LAS DALIAS IS IBIZA'S ONLY TRUE CONCERT HALL AND OLDEST VENUE.
IT HAS AN INTERIOR AREA WITH A CAPACITY FOR SOME 450 SOULS AND
A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN AREA FOR SOME 500, AS WELL AS AN OUTDOOR BACK AREA FOR LARGE GIGS UP TO ABOUT 2000 PEOPLEWE'VE BEEN ROCKING THE ISLAND WITH LIVE ACTS SINCE 1954!!!!!
On the 4th of November, 1954, Las Dalias threw it's opening party bigtime.Local peasants stormed in for a proper shindig and to guzzle down all there was (some 6000 drinks).The place remained the Soddom and Gomorrah of Ibiza North for years, as the local parish priest started projecting cinema to attempt to drag his flock back to his church and away from the sins of the flesh that had become so popular in Las Dalias' dancehall. Flamenco dancers were brought in to entertain the early tourists of the 60s and by the 70s, hippies started throwing jam sessions in the garden after their local market day.In the 80s, upon passing on command within the family that own the venue, to a younger and more vital Juanito Mari, Las Dalias started it's own hippy market that has now become the
most prominent one on the island, with about 20.000 people passing through on summer Saturdays. Studios Mediterraneo were built in San Juan and bands doing albums there, would throw blowout gigs after the long and often tedious recording sessions.
The 80s saw the likes of Nina Hagen, Sham 69, Judas Priest, members of UB40 as well as all the big Spanish Heavy Metal bands of the day (Obus, Sangre Azul, Panther, Banzai, Baron Rojo, etc) on the stage of the main
hall. Amongst the members of the audience, you could find Ron Wood, Jimmy Page, Brian May, Mike Oldfield, Bob Geldof.etc and then some!
After the Studios burnt down, quiet times befell Las Dalias till the
arrival in 1997 of yours truly, Chris Gonzalez (check my profile if you're curious).
In-house productions of musical tribute shows celebrating the great
icons of Rock (Lennon, Bowie, Police, Harrison, Marley, Pink Floyd, etc) became massive get-togethers for local and visiting musicians.Several bigtime Spanish Pop stars & bands played the venue (Carlos Segarra,
Nacho Garcia Vega, Coque Malla, Loquillo, Bulldog, Nel.lo & Banda del
Zoco, Vargas Blues Band, etc) as well as some international figures like
Paul Collins, Lee Rocker or Mandalay, The Kings of Convenience or even Nina Hagen, who returned leaving the black leather at home to sing
Mantras, these last three within the bounderies of the Namaste party, a chilled Hippy event still celebrated on Wednesdays to this day.The past couple of years the addition of Prem Joshua has added to their musical family and ours.
The opening of the Garden will be on May 28th this year, and though the program is yet unconfirmed, it's a always been a true bash!!
Wednesdays, which has been the popular "Namasté" party for 10 years, will have a new name and is upgrading this year to new heights of groovinessas of June 3rd, it will open with a similar setting, though with new World Music acts and a new air of "Signature Minimal" as DJs like Lenny Ibizarre, Nima Gorji or Madame Tina flavour the mix with their personal influence in the form of twinges of Jazz and dashes of Hard Rock.with of course, oodles of Ibizan eccentricity colouring the crowd.
Info on other events will be forthcoming soon
The songs you hear are from the album "Las Dalias - Feeling Ibiza", released in 2001, co-produced with Lenny Ibizarre and and the album "Las Dalias - Acoustic Ibiza", released in 2008 on the label by Paco Fernández & Chris Gonzalez, "Too Much Music" with the
