MESTIZA Return With ‘Salam’ Ahead of Spanish Chica
MESTIZA continue their unstoppable 2026 with the release of their new single ‘Salam’, arriving today, 20th March, as another glimpse into their forthcoming second album Spanish Chica. Already a standout moment in their DJ sets, the track channels the duo’s unmistakable cultural fusion, blending driving Afro House grooves with Spanish rhythmic energy and sweeping Arabic-inspired melodic lines.
Hypnotic and uplifting, ‘Salam’ unfolds through rolling percussion and deep, organic rhythms designed for peak-time dancefloors. Warm Afro House drums underpin the record’s pulse while layered melodies evoke Middle Eastern tonalities, creating a soundscape that feels both spiritual and electrifying. The result is a powerful cross-cultural anthem that captures the essence of MESTIZA’s sound.
Already championed by several global DJs and embraced by crowds during the duo’s performances worldwide, ‘Salam’ has quickly become a fan favourite. Its infectious rhythm and atmospheric melodic motifs showcase MESTIZA’s ability to merge musical traditions with contemporary electronic production, crafting records that resonate far beyond the dancefloor.
MESTIZA Mark a Landmark Year With Hï Ibiza and Coachella
The single arrives amid a landmark year for the Spanish duo. This summer, MESTIZA made history as the first female artists to lead a full-season residency in the main room of Hï Ibiza, currently ranked the world’s number one club. Taking over Sundays in the iconic Theatre space, they will helm a 19-date residency from 31st May to 4th October, marking the first time a female headline act has held a summer-long residency in the venue’s main room.
The Ibiza announcement lands alongside another major achievement. In April, MESTIZA will perform at Coachella, becoming the only Spanish female artists represented at the festival this year. Their debut at the Californian institution underscores the project’s growing international reach and cultural resonance.
How MESTIZA Built Their Distinct Global Sound
After ten years as solo artists, the pair joined forces in 2021 to form MESTIZA, quickly forging a distinct sonic identity that bridges flamenco’s cultural heritage with the hypnotic energy of electronic production. Their sessions unfold as sensory journeys, where house, melodic techno and Latin rhythms collide with the emotional charge of flamenco, transforming the dancefloor into a space of collective ritual and contemporary expression.
Their debut album Quëreles, released in December 2023, debuted at number one in Spain in its first week, establishing the duo as one of the most compelling new forces in electronic music. Featuring national and international collaborations, it set the foundations for a broader artistic universe where music, fashion, symbolism and visual storytelling coexist. Feminine strength, ancestral codes and immersive stage design remain at the heart of their identity.
Now, with their second album Spanish Chica set for release on 10th April, and a wave of global festival appearances and high-profile cultural moments unfolding across 2026, MESTIZA continue to expand their vision on an unprecedented scale.
MESTIZA Continue Expanding Their Global Reach
With ‘Salam’, MESTIZA continue to prove why they remain one of the most exciting acts in electronic music today. Their ability to blend tradition, identity and forward-thinking production has helped them carve out a lane that feels uniquely their own. As anticipation builds for Spanish Chica, the duo’s momentum only continues to grow, with major festival appearances, headline performances and cultural milestones placing them firmly on an international stage. If ‘Salam’ is any indication of what is still to come, MESTIZA are heading into the next chapter with unstoppable force.
