The last few months have not been easy for Alejandro Sanz. Among other problems that the Madrid native has had to deal with in recent weeks are a possible scam in Miami by an acquaintance, problems with his mood and a breakup with his partner for the last three years, Rachel Valdés. . However, in the last few hours he has reasons to celebrate, since he has received recognition as an honorary doctor by the University of Cádiz for joy.
It was this Thursday when the interpreter of songs such as Corazón partío or Nuestro amor will be legend was recognized in a solemn ceremony held at the Higher Technical School of Engineering of Algeciras (Cádiz), which was attended by the president of the Government of Andalusia, Juanma Moreno. The artist received the laureate cap, the book of science, the ring of antiquity and the medal, as symbols of his new status as an honorary doctor. “Today I feel honored and enormously grateful,” said the man from Madrid, who dedicated “this speech to a subject that is not taught in any university in the world: joy.”
They have not been easy months for Sanz, but the artist is clear that he must deal with sadness. “From the most serious moments you have to learn, be constant, and learn and learn, until the difficulty subsides and the wind of liveliness little by little, first like a breeze, and then like an upheaval of our own, fills everything.” again like a tingling in our thighs,” he expressed. “Sadness, worry, can only be a springboard for our two halves, the part of us always united to the ground, to our roots, our culture… our history… and the other part always floating, always looking at the horizon,” he stated. .
After a few hours, he reappeared through his social networks to show how happy he feels to have been awarded this recognition by the university of the land of his parents, of his childhood and adolescence. “The most important subject in our lives is joy. And we are all outstanding. Today, you named me an Honorary Doctor by the University of Cádiz, happy and excited, I can only thank and dedicate it to those who make art with a pencil, to those who make students with a blackboard, to those who make stories with a guitar, to the beauty of living always looking for a note, a number, an equation or a star or a detail that saves us,” he stated.
It was at the end of May when the author of When nobody sees me sent a message that left all his fans worried. “I’m not fine. I don’t know if this is of any use, but I want to say it,” he wrote on his social networks, then adding the reasons that led him to that state of mind. However, time seemed to heal everything, since a few weeks ago he launched a message through social networks that was totally contrary to the first.
“I am experiencing an incredible moment of personal learning. It is the most amazing trip I have ever taken in my life,” said the artist. “The most difficult, but the one that is taking me to the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen on my inner planet,” he continued explaining. The artist has taken refuge in the warmth of his fans and his family to face the difficult moment he has experienced, especially in the support of his children: Manuela, Alexander, Dylan and little Alma. Now it seems that the artist has found the light at the end of the tunnel or, at least, is working to find it.
