The Spanish DJ duo Mëstiza, consisting of Pitty Bernad and Belah, is set to make their debut at Coachella, coinciding with the release of their second album, Spanish Chica. The duo, known for their unique blend of electronic music with flamenco and traditional
Spanish sounds, aims to open doors for women in electronic music. Their project, Sacro, has expanded from Madrid to international cities like Miami and Dubai. Spanish Chica introduces new sonic influences, incorporating Arab, African, and Oriental elements, marking a shift from their previous album. The duo's performance at Coachella will feature flamenco dancers and a traditional ensemble, showcasing their cultural roots.
Why It's Important?
Mëstiza's debut at Coachella represents a significant milestone for women in electronic music, highlighting the growing diversity and inclusion within the industry. By incorporating traditional Spanish elements into their music, Mëstiza is not only preserving cultural heritage but also innovating within the electronic genre. Their success as independent artists at a major festival like Coachella could inspire other women and minority groups to pursue careers in music, potentially leading to greater representation and diversity in the industry. The duo's international expansion reflects the global appeal of their music and the potential for cross-cultural collaborations.
What's Next?
Following their Coachella performance, Mëstiza plans to continue touring in major U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and Chicago. They will also present their album in Paris from the Eiffel Tower, followed by an extended residency at Hï Ibiza. These events will further establish their presence in the international music scene and provide opportunities to reach new audiences. Their ongoing success may lead to more collaborations and performances at other major festivals, potentially influencing the electronic music landscape.
