EUROPALIA ESPAÑA: art as force to fight polarisation
EUROPALIA celebrates its 30th edition this autumn with a large-scale Spanish biennale. Their original mission still holds true today, more than ever: to bring people and cultures closer together through art. More info on the full programme can be found here.

AB will host EUROPALIA ESPAÑA for three days in a row, with (contemporary) flamenco as the focal point. Signed up: electronica meets flamenco act Yeli Yeli & ROMERO (Wednesday 3 December 2025), flamenco legend Lole Montoya or ½ Lole Y Manuel (Thursday 4 December 2025) and Rosalía producer Raül Refree (Friday 5 December 2025).

Yeli Yeli & ROMERO
Yeli Yeli & ROMERO is the duo consisting of Spanish singer Álvaro Romero (also frontman of RomeroMartín – check out their album Manifiesto Flamenco) and Portuguese DJ Pedro Da Linha (see too: his collaboration with DJ Branko of Buraka Som Sistema). Musically, they organically fuse electronica and flamenco. Lyrically, they focus on themes like “historical memory, collective identity, gender roles and male violence”.

The living and exciting proof is their debut Jamón, Romero Y Chocolate: “A rhythmic amalgam that hyperventilates in the different flamenco palos, from the corralera sevillana to the guajira, the rumba, the tanguillos. An album that has come to change the flamenco code of the future from a kind of hyperbolic, indefinable worldbeat that inhabits spaces never before inhabited by a flamenco singer. A masterpiece.”

This is a Liveurope concert: the first pan-European initiative supporting concert venues in their efforts to promote emerging European artists. Liveurope is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
