Dúo AREÍ Vocal duo and Flamenco guitar performing boleros, Latin music, and English pop

AREÍ is a duo of two voices and Spanish guitar, delivering elegant acoustic performances that blend Latin music, boleros, and international pop. Their sound is intimate, warm, and versatile, perfect for concerts, cultural events, private celebrations, and weddings. If requested, percussion can also be added to enhance the performance, while keeping the focus on the core duo.

AREÍ is a musical project created by Bárbara Gragera and John Lix Feliciano. The duo connects southern Spain and the Caribbean through an expressive acoustic sound built around vocal harmonies and Spanish guitar.

Their music blends pop, boleros, and Latin American repertoire with subtle flamenco and Caribbean influences. The result is a versatile and emotional performance that moves naturally between English-language pop, Latin classics, and original interpretations, creating a warm and engaging atmosphere for audiences.

Bárbara Gragera, a singer from Granada, brings a contemporary melodic style influenced by English-language pop and Latin music. Her voice is warm, expressive, and naturally suited for both intimate acoustic settings and concert performances. In 2024 she joined the project Nuevos Aires, performing with them at CubaDisco 2025, and in 2025 she co-founded AREÍ with guitarist John Lix Feliciano.

John Lix Feliciano, originally from Puerto Rico, is a guitarist whose style reflects both flamenco expression and Caribbean musical heritage. He completed the Master’s Degree in Flamenco Performance at ESMUC in Barcelona in 2016. His album Por Borikén (2023) was selected among the ten best musical productions of the year by the National Foundation for Popular Culture (2023) and later received the International Award at CubaDisco 2025.

Together, AREÍ presents a repertoire that combines original compositions and carefully arranged versions of boleros, Latin songs, and international pop. Each piece highlights the blend of two voices in harmony and the expressive sound of Spanish guitar, creating a distinctive acoustic experience.
