Tra te e il mare
Tra te e il mare and Entre tú y mil mares are the sixth studio albums by Italian singer Laura Pausini. The Spanish-language edition was released on September 11, 2000 while the Italian-language edition was released on September 15, 2000 by CGD East West Records. As of January 2001, the album sold 400,000 copies in Italy, peaking at number 2 on the Italian Albums Chart. The album has sold 4,000,000 copies worldwide.
The Spanish-language edition was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album at the 2nd Latin Grammy Awards, while its producers were nominated for Producer of the Year.
In late 2011, a 30-second snippet of a song named "Sonambula" was leaked online, attributed to Pausini. After a controversy alleging that the song was from Pausini's then-upcoming album Inedito, Pausini confirmed that "Sonambula" was an unreleased demo from Entre tú y mil mares.
The track "Per Vivere" was written by Pausini after she went to Rio de Janeiro in early 1997 and saw many children on the street. Since the same year, Pausini makes money donations to the Romão de Matos Duarte institution.
