We landed in Granada for a five-day edition of Boiler Room x Ballantine’s True Music Studios. The current centre of gravity for the new blend of Spanish popular music – where traditional music culture meets electronic sounds!

IN CONVERSATION WITH EL BLOQUE: SPANISH MUSIC, AT A CROSSROADS OF TRADITION AND INNOVATION

We held two in-depth conversations hosted by El Bloque. First, we focused on an artist’s guide to developing their craft and an exploration of how music culture is influenced by diversity with La Zowi.

Next, we delved into the relationship between traditional and urban music beyond the street, with special guests Haze, Lucia Fernanda, Roxana Pappalardo, and Antonio Narvaez.
