Spanish pop superstar Alejandro Sanz holds the record for most Latin Grammy Awards for "Album of the Year." Considered the most commercially successful Spanish singer of all time, Sanz is sure to enthrall the audience at the Berklee Performance Center with his romantic blend of flamenco-influenced ballads. He will perform arrangements by Berklee students and will be joined in this performance by a large ensemble of Berklee students. The concert will be produced by Oscar Stagnaro with Matthew Nicholl as musical director.

Berklee's Javier Limon, artistic director of the Mediterranean Music Institute, has long been a friend to and collaborator with Sanz. Last semester, Berklee students in Limon's Songwriting in Spanish course were invited to produce a video of the Spanish sensation's hit song, "La Música No Se Toca ," which you can view here:
