Synopsis

Miarma City, the early twenty-first century. The fanfare of Expo 92 and its promises of progress are little more than a faint echo in the collective memory, while the property bubble feeds the hollow illusion of a prosperous future.

The canis — those quintessentially local delinquents astride their souped-up scooters — lay down their solid-gold law on the streets to a breakbeat soundtrack, and tradition crushes anyone who dares challenge the status quo of Holy Week processions, Rocío drums and flamenco handclaps. Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the city — in disused factories, crumbling railway stations and decrepit farmhouses abandoned by señoritos with an allergy to work — the seeds of an electronic revolution are waiting to germinate.

This is a novel about what survives beneath the surface. A story about what the long shadow of the Giralda conceals. Welcome to the hidden Seville. Welcome to the ANDERGRAUN.

Machine translation, pending review.

Álvaro Díaz del Real

Sevilla · 1983

Sevilla, 1983. Lyricist and vocalist for rock bands including Campito Fresa and Bisonte Blanco, he writes from the gut with the same urgency with which he sings—no safe distance, no safety net. He made his debut with Instrucciones para ver un fantasma (2020). Andergraun (Durii, 2024) is the chronicle of a generation that took over abandoned farmhouses to spread rave subculture across Andalusia, and in doing so picked a fight with tradition.
