Raül Refree

Raül Refree is one of the more important European producers of the last decade. His stylistic breadth and versatility have led him to have a profile that ranges from experimental musician to producer of pop stars or composer of award-winning soundtracks. Interested from the beginning in the renewal of traditional music, Raül Refree has become in recent years the name of reference for new flamenco in Spain working alongside names that have grown up under his sound such as Rosalía, Rocío Márquez or Niño de Elche . His album with Rosalía has been a Gold record several times. Also his production for the Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin earned him a Grammy in the 2020 edition. His collaboration in recent years with members of Sonic Youth, producing the last three albums of Lee Ranaldo and making the last one, “Names Of North End Women” (MUTE, 2020), in duet with the author have caused the name of Raül Refree to be more and more known across the Atlantic. His presence as a producer in Sonic Youth’s studio, Echo Canyon West, where he has worked with Sharon Van Etten, Nels Cline or Kid Millons between others has become him an important piece in today’s New York’s scene. His latest album, together with the Portuguese singer Lina, where Raül Refree has revisited traditional Portuguese music, Fado, has been one of the most valued of 2020 by the European press media such as Telegram, Pitchfork or Pop Matters, being chosen best album of the year by the European Broadcasting Union.
