After two years of soul-searching and studio experimentation, four-time GRAMMY® and 22-time Latin GRAMMY® winner Alejandro Sanz returns with¿Y Ahora Qué? (And Now What?), a transformative album that marks his first release under Sony Music Latin. Recorded between Spain and the U.S., the six-track collection signals a new chapter for the iconic artist, one rooted in collaboration, vulnerability, and artistic reinvention.
The title ¿Y Ahora Qué? isn’t just a name, it’s a question that has followed Sanz through every creative rebirth. “It’s the question I ask myself every time I start a song, end a tour, or decide to begin again. It’s about the courage to get back up and ask, ‘Now what?’” says Sanz. That sentiment pulses through the entire album, from the emotional minimalism of “Palmeras en el Jardín”, written on a metaphorical rainy day, to the honesty of “Hoy No Me Siento Bien,” a chart-topping collaboration with Grupo Frontera.
The project also features two standout moments of generational synergy. On “CómoSería,” Sanz joins forces with Colombian hitmaker Manuel Turizo, while “Bésame” reunites him with Shakira for the first time since their global hit “La Tortura,” which celebrated its 20th anniversary earlier this year. The production showcases a more relaxed, communal creative process, with contributions from acclaimed producers and writers including Edgar Barrera, Elena Rose y Andy Clay,Spreadlof, CASTA, Richi López, Luis Salazar, and Hector Rubén Rivera—a team that helped reshape Sanz’s traditional solo approach and bring fresh textures to his sound.
¿Y Ahora Qué?builds on a landmark year for Sanz. From his performance at Premio Lo Nuestro to a surprise onstage reunion with Shakira at the kickoff of her U.S. tour, momentum has been steadily building. Now, he’s ready to bring this powerful new era to the stage with his just-announced “Ahora Qué” tour, kicking off this September with 12 shows across Mexico.
¿Y Ahora Qué? is more than an album — it’s the musical response to life’s uncertainties, a celebration of resilience, and the beginning of something entirely new.
