I love eclectic music. One that makes you want to dance. Such is the music of Jesús del Castillo. He is most prominently referred to as a Spanish folk-electronic musician and bagpiper. He started learning Galician bagpipes at a young age, while also learning other instruments.
Jesús del Castillo
Celtic Pitch is his new album that dropped on March this year. He released his debut album in 2022 and various singles/EPs. With Celtic Pitch he widens his musical scope, exploring territories and textures. For Martyn Bennett is his spirited tribute to the late artist who blazed the scene with his mysterious and vigorous sounds. I think Castillo earned excellent points on this track as it encapsulates what Bennett was known for – rhythm, energy and hypnotic sounds.
Other tracks possess the striking beauty of their own like for example in the case of Highlands Pitch. I think Celtic Pitch is something both traditional and mainstream listeners will enjoy. It rides two worlds but still retaining its identity.
If you love electronic music, or pop-sounding albums then you will enjoy this one. If you love pipe music, then Celtic Pitch is something you can bring with you on your next outdoor adventure. Enjoy life, nature and rhythm with Jesús del Castillo!
