He describes his new project as a constant challenge.<\/em><\/h3>\n<p lang=\"es-ES\">The seeds of Ale Acosta\u2019s new electronic-focused direction were planted in 2008 after an exhibition at the Puerto Calero Art Gallery. \u2018I\u2019d just closed a chapter with Mojo Project, which was more funk-led, and Nita and I were already starting to lay the groundwork for Fuel Fandango, which draws on flamenco-fusion,\u2019 he recalls. \u2018Unbeknownst to me, that performance marked the birth of the Ale you see today.\u2019<\/p>\n<p lang=\"es-ES\">\u2018In fact,\u2019 he adds, my new project, El Porvenir (The Future), began in 2024 and I\u2019m already working on pieces for Volume Two. It\u2019s the sound of the new me, carrying my roots into how I make music.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>On his YouTube channel (@AleAcostaMusic), you can see how he blends sophisticated electronic soundscapes with unapologetically local, ethnographic imagery like vine pruning, Carnival, Canarian wrestling (lucha canaria), alongside iconic locations like Plaza del Carmen and Famara; and legendary figures like Don\u0303a Valentina from Sabinosa. El Porvenir also features collaborations with artists like Juancho Marque\u0301s and C\u0327antamarta.<\/p>\n<p>When asked the obvious question, \u2018So, what\u2019s next on the horizon?\u2019 He laughs. \u2018I ask myself the same thing every morning&#8230; That\u2019s actually the title of the first single I released to frame my new direction with El Porvenir, which is my first solo project.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018My connection to Lanzarote is emotional, but entirely real,\u2019 he continues. \u2018My very first production studio was even called Famara. I live in the Sierra de Madrid now, I have two children and I\u2019m putting down roots, but I travel back to my island regularly.\u2019 He pauses. \u2018My origins push me to explore new languages and test my limits with every song. I find the process fascinating and absolutely love it. Of course, I draw on everything I&#8217;ve done before, but approaching each new track still feels like the butterflies of a first kiss.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Flanked by two percussionists, a large video screen, stage lights, various electronic &#8216;bits of kit,&#8217; as he affectionately calls them, Ale Acosta delivers a powerful live performance at events like Sonidos Li\u0301quidos. \u2018With electronic music, you take pre-recorded elements, but the magic happens on stage where you mix and create in real time. It&#8217;s all about connecting with the audience, with the help of visuals too.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Right now, I\u2019m focused on exploring the duality of belonging to two places. That permanent longing for the place you\u2019re not in \u2013 la magua!. My sound is essentially the same, but I love incorporating lots of percussion, voices, and merengue, a rhythm that was central to my childhood.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lanzarote-born creator, composer, and producer Alejandro, \u2018Ale\u2019, Acosta has serious pedigree: three Latin Grammy nominations and a career that began in the early 2000s.
