Biography

Ale Acosta is the artistic name of Alejandro Acosta, a Lanzarote musician, producer and composer whose career links Mojo Project, Fuel Fandango and a solo phase centered on El Porvenir.

Open biography

Music career

Ale Acosta began in 2004 with Mojo Project, a pioneering Spanish funk-and-electronic band, and later consolidated Fuel Fandango alongside Nita, a duo with more than fifteen years of activity, international touring and an album such as Origen that reached number one in Spain. In 2024 he opened his solo career with El Porvenir, a work dedicated to Lanzarote that gathered collaborations with Valeria Castro, Çantamarta, Depedro and Juancho Marqués. Today he is an active music producer and artist, with an emotional return to the island at the heart of his current stage.

Contribution

His importance lies in translating Lanzarote roots into an electronic language with national and international reach, first through Mojo Project and Fuel Fandango and later through a solo project that explicitly returns to Lanzarote. He also holds a visible place in contemporary Spanish production thanks to his work as a producer and to the nomination and award tied to La Ceniza.

Style

His music rests on a rhythm-driven electronic base that crosses funk, flamenco, pop, rock, soul, jazz and Atlantic references. Mojo Project worked as a laboratory of funk and electronic music; Fuel Fandango added the flamenco crossing; and El Porvenir returns to that blend from a more personal perspective tied to Lanzarote’s soundscape.

Repertoire

His repertory focuses on the Fuel Fandango LP, El Porvenir and La Ceniza, along with pieces linked to Lanzarote’s imagery such as Famara and La Plaza del Carmen.

Legacy

His legacy combines production, live performance and a way of thinking about Canarian music as an open circuit: local in memory, international in form and useful as a reference for artists seeking to link roots and electronic music.

Canary Islands connection

His Canarian connection rests on his birth in San Bartolomé, on the weight Lanzarote carries in El Porvenir and on the way his music returns to island materials, places and memories.
