Tenerife Producer Roberto Palmero Climbs Global Afro House Charts

Tenerife-based producer Roberto Palmero is making waves on the global electronic music scene. The La Laguna native recently hit a major career milestone, with his latest track, Baamapo, reaching number five on the Traxsource global Afro house sales chart—a key benchmark for the industry.

Released on the "We’re Here" label, owned by fellow Canary Islander Pablo Fierro, this success is the culmination of a career that began in 2008. Palmero has built his reputation by blending underground sounds with broader, more accessible styles. Beyond his own music, he also runs his own label, Pura Music, where he has cultivated a distinct sound that has caught the attention of top industry figures.

Palmero’s work has earned the support of some of the world’s most influential DJs. His tracks are now regular fixtures in the sets of artists like Marco Carola, Loco Dice, Jamie Jones, Green Velvet, Joseph Capriati, Bedouin, and the collective Keinemusik. For a Spanish producer to gain this level of recognition in such a competitive global market highlights the growing maturity of the Canary Islands' electronic scene.

Palmero’s success also reflects a broader shift in the music industry, proving that artists no longer need to be based in traditional music hubs to reach a global audience. From his base in Tenerife, he has become a leading name in contemporary Afro house. As he prepares for future releases, his trajectory shows how dedication and a clear creative identity can turn local talent into a recognized brand on the world’s biggest stages.
