In the beginning of 1988 was released album "...Nada Como el Sol" that is a porguese translation of "...Nothing Like the Sun". Album includes portuguese versions of five songs that were taken from Sting's first two solo albums.
• "...Nothing Like the Sun" was followed by "Soul Cages" that were released in 1991. The album's title track won a Grammy Award.
