Carlos Beltrán Martínez de Castro (born 1957) is a multi-keyboard player from Mexico.

Martínez de Castro undertook classical training since his childhood days, and his formative years would influence his later composing outcome. In the early 1970s, he was attracted to the sound of progressive rock of bands like Renaissance and Focus, and also to the so-called soft rock produced by performers like America and James Taylor. In 1987 Carlos released his only album to date, "Jericho",[1] where he played all instruments, basically keyboards and percussion, whose sound was reminiscent of Klaus Schulze. The album didn't stir any grounds in his native country, but it was critically acclaimed first in Japan, then in other progressive quarters of Europe. Before he reitred, he distributed a home-made tape simply called "Familia Carbajal".[2] In 1997 "Jericho"[3] appeared in CD format.
