Electronic and experimental club music inspired by the folklore of the Balearic Islands and the ancient Mediterranean mystery.
Early field recordings intertwine with techno synthesizers, polyrhythms, and ritualistic beats.
Behind this music lies a culture quietly pushed to the edge of disappearance, following the radical social transformations the islands have undergone since the 1960s as a consequence of mass tourism, perhaps most visibly in the case of Ibiza.
The ritual dimension is central to this music. Repetition and electronic patterns create forms of trance that seek not only to make the body move, but to induce a particular, almost ceremonial state of listening. The club becomes a contemporary site of transmission and memory, where fragments of an ancient heritage can be reactivated and projected into the future.
Ba Lé Yaroh is not a folkloric project. It is an exercise in imaginary archaeology: an attempt to uncover traces of a music that never existed, but might have existed if history had unfolded differently.
It looks beyond the hegemonic influence of Anglo-American music and cultural colonialism, seeking instead to root itself in Balearic culture, or in a kind of holographic image of what that culture could have become.
