What is the afrohouse.

afrohouse is a style of electronic music that fuses the structure of house with rhythms, percussion and melodies rooted in Africa. The result is a hypnotic, warm and eminently danceable sound that has made its way from festivals to the finest clubs in the world. In Madrid, it has become the genre of the moment for those seeking a night with more soul than the commercial dance floor.

Why it's in fashion.

afrohouse resonates with a crowd that wants something more sophisticated: long DJ sets, a refined atmosphere and an energy that relies not on the big hits but on the rhythm. It is the perfect soundtrack for premium nightlife — elegant, enveloping and discerning.

Where to hear it: Ïstar.

If you want to experience afrohouse in Madrid, there is one name above the rest: Ïstar. In the heart of Serrano, in the Salamanca district, it has established itself as the city's temple of afrohouse. Impeccable sound, enveloping light and a select crowd that fills the floor night after night.
