AARON SEVILLA PRESENTS ‘FLAMENCO FUTURO’: SPANISH ROOTS FIND A NEW LANGUAGE ON THE DANCEFLOOR

Aaron Sevilla, P.Rivas and Oliver Gil bring together flamenco, Spanish musical heritage and contemporary electronic music in a ten-track album that takes deeply rooted melodies into a new sonic dimension.

Some songs belong to a generation. Others eventually belong to several. They are melodies that survive the passing of time because they carry something beyond music: memories, emotions, places and identity.

Now, those melodies are entering a new territory.

Aaron Sevilla, P.Rivas and Oliver Gil present ‘Flamenco Futuro’, a ten-track album of reinterpretations that connects Spanish musical heritage with the energy of contemporary electronic music, particularly through the global language of Afro House.

The project begins with a simple but powerful question: what happens when Spanish musical roots enter the club?

The answer is not simply a fusion of genres. ‘Flamenco Futuro’ creates a dialogue between two seemingly different worlds, allowing guitars, vocals and melodies deeply embedded in collective memory to coexist with deep basslines, electronic percussion, synthesizers and grooves designed for a global audience.

FROM MEMORY TO THE DANCEFLOOR

‘Flamenco Futuro’ is built around one central idea: a root does not lose its identity when the landscape around it changes.

Flamenco has always evolved. It has absorbed new influences, moved through different environments and found new ways to connect with new generations. Aaron Sevilla, P.Rivas and Oliver Gil continue that evolution through a contemporary electronic perspective.

The result is an album that can live in different environments — from an intimate headphone listen to a sunset session or the centre of a packed dancefloor.

Tradition does not disappear.

It evolves.

That is at the heart of ‘Flamenco Futuro’: demonstrating that cultural identity and modernity can exist within the same musical language without either one losing its essence.

TEN SONGS, ONE IDENTITY

The album brings together ten reinterpretations of songs that have become familiar to generations of listeners:

A Dos Amigos · Que Cara Más Bonita · Una Gitana del Rastro · La Saeta · Estilo Gitano · Ilusiones · Esta Cobardía · Así Me Gusta a Mí · Mi Musa · El Triste

The repertoire moves through different emotional territories — love, heartbreak, nostalgia, celebration, sadness and strength — while retaining the melodies that connect these songs to Spanish musical heritage.

Each production faces the same creative challenge: transform without erasing.

The original spirit remains present, while new structures, textures and electronic energy give each composition an entirely different dimension.

‘Flamenco Futuro’ does not look to the past simply to remain there.

It looks back in order to move forward.

AARON SEVILLA: AN ARTISTIC IDENTITY ROOTED IN CULTURE

The vision of Aaron Sevilla sits at the heart of the project.

The Spanish artist has developed an international identity around Afro House, incorporating Latin influences, organic sounds, Spanish folklore and flamenco into a contemporary electronic framework.

That relationship between cultural roots and club music also sits at the core of Afrodise, the project through which Sevilla has continued to develop and expand his artistic vision internationally.

Throughout 2026, Sevilla continues to build a growing international presence through performances and projects connected to recognised festivals and stages, reinforcing a philosophy in which Spanish culture can naturally coexist with global electronic sounds.

‘Flamenco Futuro’ represents a natural evolution of that journey.

“I want to take my roots somewhere new without losing their essence.”

A statement that perfectly captures an album built around identity and evolution rather than nostalgia alone.

P.RIVAS AND OLIVER GIL: WHERE THE TRANSFORMATION TAKES PLACE

P.Rivas and Oliver Gil play a key role in shaping the sonic universe of the album.

Their production work allows the ten tracks to function as a cohesive body of work rather than simply a collection of independent reinterpretations.

This is where the transformation happens.

Traditional melodies find new structures. Guitars and vocals interact with bass and electronic percussion. Organic elements gain new depth, while the groove becomes the physical engine behind each production.

The ultimate goal is for listeners to stop asking where flamenco ends and electronic music begins.

Simply listen.

And, after a few seconds, start moving.

‘LA SAETA’: RESPECT, MEMORY AND RISK

One of the album’s most significant moments comes with ‘La Saeta’, a reinterpretation lasting more than six minutes and featuring Peppe Citarella alongside Aaron Sevilla, Oliver Gil and P.Rivas.

Reworking a piece so deeply connected to Spanish culture and collective memory represents one of the project’s greatest creative challenges.

When a song belongs to the collective imagination, people do not hear only a melody.

They hear memories.

Images.

Family.

History.

That is why ‘Flamenco Futuro’ approaches these reinterpretations with respect. The intention is not to replace what each song represents, but to bring it into a new musical context.

A PROJECT WITH A GLOBAL OUTLOOK

The international ambition of ‘Flamenco Futuro’ does not come from trying to make flamenco sound international.

It comes from something much simpler:

emotion is already universal.

You do not need to understand the entire history behind a song to feel its melody. You do not necessarily need to know every cultural reference to respond to its rhythm.

Music does not always need translation.

Afro House provides a global language capable of carrying elements of Spanish musical identity into new clubs, festivals, territories and audiences.

The album also expands its sonic universe through collaborations with Les Castizos on ‘Ilusiones’, Alex Duvall on ‘Mi Musa’ and Peppe Citarella on ‘La Saeta’.

Collaborations that enrich the journey without moving its creative centre away from its core:

THIS IS NOT A FUSION. IT IS AN EVOLUTION.

The word ‘fusion’ is often used when discussing projects that bring traditional and electronic music together.

But ‘Flamenco Futuro’ approaches the idea from a different perspective.

It is not simply about combining two genres.

It is about preserving, experimenting and transforming.

About allowing cultural identity to travel towards a new generation.

About understanding that tradition and evolution are not opposing forces.

Roots do not have to be chains.

They are coordinates.

They tell us where we come from, but they do not determine how far we can go.

THE FUTURE HAS A MEMORY

With ‘Flamenco Futuro’, Aaron Sevilla, P.Rivas and Oliver Gil deliver more than an album of reinterpretations.

They present an artistic statement.

A commitment to memory.

To transformation.

To club culture.

To festivals.

And to a generation that may discover these songs from an entirely different perspective.

The album was officially released on 28 August 2026 via Afrodise, bringing Spanish musical identity into conversation with one of the electronic music languages with the greatest global reach.

Because perhaps the future of a tradition is not about protecting it from change.

Perhaps it is about giving it new reasons to stay alive.

And if new generations eventually discover these songs on a dancefloor, surrounded by thousands of watts and raised hands reaching towards the sky, then we are not witnessing the end of a tradition.

We are hearing its next chapter.
