Spain is in luck on a musical level. And not only because our country has become one of the references within the world music scene thanks to our leading artists, but also because since this year we have the 5020 Madrid studios, one of the largest and most avant-garde creative spaces in Europe and Latin America.
Sony Music is behind the development of this studio that has a precedent in its image and likeness in Miami (5020 Biscayne Blvd), a musical reference to promote creation and collaboration between Spanish and Latin artists, and building cultural and creative bridges between Spain , Europe, and Latin America. Some of the most global hits by artists such as Shakira, JLo, Camilo, Rauw Alejandro and Marshmello, among others, have materialized there.
Before its official premiere this April, the 5020 Madrid studios have been filming before the official opening and have been a place of visit for artists, members of the press, producers, etc. And we don’t know any other response other than fascination with this new place: “The artists who come don’t want to leave,” José María Barbat, president of Sony Music Spain, tells us.
“We want to take advantage of this massive cultural offer of concerts by Latin artists who spend the entire summer here giving shows and festivals and have their space to take advantage of the off days to come to the studio for their own work and share their talent with Spanish artists and producers. “explains the head of the record company. “With artists like Rosalía, Nathy Peluso or C Tangana, Spain has an ecosystem of Latin urban music that is impacting the entire world.”

“It has 4 rooms, 2 on the ground floor and 2 on the first floor. One of them is where we are doing the interview next to studio B, which is the rock studio because of its acoustics. The ground floor is the most collaborative space associated with the new generations of urban pop and electronica. It has an 85 square meter studio, which is something rare to find because they tend to be small rooms. And it has a 500 meter terrace that we will use for events, artist presentations, showcases… “José María Barbat tells us about the figures left by this incredible study. “It’s a shame that I wasn’t ready to leave here with El malquerer, Motomami or El Madrileño that have put us on everyone’s lips.”
Madrid now has the largest recording studio in the country and one of the most important in Europe, an avant-garde infrastructure on an international scale that was created to stimulate the creative process where it is forged, the place where artistic inspiration arises. “Nathy Peluso’s next album has already been recorded here. It is the first one made and the ambition is that songs and albums come out of here that not only conquer the charts but also awards and recognitions.”
5020 STUDIO Madrid has more than 1,800 square meters, a spacious interior, and outdoor areas that offer a relaxed and creative atmosphere, perfect for unleashing all the creative potential of artists and creators, to which we must add extensive musical and technological equipment with the most innovative recording and production systems.

“In addition to technical excellence, because we have the latest in technology related to recording and producing music, we have the space for creativity to flow. It is the great added value that we want to give to our ecosystem of artists and creators but also to be the springboard for English, European and people from any part of the world who want to get closer to the Spanish scene” recognizes Barbat.
5020 STUDIO Madrid represents a leap in quality in the infrastructure of recording studios in Spain and Europe, and brings new cultural value to the capital, as it turns it into a global meeting point with visits from artists and industry professionals. from all continents.
This creative space will be part of an entire network that Sony Music has promoted, is promoting or will promote in Miami, Mexico City, Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires. The idea of developing this global creative circle comes from the need to influence – provide and enrich – the very essence of artists, musicians and creators, who are the core of the project. Artists, musicians, sound engineers, music producers and collaborators can meet and create together both in the recording studios and in all the facilities and comforts that the building offers.
