Alejandro Sanz

Spaniard Alejandro Sanz has risen to the top of Latin American charts in recent years. Rightly lauded as a singer, songwriter and producer, Sanz has revived sagging careers (including Julio Iglesias's) and lent his golden touch to a slew of pop singers' hits. While ballads butter his bread, Sanz can sing with the husky intensity of a Gipsy King when he wants to - which isn't too often.
