Listen To The Traditional Tunes In Costa Del Sol

Whether your lounging on the beach in Spain on your cheap holidays or going for a

hike in the country, why not update your playlist to reflect the country's rich culture. Home to some of the best jazz, blues and flamenco beats, there's plenty of homegrown music to give you a more authentic flavour of the Costa del Sol while you're on your bargain holidays there.

Renowned as the founders of flamenco, the Costa del Sol region of Spain enjoys a strong flamenco music tradition. In fact, each year the region hosts three flamenco music and dance festivals, with the Ronda festival in particular showcasing a mixture of established flamenco singers with young talent. Artists like Fosforito, Jose Merce, and El Capullo de Jerez are just a few of the artists that have performed at the festival in the past, and continue to influence the local music scene of Costa del Sol. The region also takes great pride in its folk music.

Like the Costa Brava, the Costa del Sol also enjoys a dedicated jazz and blues scene. One of the region's well-loved artists, Mama Paula has been playing the blues with her big band for years and has toured throughout Europe, even playing a concert at the Royal Albert Hall. One of the most popular bands in the region is Costa Rock, which incorporate blues elements with rock 'n' roll, and are also regulars on the summer festival scene. Similarly, rock group Cero Cero combine elements of soul and reggae with pop and rock genres for a unique sound that has made them a favourite performer among locals in the Costa del Sol.

Given the Costa del Sol's unique musical heritage of traditional flamenco and Andalucian folk with jazz, pop, and today's hits, it is unsurprising the region hosts an extensive schedule of festivals in the summer. Perhaps the biggest festival in the Costa del Sol is the Creamfields Andalucian festival, which showcases the finest DJs and dance musicians in the world. They also provide a stage for the Costa del Sol's homegrown DJs, like Bony Stuche and Dub Elements, to highlight the region's young talent. The Costa del Sol also celebrates its musical heritage with yearly folk music festivals in Cadiz, Almeria, and Orgiva.
