    Balearic Music Summer Mix

    Alejandro Cohen

    As summer approaches, I wanted to create a mix inspired by Balearic music. The genre is often associated with Ibiza and its roots in bohemian culture, which over time evolved into the global dance music destination it’s known for today. Blending elements of Spanish music, downtempo rhythms, flamenco guitars, and a touch of house, this Balearic mix is designed to get you into summer mode before it even begins.
