Listen to musical career highlights from the 2017 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year

Sep 17, 2017 - 9:00 am

Few artists in any genre — or any language — have been as successful and influential as Spanish singer/songwriter Alejandro Sanz. With 18 Latin GRAMMY and three GRAMMY wins to his name, Sanz's worldwide influence is truly massive.

His first recognition from the Latin GRAMMY recognition came in 2001 when he took home Album, Record and Song Of The Year honors for El Alma Al Aire and its title track. Since then, Sanz's star continued to rise, fueled by a prolific output of original music and several high-profile collaborations. He performed on the 44th Annual GRAMMY Awards with Destiny's Child in 2002, and at the Latin GRAMMYs he partnered with Shakira in 2006 on "La Tortura" and with Alicia Keys in 2009 on the English crossover "Looking For Paradise."

Earlier this year, Sanz was named the 2017 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year, not only for his unparalleled success as an artist, but for his substantial philanthropic contributions to organizations such as Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children and Greenpeace, among others. The singer/songwriter will be honored during a prestigious gala on Nov. 15 at Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.

In celebration of his career, we'd like you to take a listen to some of Sanz's biggest hits and finest career moments in this special playlist. ¡Disfrutar!

1. "No Es Lo Mismo"
2. "¿Lo Ves?"
3. "La Tortura" Shakira feat. Alejandro Sanz

4. "La Primera Persona"
5. "Tu No Tienes Alma"
6. "Amiga Mia"

7. "Looking For Paradise" feat. Alicia Keys
8. "Desde Cuando"
9. "El Alma Al Aire"
10. "Te Lo Agradezco, Pero No" feat. Shakira
11. "Corazon Partio"

12. "Deja Que Te Bese" feat. Marc Anthony

A 23-time Latin GRAMMY winner and two-time GRAMMY winner was chosen for the honor, which celebrates its milestone 20th anniversary, for his, "creative artistry, unprecedented humanitarian efforts, support for rising artists, and philanthropic contributions to the world," according to a statement from The Latin Recording Academy.

"Juanes is young, but legendary, an artist who has inspired us through his amazing music for many years and—while doing so—he vigorously campaigned for political, social, and positive change around the world," said Gabriel Abaroa Jr., President/CEO of The Latin Recording Academy. "His leadership and his philanthropic work, in addition to his positive messages that transcend music, speak volumes about his many contributions to the community and we are truly honored to recognize him as this year’s Latin Academy Person of the Year."  

Juanes' philanthropic efforts include his work with his organization Fundación Mi Sangre (My Blood Foundation). Also, he is a co-founder of Paz Sin Fronteras (Peace Without Borders), where he continues to raise awareness for the power and importance of peacebuilding with extraordinary credibility and consistency. He spoke to what this distinguished honor from the Latin Recording Academy means to him and his career.

Juanes Relives When He First Became A Solo Artist

"I remember attending the Latin GRAMMY nominations announcement after my first solo album was released, and becoming so overcome with emotion from the shock of hearing my name called seven times, that I had to step outside for a moment to process how my life had just changed forever," shared Juanes in a statement. "I was blessed to win three awards that year, and The Latin Recording Academy has been a fundamental part of bringing my music to a global audience ever since. Now, I am grateful and deeply honored to learn that I will get to join such illustrious artists as Juan Luis Guerra, Carlos Santana, Caetano Veloso and more, as the Person of the Year honoree, while also helping The Latin Academy's efforts to support future generations of new Spanish-speaking artists."
