Spanish Crooner Alejandro Sanz and ‘Mi Marciana’

The World

Alejandro Sanz is one of the most successful Spanish-speaking romantic singers in a market that’s flooded with romantic ballad crooners.

Perhaps you’ve heard of Julio Iglesias?

Yeah, there are lots of them.

But Alejandro Sanz has found his niche and a way to make his romantic songs sound different.

He also uses an interesting terms-of-endearment to his loved one.

He prefers to say Mi Marciana, which means ‘my martian.’

He even wrote a love song about it.
