ABRE LA PUERTA
w/ NICK MITCHELL MAIATO

NQRA founder Nick Mitchell Maiato moved to Spain in 2019. It didn’t take him long to realize something he’d spent 40-odd years being blissfully ignorant of—that Spain has a rich history of singularly Spanish-sounding, weird, often complex and regularly psychedelic music, beginning toward the end of the Franco dictatorship in the late 1960s but really coming to fruition in 1975 after Franco’s death. 

In Abre La Puerta, Nick explores the new lease of listening life bestowed on him by his adopted home’s 20th century artists. A veritable goldmine and your potential new obsession. Abre la puerta, niña. Que el día va a comenzar.
