As a child I used to walk Alejandro Sanz a bridge connecting two districts of Madrid and imagined that the road passing below was filled with people who heard sing and play guitar
.
“ I had dreams, like everyone else. He dreamed of playing “Spanish singer said in a recent interview. He never thought, however, that he would reach the top in his career. “Never, never,” he replied emphatically.
Since launching his first album, Living in haste in 1991 , Sanz has sold over 23 million albums, won 17 awards Latin Grammy and three Grammy, has collaborated with artists such Tonny Bennett, and has taken his music for dozens of countries.
Syrup, their tenth studio album, was released on Monday and although I feel happy for their work, their level of self is so big it has emotions
(Read here: Alejandro Sanz presented the cover of her new album).
“I feel with that mixture of satisfaction on the one hand, because I know I’ve given up, I worked very hard and very thorough way to make this record, and also have great confidence in the team that work ; but otherwise always do it again, I would change almost everything. It’s that mix of emotions, “confessed the 46-year musician, who has also worked with Shakira, Alicia Keys, Laura Pausini and The Corrs, among others.
At the bottom Sanz has a good hunch about his production, for she said. “I am confident that all this has more to do with the effort that luck”
Produced in conjunction with the Argentine engineer Sebastian Krys, Syrup includes 13 unreleased songs made by the Spanish in which dyes pop, rock, funk and flamenco characteristic voice Sanz mix.
In the album involved the Cuban-American trumpeter Arturo Sandoval ; and one of the songs, captain cap, the voice of Dylan appears, the youngest son of Sanz, of four years, who maintains a brief conversation with his father.
It is a “very eclectic in sound” disco, said Sanz. Includes “ An arrangement as very sound, has stage , as if you were as a band, but also considerable sophistication … I like to see that the instruments are voices in the song” He elaborated.
For that special touch were involved sessions Sanz usually with musicians such as Lenny Kravitz and Juanes, in a tank of goods of a friend from Miami to where they usually gather to play at private .
“There in that scenario have recovered many the joy of playing, and there arise a lot of these arrangements of music,” said the singer.
Sanz began recording the album notes your voice on your mobile phone. After eight months of solitary work decided to convene Krys, but not before writing an e-mail with stern warnings that it would not accept any change in their songs.
Now that the disc is finalized, the Spanish appreciated the contribution of the Argentine engineer and considered an accomplice in the recording process, but makes it clear that their records are always very personal.
” I absolutely what I want on disks … I consider myself very independent when making my records “said the musician during the interview in a modern apartment with a floor 20, with ocean view.
Are you very demanding?
“Mucho, me the most. If not picky then I could not look in the face to people. Feel much shame because this is a job where you are exposed a lot, “answered his gaze.
It sounds the ball , the Spanish duets with the Dominican Juan Luis Guerra.
“So I started looking for something to do together in the record, I like this song because it has nothing to do with salsa or merengue or bachata with or anything what he has done, but the letter does seem to be very close to it, “said Sanz, which in total has released 16 albums until now. “Only someone like Juan Luis Guerra happiness would be taken as seriously as it deserves,” said the Spanish.
The first single, a zombie in the open, came to light on March 2 and is ranked first on iTunes in Spain , Latin America and United States.
