El Baile is a tribute to the history of the island and to dance itself as a symbol of freedom, all looking to the future. A concept, created by Olivier de Busturia (Doumi San) of Nomad Suntribe, that tries to move away from the DJ-centric model to offer an artistic experience that tells a story. More than 50 artists will participate in this production including aerial acrobats, dancers, actors and other performers who will interact not only with the audience, but also with holograms and other technological installations..

Exclusive visit
In terms of music, the Pacha Ibiza residency opens with an exclusive visit from Erykah Badu. The American artist, a benchmark in black music, pioneer of contemporary RnB and winner of four Grammys, lands on the island for the first time and does so with her alter ego as a DJ, Lo Down Loretta Brown. She will be accompanied by South African Zakes Bantwini, author of ‘Osama’, hit of the summer to date, Kiddy Smile, LGTBIQ+ icon and one of the freshest artists on the current house scene.
In addition, the line-up is completed by two of the DJs who paved the way in an eminently male-dominated world. On the one hand, Sarah Main, supported at various times by the voice of Amberay. And on the other, Tania Vulcano.
More prominence for women in electronic music
El Baile starts from the past, from the present, but dancing towards the future with Ibiza and its people. A future of diversity and equality, where a greater role for women in the electronic music scene is advocated. The El Baile lineup is made up of more than 70% women, a milestone in the clubbing scene, which will break with industry standards, betting more on sounds with feminine energy and supporting the #equal movement that fights for gender equality.
