TEDxIbiza Salon — The Culture of Music

In this second edition of our TEDxIbiza Salon series, we explore The Culture of Music — a central thread of our 2026 theme, Thinking Cultura, which looks at how culture shapes who we are, how we behave, and how we make sense of the world. Music is more than sound. It carries identity, memory, community, and resistance. 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 this Salon Music Journalist Jo Youle, founder of electronic music podcast Beat Wala, and the beloved host of three editions of TEDxDaltVila, will guide an intimate conversation with a trio of guest speakers who influence and shape today’s musical landscape. Guest Speakers Igor Marijuan: Music director Akasha Manu Gonzalez: DJ / Producer Shar : Marketing director Chinois Together, they will explore: How music shapes identity and belonging What Ibiza’s musical culture reveals about who we are today How sound becomes both a cultural archive and a catalyst for transformation. Set within the beautiful environment of Soho House Farmhouse Ibiza, this TEDxIbiza Salon offers a warm, informal space to listen, reflect, and engage. As with all TEDx Salons, the audience will be invited into the conversation. Join us as we continue our year-long journey of Thinking Cultura — one story, one voice, and one gathering at a time.
