Mëstiza, a Spanish DJ duo comprised of Pitty Bernad and Belah, is set to make their Coachella debut this weekend, coinciding with the release of their sophomore album 'Spanish Chica.' The electronic act, which blends flamenco and traditional Spanish sounds, is the only women's act from Spain performing at the Indio, California festival this year. Mëstiza hopes to 'open doors for women starting out in electronic music' and share their unique cultural perspective with festival-goers.

Why it matters

Mëstiza's Coachella performance and new album release mark a significant milestone for the independent Spanish duo, who are aiming to elevate the visibility of women artists in the electronic music scene. As the only female act from Spain on this year's Coachella lineup, Mëstiza's presence represents an important step towards greater diversity and representation at major music festivals.

The details

Mëstiza was formed in 2021 by DJs Pitty Bernad and Belah, who developed the project under their own label, Sacro. Their music is deeply rooted in flamenco and traditional Spanish sounds, with the duo wanting to create a 'concept that matched their music and was connected to their tradition.' The new album 'Spanish Chica' marks a shift towards a more club-oriented electronic sound, while still incorporating Arab, African and Oriental influences that are embedded in flamenco. The album's title reflects an attitude of embracing one's Spanish heritage and bringing it into the present 'without fear.'

  • Mëstiza will perform at Coachella this Sunday, April 12, 2026.
  • Their new album 'Spanish Chica' was released on Friday, April 10, 2026.
  • On May 9, 2026, Mëstiza will present 'Spanish Chica' in Paris, performing from the second floor of the Eiffel Tower.
  • On May 31, 2026, Mëstiza will kick off an extended residency at Hï Ibiza, where they're scheduled to play through October 4, 2026.
