This week on Blueboy’s Café Balearic Beats, we pay homage to José Padilla — not by trying to recreate Café del Mar, but by following the path José understood so beautifully: Balearic was never simply a genre. It was a feeling. A freedom to place records together because of where they took you, not where the record shop told you they belonged.

Across two hours we travel with José alongside Wally Badarou, Jean-Michel Jarre, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Steve Miller Band, Astor Piazzolla, Eric Serra, Roxy Music, Wim Mertens, David Morley, Peter Gabriel, Cymande, Grace Jones, Marvin Gaye, Santana, Carpenters, 10cc and Pat Metheny.

From Maybe the Sunset and Adiós Ayer to our closing Sabor de Verano — a journey for the man who changed the way so many of us listen. For José. Always.
