Lilian Baylis Studio

Álvaro Romero

Yeli Yeli

Yeli Yeli unites avant-garde electronica DJ’ing with queer flamenco and experimental reggaeton in this dance party.

Featuring a collective of artists including: Cádiz-based cantor Álvaro Romero (lead singer of Romero Martin); Lisbon-based producer Pedro da Linha (founder of Enchufada); and Portugese DJ Branko (part of the music collective Buraka Som Sistema).

In this DJ night, the audience are invited to join in on the dancefloor as they look at music of the past and present, and explore how colonisation has made its musical mark on both Spain and Portugal. This evening expresses the Iberian feeling without limits or borders: it is about identity and not about the country.

Álvaro Romero

Álvaro Ramírez Romero decidió borrar su primer apellido para homenajear la herencia femenina de su madre. Así, rebautizado como Álvaro Romero, trasladó esta búsqueda identitaria a su propia voz, iniciando un camino de ruptura con la concepción tradicional del cante jondo reconvertido en herramienta de activismo.
