In 1992, Alejandro Fernández released his debut, self-titled album, launching one of the most prolific, successful and memorable careers in Latin music.
He has released 15 albums and selling more than 12 million copies along the way thanks to a magnificent, velvety voice and an unparalleled stage presence. With stage fright long forgotten, Alejandro has even forayed into film, most recently portraying Mexican hero Zapata in the acclaimed film by Oscar-winning director Alfonso Arau (“Like Water for Chocolate).
In 2005 Alejandro launches MEXICO MADRID EN DIRECTO Y SIN ESCALAS (Mexico – Madrid Nonstop). the production features Fernandez performing some of his biggest hits accompanied by a 28-piece orchestra and some of Spain’s most important voices on three of the songs: Amaia of La Oreja de Van Gogh joins him on the “Me dedique a perderte” ; Malu duets with him on “Contigo Aprendi”, and flamenco star Diego Cigala and Fernandez perform a moving version of Como quien pierde una estrella, accompanied on cajon by famed Flamenco guitarist Niño Josele.
