They say the sky’s the limit and that it’s important to follow our dreams. Just ask Karol G, who, after checking off several goals from her list, has just made another dream come true.

The Colombian star has teamed up with Andrea Bocelli for a new version of ‘Vivo Por Ella’, joining forces with the international legend who has made history in music for decades. Bocelli’s talent in classical music has set a new standard and inspired countless artists to pursue their dreams.

However, some in the younger generation might not be as familiar with the Italian maestro, who was captivated by Karol’s voice and decided to collaborate with her on this fresh and surprising take on the mid-90s classic.

Who is Andrea Bocelli?

Andrea Bocelli was born with a visual impairment on September 22, 1958, in Lajatico, Italy. Despite doctors advising his mother to terminate the pregnancy, she chose not to, and because of that decision, today we have one of the greatest legends in classical music. Bocelli’s rise to fame began after winning the prestigious Sanremo Music Festival in 1994. Before that, he was performing in piano bars and entering local competitions.

As time went on, his music—spanning pop, classical, crossover, opera, and light music—started to win over audiences worldwide, leading to over 75 million albums sold. Inspired by greats like Luciano Pavarotti, Enrico Caruso, and Mario del Monaco, Bocelli’s work over the years has stirred deep nostalgia and emotion in his most loyal fans.

His Most Well-Known Songs

Some of the tenor’s most famous songs, which have made a lasting impact in the industry, include:

  • ‘Con Te Partirò’
  • ‘Bésame Mucho’
  • ‘Time to Say Goodbye’
  • ‘Cuando Me Enamoro’
  • ‘Perfect Symphony’, among others.

In addition to his well-known songs and this new one with Karol G, Andrea has teamed up with other renowned artists, including:

  • Ed Sheeran on ‘Perfect Symphony’
  • Marta Sánchez on ‘Vivo Por Ella’
  • Céline Dion on ‘The Prayer’
  • Bono on ‘L’Incontro’
  • Christina Aguilera on ‘Somos Novios’
  • Barbra Streisand on ‘I Still Can See Your Face’, among others.
