Alejandro Sanz’s Ecuadorian fan clubs try to spoil the Spanish artist with gifts on his first visit to the country since the pandemic

Gabriela Ruiz, member of ‘Living quick’, one of the three Alejandro Sanz fan clubs in Ecuador, has not missed a single concert of the Spanish artist on Ecuadorian soil. Her love for the singer goes back to her adolescence, and that affection has accompanied her right through to adulthood. His 8-year-old son Alejandro takes his name from the interpreter of Broken heartand already shares a love of Spanish with his mother.

Ruiz and his son are among dozens of Sanz fan club members who will see the singer live at Guayaquil’s Modelo Stadium. It is the first time since the beginning of the pandemic that the interpreter has performed live in Ecuador, and his fans will not miss the opportunity to shower him with gifts and letters, as they usually do.

Clubs have the advantage of being able to purchase tickets at prime venues, as well as the ability to interact with the artist through meetings, and on some occasions can participate in pre-concert sound checks.

They also deliver gifts to the companies that manage the artist’s arrival in the country. Each group of fans gives you as an organization a gift, but individual members can also send additional gifts and letters.

On this occasion, Ruiz announced, his club wants to give him a national team shirt, in addition to giving him “the most exquisite cebiche”, as the Spaniard told his press officer that he is a fan of mixed cebiche.

Although her admiration for the singer-songwriter is similar to Ruiz’s, Mónica Gorozabel, from the ‘Ecuador Sanzero’ fan club, wanted to call her youngest son, three years old, Alejandro, but her husband would not allow it. However, he is busy instilling his admiration for Sanz in his 6-year-old daughter, who prefers the most recent discography of the singer of My friend.

His fan club always tries to surprise the artist with gifts representative of the country, and on the occasion of his 2013 tour, they gave him a guitar made of flowers. Through this gift, they explained to Sanz the importance of the flower industry in the country, a situation the Spaniard was unaware of, according to Gorozabel. During her 2020 tour, her group gave her a piano made of flowers.

Both women agree that the way of being a fan changed as they got older. “As a teenager it’s crazy, you’re in love with the artist, you love him, you spend hours in the hotel just to see if he suddenly comes over. Later you grow up and understand letters and art, admire other things,” says Ruiz.

For Gorozabel, the art of Spanish has helped her overcome several difficult moments in her personal life, and her way of supporting the singer-songwriter has changed from a matter of “illusion” to “thank you” for the art she creates. She has also accompanied the singer when he played in nearby countries such as Colombia.

Building a community is also another benefit. Gorozabel gives satisfaction to be able to share travels and experiences with people united by a common interest: their adoration for an artist.
