Alejandro Sanz Las raíces de Alejandro Sanz son y serán siempre flamencas. "Aprendí a hacer música con el flamenco", confesando de nuevo una pasión que ahora le lleva a un nuevo proyecto: Lola Records, según ha informado Aire Flamenco. Lola Records se dirige a los jóvenes artistas antes que a los consagrados y al flamenco tradicional que no necesita de fusiones ni experimentos. Alejandro ha confirmado así que está montando un sello discográfico dedicado al flamenco, explicando que su fin es "por supuesto sin ánimo de lucro, sería disparatado desear tenerlo". A lo que añadía que, "Queremos grabar a todos esos artistas que no tienen oportunidad de pasar por un estudio, y queremos grabarlos en condiciones, como se graba el flamenco puro, con voz, guitarra y palmas". Con este nuevo proyecto por tanto, Alejandro Sanz busca recuperar la forma pura de grabar y editar flamenco que existía antes, así como ofrecer a los artistas noveles la posibilidad de darse a conocer.
