United by talent, language, and a shared love for music, Alejandro Sanz and Shakira have created successful collaborations in the past. Despite rumors of a romantic relationship, their connection remains one of camaraderie and friendship. Recently, Alejandro took the opportunity to send Shakira a heartfelt message, reminiscing about their collaboration on the song “Te Lo Agradezco, Pero No” from his album “El Tren de los Momentos,” which was released on January 11, 2007, marking its 17th anniversary.

In his social media post, Alejandro expressed his appreciation for their collaboration, stating that in their language, it’s a way of saying “I appreciate it, but no.” He celebrated their 17 years together and emphasized the importance of dancing through life and expressing gratitude, even when saying no. He shared a clip from the music video, which was filmed in the streets of New York, featuring an epic and passionate dance scene in front of a food truck.

This isn’t the first time Alejandro has celebrated an anniversary with Shakira. Last year, he marked the 18th anniversary of their hit song “La Tortura” and expressed his admiration for his “little sister” Shakira.

Their friendship remains strong, as evidenced by Shakira attending Alejandro’s concert in Miami with her children. She praised Alejandro’s artistry and his close connection with his audience in a social media post.

After his public breakup with Rachel Valdés, Alejandro embarked on a new musical journey with Sony Music in June 2023, a milestone that Shakira celebrated by welcoming him “home” to the same record label where she is signed.

Their bond and mutual support continue to thrive, showcasing the enduring friendship between these two talented artists.
