David Bisbal Collaborates with Alzheimer's Association for Music Moments Campaign

David Bisbal Joins the Alzheimer's Association

In a significant move to raise awareness about Alzheimer's disease, three-time Latin GRAMMY winner David Bisbal has joined forces with the Alzheimer's Association for their Music Moments campaign. Launched five years ago, this initiative aims to illustrate the profound emotional connection between music and cherished life moments that Alzheimer's disease can strip away from both individuals and their families.

Music Moments Campaign

The Music Moments series is a digital storytelling initiative that seeks to highlight the personal impact of Alzheimer's and draw attention to the resources provided by the Alzheimer's Association to affected communities. As the second Spanish-speaking artist to contribute, following renowned musician Luis Fonsi, Bisbal’s involvement underlines the campaign's commitment to reaching Hispanic and Latino communities, who are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer's and related dementias.

Bisbal's Personal Connection

Bisbal's latest contribution includes a heartfelt rendition of his song 'Mi Princesa', a beloved track from his 2006 album Bulería. The song holds special significance for Bisbal as he shares that it brings joy to his father and aunt, both of whom are living with Alzheimer's. Expressing his gratitude, he states, "I feel honored to join the Music Moments campaign to help create awareness about the impact of Alzheimer’s in the Hispanic community. Music has always been a powerful force in my life and can spark joy even in difficult times. This song can make them smile, and that’s all I wish to achieve."

The Growing Alzheimer’s Crisis

Currently, nearly seven million Americans aged 65 and older live with Alzheimer’s, a figure that continues to rise. Statistically, Hispanic individuals have a 1.5 times greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s than their white counterparts, with higher incidences of missed or delayed diagnoses among older Hispanic adults. As Dr. Joanne Pike, President and CEO of the Alzheimer's Association notes, "Music has the power to define special moments and people in our lives, things no one should lose due to a devastating illness like Alzheimer’s." The Music Moments campaign not only aims to raise awareness but also encourages conversations and resources to support those affected.

Upcoming Developments

More engaging content from the Music Moments campaign will be released throughout the year, and the Association is committed to expanding its reach and support network. Interested individuals can view Bisbal's touching performance of 'Mi Princesa' by visiting alz.org/musicmoments. Alongside Bisbal, the campaign also features contributions from artists like Amy Grant and Mickey Guyton, amplifying diverse voices in the fight against Alzheimer’s.

Bisbal’s Career

David Bisbal, known for his powerful vocal range and emotional lyrics, gained fame as a finalist on the Spanish version of 'American Idol,' Operación Triunfo, in 2001. With over two decades in the industry, he has become a significant figure in Latin music, earning more than 80 awards, including three Latin GRAMMYs. His philanthropic efforts and commitment to raising awareness about issues like Alzheimer's underscore his role as not just an artist, but also a socially conscious advocate.

Upcoming Tour

This year, Bisbal is also making headlines with the announcement of his 'Back In The USA 2025' tour, marking his return to live performances in the U.S. after a hiatus since 2021. The tour is set to span 19 cities, kicking off on May 13 and concluding on June 15, with stops in major hubs such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami.
