Intro

Pastora sounds like the intersection of a Mediterranean sunset and a high-end electronic lounge. Their music is defined by the contrast between Dolo Beltrán's intimate, almost whispered vocal delivery and Caïm Riba's meticulous, warm production. It is a sound that feels deeply rooted in the streets of Barcelona, capturing both the vibrant energy of the city and the quiet, reflective moments found in its hidden corners.

What truly sets them apart is their 'audiovisual' DNA. Originally conceived as a project where visuals and music held equal weight, their songs often feel like short films. They blend organic elements like flamenco-inflected guitars and upright bass with glitchy electronic textures and trip-hop rhythms. The lyrics avoid pop clichés, opting instead for surreal observations and narrative snapshots of modern life that feel both personal and universal.

Start with their breakout album, 'La vida moderna', or the polished 'Circuitos de lujo'. These records showcase their ability to craft infectious melodies that don't sacrifice their experimental edge. It is the ideal soundtrack for listeners who want pop music with a brain, a heart, and a slightly mysterious atmosphere.

Pastora were a Spanish/Catalan electronic group from Barcelona, consisting of Dolo Beltrán (vocals), Caïm Riba Pastor (guitar, synthesisers and programming), and Pauet Riba Pastor (programming and visuals.)
