Nada Como el Sol is an extended play by English musician Sting, containing five songs from his second solo album Nothing Like the Sun sung in Spanish and Portuguese and published in 1988.[1] [2] It therefore contains versions sung in Spanish of the following four songs: Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix titled here Mariposa Libre, Fragile retitled Fragilidad, We'll Be Together whose title becomes Si estamos juntos, They Dance Alone translates to Ellas danzan solas (Cueca solas) and finally Fragile performed also in Portuguese which becomes Frágil. The same musicians as on the original English versions can be found on this EP.
