Enrique Iglesias Born Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler May 8 1975 Is A
Enrique Iglesias (born Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler; May 8, 1975) is a Spanish occasional actor and singer-songwriter of part Filipino descent, popular in both the Latin market and the Hispanic American market in the United States. He has also had ten number-one songs on Billboard’s Dance charts, more than any other single male artist. Billboard also named Enrique the number two Latin artist of the years 1986-2011 (Luis Miguel taking the first spot). His mother is a Spanish Filipino and his father is of Spanish ancestry from Galicia. He also lived in Belgrade, Serbia, for one year with his mother. His song ” Por Amarte” was included in Televisa’s telenovela Marisol, but with a twist: instead of Por amarte daría mi vida (To love you, I’d give my life), the words were Por amarte Marisol, moriría (To love you, Marisol, I’d die). The album went on to win Iglesias a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Performance and still the only Grammy received by Enrique. The album also included a cover version of the Yazoo song “Only You”, translated into Spanish as “Solo en Tí”.
