“I am very excited, I have huge desire that you listen to what we have been doing this year. This is a first part of what will happen,” said Sanz in a clip on Instagram hours before the launch.
It was June 2005 when Shakira launched his sixth studio album, Oral fixation vol. 1. Among the themes of the album, practically one success after another, The torture He told the story of a woman with an unfaithful boyfriend who abandoned her for another but then returned to her, repentant.
In the distribution of roles, of course, Sanz played the traitor lover and Shakira – at a time when the empowerment was not yet referring to women and she was still Antonio de la Rúa’s girlfriend – she made the sore but relentless protagonist.
The result of this first collaboration between Shakira and moving away from Sanz was a sensual and catchy succession of Latin rhythms with uploaded letters that an entire generation still remembers with a half smile. Shakira herself was then somewhat worried about the result of the video clip they recorded for The torture and in which she redefined what was a suggestive dance. “I worried that it was too explicit,” he said.
A few days ago, during the tour of Shakira’s America, Alejandro Sanz went out by surprise to the stage to sing with her The torture.
The videos of the performance turned around the Internet and Sanz himself published on his social networks images of the moment as an advance of Kiss me.
