With Carretera mágica, Juan Belda & The Bit Band continue their journey through a musical territory where genres dissolve and direction emerges from collective exploration. Although its language can loosely evoke the broad landscape of jazz rock, the album ultimately resists precise categorization. Instead, it unfolds as an open musical route shaped by interplay, texture and evolving momentum.
The core ensemble once again features Jorge Pardo, Juanjo Ortí and Enrico Barbaro, joined by collaborators who expand the sonic palette of the project. Among them are Samuel Tarraco, Javier Colis, the actor Hans Pisbergen — whose voice appears in two pieces — and the flamenco singer Kiko Cortés, adding a distinctive color to the track “Paquito”.
The album opens and closes with compositions that frame the journey: the collective piece “Carretera mágica”, which sets the tone of the record, and “Ballet #1”, where Belda explores keyboards, bass and marimba in a more solitary and introspective form. The path of this “magical road” may be difficult to define, but its direction is unmistakable: forward.
