Alejandro Sanz presenta el libro de su tío Francisco Pizarro

El cantante fue el encargado de elaborar el prólogo de la apasionante biografía de su familiar favorito, cariñosamente conocido como el "tío Paco"

 Alejandro Sanz acompañó a su tío Francisco Pizarro en la presentación de su libro 'Tío Paco' el 4 de junio en el Hotel de las Letras de Madrid.

El libro reúne varias anécdotas de éste interesante personaje, desde su niñez en un pueblo andaluz de cinco mil habitantes y sus aventuras por varios países como Francia o Italia, hasta su particular filosofía de vida, la cual le ganó el cariño de famosos como Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Penélope Cruz, Paulina Rubio, Juanes o Ricky Martin.

"El cariño es mi forma de vida y de ser", aseguró el escritor.

Para Sanz, Francisco Pizarro es más que el hermano de su madre, es su amigo y consejero. Vivió con él dos años en Miami, donde lo apoyó cuando murió su padre, y le hacía cenas saludables.

"Es un ser vital con muchas vivencias, alguien especial y peculiar, alguien que tiene la habilidad para escuchar y eso hace que gentes dispares se acerquen a él por un consejo, como los hijos de Bob Marley", explicó Sanz.

Alejandro Sanz: His music and worldwide success

 Por  Veronique de Miguel

Alejandro Sanz is one of the most internationally recognized Latin artists. Composer and lyricist of all his songs, he has sold more than 22 million records to date. He is the Spanish artist with the greatest number of Grammy awards; 16 Latin and three American, with 15 published albums, nine of them studio albums. All of them have gone Platinum in Spain, Latin America and the United States.
The 44-year-old singer has collaborated with artists like Shakira, Alicia Keys, The Corrs, René de Calle 13, Joaquin Sabina, Dani Martin, Ivete Sangalo and the legendary Tony Bennett, among others.

From Madrid to worldwide success

Alejandro Sanchez Pizarro was born in Madrid in 1968 but he has a sweet and sensual Andalusian accent in his songs that comes from his parents, both Andalusians, and which likely feeds his fans’ infatuation. This singer, musician and Spanish composer is one of the pop artists with the greatest international reputations. He has obtained the most important awards including the Ondas, Amigo, Grammy- and several Platinum as well as national and foreign Golden Records.
Alejandro Sanz’s (his stage name) love for music is a familiar inheritance: his father was a member of two musical groups and his Godfather is the composer Manuel Alexander. When he was no older than seven years old, little Alejandro already knew how to play the guitar and he soon began to compose as well. When he was 14 years old, his family moved to the district of Moratalaz (Madrid, Spain) and he began to associate with flamenco atmospheres, which he now considers his origins. Thus, he made his first artistic steps. Still in the heat of adolescence, Sanz decided that he wanted to dedicate himself completely to music and so he ran away from home several times. He made his way across the different tourist stops along the Andalusian coast with his guitar, singing in pubs and restaurants in exchange for a plate of food. He began to take guitar lessons and soon he found some jobs in recording studios, where he was hired to create the chorus and be a musical support for singers.

Alejandro Sanz’s first payment as a “music professional” came shortly before he made his first record, “Los chulos son pa cuidarlos,” that was created almost inadvertently. He began composing lyrics and tunes for other groups and singers at the same time he started in the production field with Laventura group.
“Viviendo deprisa” (“Living Quickly”) in 1991 was his first success in the business and the singer became an immediate icon for teenagers, with a million records sold and seven Platinum discs. His first success was followed by “Si tú me miras” (“If You Watch Me”) in 1993, “Básico” (“Basic”) in 1994 and “Alejandro Sanz III” in 1995. When his music began to be widely liked, sold worldwide and his artistic ability was an unquestionable fact, he took care of his parents and bought his dad a Mercedes Benz, created a hair salon for his mother and settled them into a luxurious house of over 6,000 square feet in Madrid.
In 1997, Sanz debuted “Corazón Partío” (“Broken Heart”) within the record “More,” that went No. 1 in all Hispanic countries and turned Alejandro Sanz into one of the most awarded singers and composers of recent history in Spanish language music.

From then on, he began to win awards for his work including four Grammies (best recording, album of the year, best song and best male artist pop album) in the second Latin edition and three awards (best recording, best album and best song) in the third Latin edition of the awards in 2002. In February 2004, Sanz obtained another Grammy for the best Latin pop album with “No es lo mismo” (“It Is Not The Same”).

At the moment: ‘La música no se toca’

After signing with Universal Music Group, Alejandro Sanz returned to the musical scene in June of 2012 with “No me compares” (“Do Not Compare Me” the first single off his new album “La música no se toca”, which boasted a music video directed by American director Ethan Lader. This new production, recorded in Miami, is directed and produced by Sanz himself with the Colombian producer Julio Reyes Copello.
Alejandro Sanz is one of a special few Spanish artists who have crossed borders filling the international musical space and appeal of Latin talent and sensuality. He is sure to be noted as one of the most important icons in Latin Music in history.

Alejandro Sanz llega al corazón de su público en Barcelona

Antonio Orozco se ha subido al escenario en la segunda parte del concierto para cantar a dúo, un gesto muy aplaudid.

 

 

Las letras de amor de las canciones de Alejandro Sanz proyectadas con la fuerza de más 100.000 vatios de sonido han conseguido llegar al corazón del público congregado hoy en el Palau Sant Jordi de Barcelona, donde el artista ha lanzado un mensaje de esperanza a sus compatriotas.

"La utopía es aquello que cuando te acercas se aleja. Das cinco pasos hace ella y ella dan cinco pasos para alejarse. Es así, las utopías sirven ¡para seguir caminando!", ha dicho Alejandro Sanz en la primera escala española de su gira mundial, consciente de que llega a un país a punto de perder la esperanza después de cinco años de crisis.
Transmitir emociones es la especialidad de Alejandro Sanz, que hoy ha logrado inyectar esperanza a su público y ponerle la carne de gallina con temas como "Corazón Partío", "Mi soledad y yo" y "No es lo mismo".
Aunque las fans del madrileño parecen tener bastante con que éste sonría para emocionarse, Alejandro Sanz no lo ha dejado todo en manos de su encanto personal y ha contado con los intensos solos de guitarra de Mike Ciro y la impresionante voz de la corista Sara Divine, que han ayudado a subir la tensión.
Pero la colaboración más celebrada ha sido la de Antonio Orozco, que se ha subido al escenario en la segunda parte del concierto para cantar a dúo con Alejandro Sanz "No me compares".
El espectáculo ha empezado con dos temas de su último disco "La música no se toca", que da nombre a la gira que durante los últimos meses le ha llevado a Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Estados Unidos, Panamá, Perú, Puerto Rico y Uruguay.
Después de que 300.000 espectadores hayan visto a Alejandro Sanz en América, hoy le ha llegado el turno a España, país que el madrileño recorrerá de punta a punta durante los próximos meses.
Barcelona ha sido la primera escala española y el cantante ha programado dos noches en el Palau Sant Jordi de la Ciudad Condal, que tiene capacidad para casi 20.000 personas.
Sanz no ha llenado hoy el Palau y para mañana quedan entradas a la venta, pero los espacios libres que se veían en algunas zona del recinto no han enfriado en ambiente, sino que han permitido a los presentes moverse con libertad en los temas más bailables.
"Por fin en casa", ha gritado Alejandro Sanz tras la segunda canción del concierto, que ha dado paso a un repaso de dos horas por la extensa discografía del compositor.
"Ahora les voy a cantar una canción que acabo de componer", ha bromeado el artista antes de tocar algunos de los temas más conocidos.
El concierto ha empezado a ritmo de rock, con toda la banda vestida de negro y arañando con fuerza las guitarras, pero en seguida le ha llegado el turno a las baladas de amor, que el público, mayoritariamente mujeres, ha coreado emocionado.
Uno de los momentos más románticos de la noche ha sido la interpretación de Sanz de "Enséñame tus manos", acompañado al piano por el catalán Alfonso Pérez, mientras el escenario se convertía en una noche estrellada.
"¿Qué estás ahí escribiendo?", le ha dicho Sanz a una espectadora que tecleaba en su móvil. "¿Estamos aquí o no estamos aquí? Ésta es nuestra noche, ¡que no nos la quite nadie!".
Con el público metido en el bolsillo, Sanz ha encarado la recta final del concierto con la seguridad de quien se sabe querido, pero no ha bajado la guardia y ha seguido seduciendo con gritos de "Arriba Cataluña" y una bandera catalana al cuello.
"Os quiero un huevo", ha dicho a modo de despedida, poco antes de que el sonido de una tormenta anunciara el fundido a negro.
Pero los bises no podían faltar y Alejandro Sanz ha guardado para la traca final temas como "Amiga mía" o "Y, ¿si fuera ella?". Todo un baño de emociones.

                                           Por 19,95 €

 

¿Quién es el Tío Paco? Si la respuesta fuera "el tío de Alejandro Sanz" estaríamos ante una afirmación veraz, pero también sería injusta e insuficiente. ¿Por qué? Porque el Tío Paco es mucho más que un personaje con un sobrino famoso en el mundo de la música a nivel mundial. Ello queda absolutamente reflejado en este libro.
Su vida es apasionante y, además, nos muestra una época de la vida en España, pero también la de otros países en los que él vivió durante algunas temporadas.
Desde su niñez, que vive en un pequeño pueblo de Andalucía, sus vivencias, sus anécdotas, los avatares propios de la vida de un chaval inquieto, avispado y aventurero, van pasando página tras página, con una amenidad que solamente es capaz de transmitir un personaje muy interesante, lleno de amor y autenticidad, en su biografía. El niño que crece y al que su pueblo le resulta pequeño, le lleva, mientras pasa de joven a adulto, por el mundo.
Por su vida desfilan multitud de personajes, todos interesantes, algunos famosos, muchos entrañables, y el Tío Paco nos los muestra desde su particular filosofía de la vida. Una vida que vale la pena conocer y que nos hará reflexionar, expuesta con sinceridad, simpatía y amor a la vida.
El Tío Paco, es un personaje al que vale la pena conocer en este libro de 288 páginas que incluye un álbum de fotos.

Alejandro Sanz "Loves Mexico" Baja Traveler Magazine

 Alejandro Sanz. Cover Story 2013-2014

 By Pat Tyson and Mayté Rodríguez Cedillo

World famous Latin artist, Alejandro Sanz, writes and composes all of his songs. The internationally renowned Latin Grammy winner is not only one of the most successful Spanish singers of all time, but is widely recognized as a global philanthropist and for his dedication to improving access to education for children – and he LOVES Mexico!

BajaTraveler® was honored to interview him and here’s what he had to say on his first visit to Mexico.
“It was back in 1992 when I first visited Mexico for my Viviendo Deprisa tour. I will never forget the love with which I was received by all – the fans, the press, the crew I got to work with.
I fell in love with the country, its corners, its people – their sense of humor.
I made friends back then with whom I’m still close friends.” We then asked him if he had a favorite dish from Mexico and here’s what he had to say…
“I also adore Mexico’s gastronomy, and if I had to select a favorite one, I’d say… tacos al pastor, or cochinita pibil, or birria, or tortas ahogadas, or carne seca, or enchiladas, the arrachera…” it was hard to pick one.
Born in Madrid, Spain, on December 18, 1968, he was the youngest son of Maria Pizarro and Jesús Sánchez. At age seven, inspired by his father who played the guitar professionally, he learned to play the instrument, too. Being exposed to traditional flamenco music, he originally aspired to becoming a flamenco performer, but finally decided to focus on creating popular music with a flamenco flair. At age 20 he was young and courageous and, at 23, walked with great confidence onto Spanish and foreign stages.
At the start of his career in the nineties, Sanz released his debut album Viviendo Deprisa (1991), the top selling record of the year in Spain.  Si Tú Me Miras (1993) and Alejandro Sanz 3 (1995) followed with great success.  However, his true breakthrough was the internationally acclaimed Más (1997), selling more than five million copies.  El Alma al Aire (2000), No Es Lo Mismo (2003) and El Tren de los Momentos (2006) were followed by Paraiso Express (2009), which brought him major recognition, leading to one of the biggest concert tours of 2010.  More than 800,000 viewers enjoyed TOUR PARAÍSO concerts in major venues throughout Spain, Latin America and the United States.  He explains his name adjustment.
“I am a common man with a common name,” he jests.  “The first time I arrived at a music company, I was told that ‘Sanchez’ was very long and very common, so they removed the ‘che’ from the middle!”
He has received 16 Latin Grammys and 3 Grammys – “I should know, especially when I have to clean them!” he says with great humor.
In 2011, Sanz was honored with prestigious awards that include the Spanish Ministry of Culture’s Merit in Fine Arts, the White House Vision Award for his philanthropic work through the Hispanic Heritage Foundation, and the ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) Award in recognition of his great contribution to Latin music.  He is especially committed to social causes and actively supports such organizations as Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children and Greenpeace, among others.  He personally promoted the Positive Generation CD for Doctors Without Borders, which aimed to help fight pediatric AIDS in Zimbabwe.
His latest album, La Musica No Se Toca, was released on September 25, 2012.  It was produced by Sanz himself, along with the famous producer and arranger Julio Reyes Copello, a winner of two Grammys and nine ASCAP awards.  Before its release, La Musica No Se Toca was already reaping huge success with its first single, No Me Compares, which debuted in the Number One slot on the iTunes charts in seventeen countries around the world, and hit the top of the radio charts in the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Colombia, Chile and Ecuador, as well as others.
This album has shaken up the scene with stunning sales figures, which comes as a welcome surprise considering record launches in recent years.  It has gone Quintuple  Platinum in Spain, Double Platinum in Colombia, Platinum in Mexico, Venezuela and Argentina, Gold in the United States, Puerto Rico, Chile, Uruguay, Peru and Central America.  Sanz’s new record has been certified nationally and internationally as the biggest-selling Spanish language album of 2012.
Additionally, the track No Me Compares recently scored nominations for the “Song of the Year” and “Record of the Year categories at the XIII Edition of the Latin Grammy Awards.  His second single, Se Vende has been extremely well received, positioning itself at the top of the radio, television and digital download in a number of different countries.  His third single, Mi Marciana, off La Musica No Se Toca album, was launched in December 2012; Sanz was in Veracruz, Mexico to record the official music video.  The video was directed by  Angel Flores Torres, a talented Mexican scriptwriter, producer and film director who has won seven MTV awards,  Cinematography was handled by Jesús “Chuy” Chávez, widely acclaimed in the film industry in Mexico and the United States. The album reigned over the charts in 2012 and is still holding its ground as one of the top-selling records in 2013.
“Veracruz is an amazing state!” Sanz exclaims, “it gave us a great day – and  magnificent weather.  It is a pleasure to be in a state which truly welcomes you!  It’s an amazing place!”
Mi Marciana marks a turning point in his career.  It blends his unmistakable poetic style with and fresh and innovative music production.  In a very short time, the single has become a big favorite on the album and, after just a few weeks, was a strong contender to the Number One spot on radio and digital download charts.
Sanz set off around the world with his La Música No Se Toca tour in October 2012.  The first leg of the tour was kicked off in Mexico City, where he gave a history-making performance at the Foro Sol for more than 50,000 people.   He continued to perform nine more highly-attended concerts in Mexico and selling out his shows in every province including Cancún, Mérida, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Puebla, San Luis Potosí and Tijuana.
“During a performance, Mexico is amazing, the audience gives themselves to the artist and truly enjoys themselves during a concert,” Sanz added.  “As an artist – while on stage – it’s an honor to be facing an audience as such,” Sanz exclaimed.When we asked him what place in Mexico he loves the most, here’s what he had to say…
Recently, Sanz received three “40 Principales” Awards: Best Music Video for No Me Compares and Best Album for La Musica No Se Toca.  Furthermore, he was rewarded with a special mention as Best Spanish Artist of the 21st Century.  As a tribute to his brilliant career, Sanz has received the “Premio Excelencia” in the 25th Anniversary Edition of “Premios Lo Nuestro” granted by Univision.  He was also nominated for a Best Album of the Year for La Musica No Se Toca, Best Male Pop Artist of the Year, and Video of the Year “Premio Lo Nuestro” award for No Me Comprares.
Most recently, we witnessed how Sanz received the “Premio Lo Nuestro” award for “Male Artist
Of The Year” in the pop music category.  Sanz was worldwide trending topic during his performance and award presentation as singer Ricky Martin presented the singer with the prestigious “Award For Excellence” which honors extraordinary artists for their exceptional achievements and professional excellence throughout their careers.
Although he has succeeded in the “cross-over” from one world to another, he continues to sing in his native tongue.  At times he has joined forces with other famous singers such as Shakira, Alicia Keys, The Corrs, Calle 13´s René, Joaquín Sabina, Dani Martin, Ivete Sangalo and the legendary Tony Bennett to name a few.
“La Musica No Se Toca means “Music is not to be touched,” he explains.  “There are a lot of things in life which can be negotiated – can be changed – but music is something which one must always respect – like when you were a kid and your father said ‘don’t touch that!’   Well, there.”  We concluded the delightful interview with Sanz and asked him what he takes with him from Mexico every time he departs.
“After each visit, I take a little piece of Mexico – in my memories, Mexico is very close to my heart – as it is part of some of the happiest moments in my life.”
