Catalan artists release new music exploring identity and local social issues

Several Catalan musical artists are releasing new projects centered on identity and local social issues.

Albaé has released ‘Em coneixes del barri’, a song performed in Catalan that blends contemporary pop-rock with urban energy. The track serves as a declaration of identity, focusing on the artist's origins and the importance of authenticity without conforming to external expectations. The musical style features a dynamic production with prominent guitars and a rhythmic base.

Meanwhile, the artist Baaldo has released the EP ‘Un estiu a casa’. The four-track project utilizes electronic rhythms, reggaeton, and dembow to explore life in Calvià, Mallorca. Through an ironic lens, the EP addresses the challenges of mass tourism in the region while maintaining an LGTBIQ+ perspective and a fresh, urban aesthetic.
