CAFÉ DEL MUNDO & ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA

A symphony orchestra is the most multifaceted experience of human emotion in music. In the European tradition, this body of sound represents a high development.

Every music reflects its time. It dances on the tightrope between a sense of identity and a sense of globalization. It balances sensitively, finely nuanced. Music is able to create peaceful community wordlessly like no other medium.

All you need is LOVE! Café del Mundo's love for the symphonic sound cosmos meets an unmistakable inner call to bring new music into the world. A concerto for two flamenco guitars and symphonic orchestra is the audible manifestation of a deeply inspiring encounter away from the ordinary, a meeting of two extraordinary instrumentalists in dialogue with the orchestra.
In this music album, masterfully scored by Christian David Rheber, Orient and Occident, young and old, Europe and Africa, folklore and classical music meet. The result is a joyful, dancing rhythmic flow that takes the listener on a great journey, one that is completely expansive and yet leads him precisely to himself. And exactly therein lies the mysterious, invisible power of music: it opens us, makes us permeable for the great far beyond our imagination.

Winterhauch - a musical winter journey to the Odenwald with music, legends and stories from the cultural region in the border triangle of Hesse, Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg. The two guitarists Jan Pascal and Alexander Kilian, known under their band name Café del Mundo live here. They share their enthusiasm for the music and the stories behind it in sounds, stories and pictures from their native Odenwald.

+ Bonus track:
Concert recording @ Centro Cultural, Villa de Nerja, 27th May 2022

There is music that touches us velvety like golden velour. It creates a space against inhospitality, it wraps us in security. Jan Pascal and Alexander Kilian have arranged twelve personal sofa favorites together for the couch. The contrasts could hardly be greater: There are the impressionistically dappled sounds of Claude Debussy next to Lindsey Sterling's dubstep, the jazz chords of a Bill Evans next to the immortal Bach cantata "may sheep graze safely." They all unite playfully in the sound garb of flamenco guitars, appearing new, radiantly bright.

Music that sometimes with gentle poetry, sometimes stimulating like a good cup of tea, puts our senses in grace and above all exudes constant coziness. These are Café del Mundo's SOFA SONGS.

It's Friday, March 13, 2020, and the world is holding its breath. Two guitarists, just on their way from Asia to Andalusia, are suddenly stuck at home. There is a worldwide ban on performing. From one moment to the next, the last bastion of income for musicians, the concert ticket, falls. Is it possible to understand such an abstract event? Artistically, say the two professional optimists, and the next day they go into the recording studio. There, over the next three months, they create twelve one-hour sound documents. "Talking guitars. Two microphones, two record collections and a bottle of good scotch form the ingredients for an illustrious mix of men's conversations, flamenco shop talk and, again and again, music. Laced with anecdotes from the musician's life, background knowledge, relevant and entertaining things are revealed; in between, again and again, fragments from the sound workshop of Café del Mundo. Over all hovers the question, does this also carry economically? The appeal of the musicians is followed by the full force of the fans: they buy all episodes, not on the free platforms, but directly from the band, which thus saves its music over the stage closure.

GUITAR SUPER NOVA has emerged out of somewhere. It radiates light and love. Deserts become fields of flowers. Alien beings recognize commonalities in fellow creatures and start living tolerance. Everything around breathes all-embracing LOVE and so a NEW WORLD is creating itself from the SOUND of your IMAGINATION.

On the eighth Café del Mundo-album, Alex and Jan imagine themselves in the future. What will our world sound like tomorrow? Aware instrumental music has the power to connect peoples heart from all over the world. come in feel in and share love.

Christmas, this special time of the year has a new soundtrack: "Merry Guitar Christmas".
Für alle, die nach Inspiration suchen in der alljährlichen Standard-Beschallung beyond lautlos fallender Niederschläge in kristalliner Form haben Jan Pascal und Alexander Kilian auf diesem Album einen their own Christmas cycle on this album.
Elf brandneue Café del Mundo-Kompositionen und eine Bearbeitung des Klassikers „carol of the bells“, im Original ein ukrainisches Volkslied, haben die beiden Saitenkünstler aus ihrer reichlich fruchtbaren Creationship gewonnen. Musik, die mal Hit-verdächtig, mal wunderbar anrührend die Sinne erweckt, einstimmt auf die Jahreszeit und stets den wohlig warmen Charme von Gemütlichkeit versprüht. We wish you a Merry Guitar Christmas!
