In 1995, the single Si Tú Te Vas preceded the release of the debut album Enrique Iglesias, which instantly gained popularity in his native Spain, as well as Portugal and Italy.

In 1997, Iglesias’ second album, Vivir (“To Live”), was released. The performer selected the best musicians with experience working with Elton John, Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen, and went on tour, in which he visited 16 countries, playing 78 concerts.
