Alejandro Sanz - MTV Unplugged (2001) Review by Drago Bonacich Recorded at Miami's Gusman Center, Alejandro Sanz joined the MTV Unplugged series with a prolific acoustic performance, singing for the first time a Latin pop, flamenco-inflected ballad called "Y Solo Se Me Ocurre Amarte," dedicated to his daughter, Manuela, and the single hit "Aprendiz," previously recorded by Malú. Produced by Lucho Gatica's nephew, the talented engineer Humberto Gatica, Alejandro Sanz's MTV Unplugged features well-balanced versions of "Corazón Partío," "Quiero Morir en Tu Veneno," and "Amiga Mia," delivering his best songs in a relaxed and intimate way.
