Colombian singer Shakira and Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz.
After multiple successful collaborations over the years, including "La Tortura" and "Te Lo Agradezco, Pero No," Alejandro Sanz and Shakira have reunited again a new song included on the Madrid native's recently released EP.
The song, titled "Bésame," hits digital platforms just days after the stars joined forces on stage in Charlotte to perform one of their iconic anthems during Shakira's Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour.
"Bésame" is the third time the musicians have teamed up for a song. Two decades earlier, Sanz joined Shakira for "La Tortura" from Oral Fixation, Vol. 1. The pair reconnected in 2006 for her El Tren de los Momentos LP with "Te Lo Agradezco, Pero No."
"I'll tell you the truth, if life is beautiful, you and it are so alike/
In the end I don't dare let fate decide/
If there's any risk of seeing me without you, I don't want to bet."
20 years after "La Tortura"
The new song also appears 20 years after the release of "La Tortura," which Shakira herself told Rolling Stone was one "of the few songs that were played in Spanish on U.S. radio."
A few days ago Sanz began dropping hints about the new collaboration on social networks, and shared clips with some fragments of the song's lyrics.
Alejandro Sanz's new EP Y Ahora Qué, includes tracks with Grupo Frontera on "Hoy No Me Siento Bien" and with Manuel Turizo on "¿Cómo Sería?" This is his first project since his 2021 eponymous album, Sanz.
