Photo Monica Figueras Last May, the Murcian group Arde Bogotá released their new album Cowboys de la A3 . An album that, as in his previous work La Noche , took us on a journey again. This time, on a road trip crossing Spain and heading to the sea, "always to the sea" and, as it could not be otherwise, to his native Cartagena. Dani Sánchez, guitarist of Arde Bogotá, tells us about this new trip and reveals some of the quartet's favorite places. Cowboys de la A3 is your new album and a new journey. Why the A3? Why is it so important to be the title of a song and an album? The A3 is probably the place we have spent the most time in the last two years. It is where all the good and bad things have happened to us that somehow sneak into our lyrics and our imagination when making an album. This album has caught us on our way to or returning from somewhere, and that's a bit how we feel.

Like a kind of cowboys riding that road and those rural landscapes, nomads in a van and at the same time creating an album. On the way back to Cartagena there is a good deal. What stops do you recommend Colombia Mobile Number List we make along the way? We have certain almost obligatory stops to rest halfway, and they are almost always the same. They have become almost sacred places of pilgrimage and some already know us, they have made the bill for us when we arrive. We are talking about the “El Molino” stop near La Gineta, Albacete. What does Arde Bogotá listen to during the journey? Normally the driver chooses the music and it is almost always Arturo our backliner , who plays the most infernal metal you can imagine; or Alberto our road manager , who goes at the other extreme like The National. So we live between stress and calm. Bogotá burns Bogotá burns. Photo Monica Figueras The A3 ends at the sea.



On this trip you have said that “If we could we would always flee to the sea”, on which beaches could we find you? It depends on who you ask. But it is likely that if you go to Cala Cortina, Calblanque or the shores of the Mar Menor, some of us will be meditating or doing calisthenics. All your roads lead to Cartagena. What does Cartagena have that there is not anywhere else in the world that makes it necessary to found it again in its image and likeness on planet  571-/9A ? Well, in addition to being in love with our land, Cartagena is the proper name that we give to the word home. It is inevitable that the place you come from and where you have lived all creeps into what you do, especially when you spend so much time away from it. Each person has his own Cartagena and we assume that each one would found his own city on another planet if he had to leave Earth one day. You have turned one of your songs into an anthem in your land We feel privileged to be experiencing this, and especially with the response of the public in our city.
