Beat Wala 28: The Culture of Music in Ibiza

Music is more than sound. It carries identity, memory, community, resistance & even rebellion. It builds bridges across generations, defines places, and reflects the social and cultural realities we inhabit. In Ibiza, music has long been a defining cultural force — shaping the island’s stories, rituals, and global imagination. For a very special episode of Beat Wala, we invited an audience to Soho House on the island intimate conversation with a trio of guest speakers who influence and shape today’s musical landscape. Guest Speakers: Igor Marijuan: Music director Akasha Sharon Simonetta: Chinois Manu Gonzalez: DJ / Producer Together we explored how music has shaped the islands cultural identity and what Ibiza’s musical culture reveals about who we are today. We heard how sound becomes both a cultural archive and a catalyst for transformation. Thank you to Manu for the opening track, One Kiss Ft Kiki.
