Alejandro Sanz

To me, Alejandro Sanz is a genuine pillar of Spanish-language music. The Madrid-born singer, composer and guitarist has amassed 24 Latin Grammys and 4 Grammys, taking Album of the Year three times, which places him firmly in the realm of the perennial winners. Yet beyond the trophy count, what I admire most is his craft: the way he keeps a whiff of flamenco alive while shaping it into polished pop. The passion in his voice translates even when the lyrics do not. He is a Latin master who genuinely conquered the wider world, and I hold him in real esteem.
