This marks the third album of her career, and perhaps her most personal work to date. It’s an exploration of the beauty found in everyday life, as Rita, both composer and trombonist, reflects on the roots that bind us to our origins and drive us forward in life. A rich blend of styles and influences is woven into this album, unified by the theme of life’s metaphorical journey that inspires its title, De Camino al Camino.
With the singles El cervatillo and Si entras tú, Rita continues to showcase her versatility, fusing jazz, bossa nova, and even Afro-inspired rhythms. Her style, described as “canzone antica” by C. Tangana—whom she performed with at the 2022 Goya Awards—has left audiences in awe.
Not only has El Madrileño praised her talent, but a host of celebrated artists such as Silvana Estrada, Salvador Sobral, Jon Batiste, Kiko Veneno, Silvia Pérez Cruz, and MARO have collaborated with Rita, contributing to her artistic growth. El cervatillo, her first album consisting entirely of her own compositions, solidifies her as an artist of depth and innovation.
Rita’s achievements this year have been extraordinary, with standout performances at the Teatro Metropolitan in Mexico City and a captivating session on Tiny Desk. This month, she will have the honor of performing at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao before continuing her tour in Europe. Her recent tour through Mexico and Colombia has confirmed her growing international popularity, with sold-out shows at the Teatro El Cantoral in Mexico City and headlining at Jazz al Parque in Bogotá.
In 2025, Rita Payés will bring her eclectic, emotionally resonant music to stages across Europe. Her unique combination of raw emotion, technical mastery, and connection to her musical roots makes her a one-of-a-kind artist, capturing the hearts of audiences worldwide.
