Música Urbana

Música Urbana was a short-lived Spanish jazz‑rock band formed in Barcelona in the mid-70s by composer and multi-instrumentalist Joan Albert Amargós. Their aim was to forge a distinctly Catalan progressive-rock identity—rooted in Mediterranean and Andalusian traditions rather than Anglophone influences. The band assembled top-tier musicians (Lucky Guri, Carles Benavent, Salvador Font, Luigi Cabanach…) piece by piece, ultimately becoming a sort of local supergroup. Their sound blended jazz‑rock, traditional Spanish and classical music, and even cinematic scores, forming a unique, sophisticated fusion style. The original album cover referenced Spanish classical composers —signaling the band's deep embrace of Iberian musical heritage in a prog-fusion framework.
