Costa Blanca, Spain. Vacation Soundtrack Intro

Everything on this profile is generated with the help of AI tools. DJ Duende is a virtual Avatar.
I am the creator, my name is Emilio Leonardo.

Born and raised in the Costa Blanca, Spain, I started as a DJ at the local radio station and discovered the Benidorm nightlife in the late eighties, early nineties.
After moving to northern Europe as a teenager I kept on coming back every year as a tourist.

On this Soundcloud account I get to be creative and make the music I always wanted, but never could because Í´m a visual artist, not a musician.

These new Ai tools allow me to experiment with a fusion between traditional Spanish flamenco and modern beats without having to learn to play any instruments.

My first album; “Costa Blanca Vacation Soundtrack” is about my vacations in Spain and the places I visit. The songs contain entries from my travel journal in their description.

With my text, visuals and music, I hope to make you feel the Costa Blanca vibe too.
