Shakira and Alejandro Sanz reignite their chemistry with "Bésame," their third collaboration: "This is real music."

Shakira and Alejandro Sanz release "Bésame," a collaboration that revives their musical chemistry after 20 years. Part of Sanz's EP, the song excites fans and generates nostalgia on social media.


Twenty years have passed since Shakira and Alejandro Sanz made us dance with "La Tortura," and now they are back with "Bésame," a new collaboration that reunites two of the most beloved artists in Latin pop. The song is part of the Spaniard's new EP, ¿Y ahora qué?, and has sparked a wave of nostalgia and excitement among their fans.

Since they released "Te lo agradezco, pero no" in 2006, fans have been eagerly asking for a new collaboration. The connection between them is not only professional but also personal: they consider each other great friends, and that chemistry is evident. “Shakira and Alejandro are musical soulmates,” wrote a follower, encapsulating the sentiments of many.

The enthusiasm has been so great that from the very first day of its release, social media was flooded with comments celebrating the collaboration. “This song could resonate with anyone; it’s beautiful,” commented one user. Others took it further: “Get married already, don’t torture us any longer,” joked one fan, while another made a clear request: “We demand a music video and that they kiss.”

The expectation did not come out of nowhere. During a recent concert in the United States, Alejandro Sanz surprised the audience by appearing on stage with Shakira to perform La Tortura together, reviving an iconic moment. For many, it was the unofficial notice that something new was on the horizon.

Although "Bésame" presents a more romantic and hopeful tone compared to their previous collaborations, the audience still feels the same intensity. "There's no need to sing naked or say vulgarities. This is real music," expressed a comment that was applauded by hundreds. Fans celebrate that, despite the passage of time, both artists' style retains its essence.

Twenty years after their first collaboration, and with a fan base that has only continued to grow, Shakira and Sanz showcase that there are duos the public never forgets. "They made magic again," is a sentiment echoed repeatedly on social media. And although they haven't promised more songs together, the reaction has made it clear that if they decide to do so, thousands will be waiting for them.
