Música Urbana

Música Urbana was a Catalan group that emerged in 1976, bringing together musicians from the Barcelona scene to craft a distinctive fusion of jazz, rock, and Mediterranean influences. Led by keyboardist Joan Albert Amargós, the ensemble blended sophisticated harmonic arrangements with rhythmic vitality, creating a sound that bridged European jazz traditions with contemporary rock sensibilities.

Though their active period was brief (1976–1979), Música Urbana contributed to Spain’s experimental music landscape during a formative era, helping establish the country’s jazz-rock identity. Their keyboard-driven approach and genre-blending ethos influenced subsequent generations of Spanish musicians exploring the intersection of traditional and modern sounds.
