The Balearic Islands have become a center for musical innovation in the 20th century. Majorca has produced popular singer-songwriters like Maria del Mar Bonet, while British DJs like Paul Oakenfold made the vacationing island of Ibiza a capital of house music, leading to the creation of Balearic Beat.
