Liner Note Author: Alberto Vila. Recording information: Criteria, Miami, FL; The HIT Factory. While a quick glance might cast Alejandro Sanz as another Latin pop heartthrob in the mold of Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin, et al, he's much more than that. For one thing, EL ALMA AL AIRE, despite its success, isn't riding the gravy train that began with the aforementioned cover boys in the late 1990s; Sanz was making fine music way before all that pop furor took place. For another, the songs here never avail themselves of the sledgehammer hook/do-or-die production aesthetic behind the crossover appeal of those artists. In fact, Sanz's music bears only a nodding acquaintance with Anglo pop/rock. Unlike so much "Latin pop," Latin musical elements predominate on EL ALMA, as the acoustic guitar and syncopated percussion that are central to so many of the arrangements here attest. Sanz is a pure romantic, and EL ALMA AL AIRE is full of soft, lush tunes that will tug at your heartstrings, whether you speak Spanish or not.
