Coleccion Definitiva

In 2011, Alejandro Sanz left Warner after 20 immensely successful years. Predictably, the label soon released Coleccion Definitiva, a four-CD/DVD box set surveying the eight studio albums Sanz made for the label, from 1991's Viviendo Deprisa to 2009's Paraiso Express, as well as a myriad of live and compilation releases (including the three-CD/DVD package Grandes Exitos 91_04, which overlaps considerably with this collection). The first two CDs of Coleccion Definitiva focus on Sanz's many greatest hits, such as "Corazon Partio" and "Cuando Nadie Me Ve." The third disc is devoted to Sanz's appearances on other artists' (Shakira, El Canto del Loco, Miguel Bose, etc.) albums, while the fourth gathers together 13 of Sanz's duets, including those with Ketama, Ivan Lins, Joaquin Sabina, and Enrique Morente, among others. The DVD features all of Sanz's video clips. A downsized edition containing only the first two greatest-hits disc is also available. ~ Mariano Prunes
