Balearic2 135

Balearic music, originating from the Balearic Islands of Spain, is a diverse and eclectic genre known for its blend of electronic, folk, and world music elements. Characterized by its laid-back, ambient soundscapes, Balearic music became synonymous with the island of Ibiza’s relaxed, inclusive club culture in the 1980s. This genre encompasses a wide range of styles, from chillout and house to ethereal pop, all unified by their ability to evoke the serene, sun-drenched atmosphere of the Mediterranean. Balearic music’s influence extends beyond its island origins, shaping the evolution of electronic dance music worldwide.
