
Cuidarlos". However, his
official debut, called
Viviendo Deprisa, came
in 1991 after signing up
with Warner Music. "Si
Tú Me Miras" followed in
1993, featuring
contributions from Nacho
Mañó, Chris Cameron and
Paco de Lucía. His third
album, aptly titled "3",
was recorded in Venice,
Italy.
In 2003, he recorded the
album "No Es Lo Mismo",
which won four 2004
Latin Grammy Awards. It
won Record Of The Year,
Album Of The Year, Song
Of The Year, and Best
Engineered Album.
In 2005, Sanz worked
with Shakira in the hit
single "La Tortura".
On September 25, 2006,
Sanz released the song
"A La Primera Persona".
It was the first single
from his new album El
Tren de los Momentos
which was ultimately
released in November 7,
2006. The album also
produced another hit
duet with Shakira titled
Te lo Agradezco, Pero
No.
