Event information

Event starts at 8pm.

Café del Mundo are Germany’s leading jazz & world music guitarists performing on flamenco guitars, the so-called “wild sister” of the classic guitar. This is highly unusual and very unique!

Opposites attract and creative tension sparks between plus and minus: The two exceptional artists Jan Pascal and Alexander Kilian are like fire and ice – and this is precisely why they complement each other so well, forming a musical symbiosis of world-class excellence. As a duo, they themselves embody the essence of a musical genre which combines opposites like no other does: authentic and timeless, dreamy and unrestrained, down-to-earth and mystic. Two gifted instrumental artists declare their love for pure and genuine music. In a dialogue where virtuoso fragility and archaic vigour caress each other, they revel in pictures and tones, challenging each other, always spurred on to musically outdo each other – and the same as between plus and minus, a magical aura develops which nobody can escape.

Be surprised at the variety of music one can create on a flamenco guitar, a repertoire that spins an invisible thread between flamenco and pop, classic and jazz, techno and tango.

Their new album “Beloved Europa” was in Amazon’s Top 100 Jazz albums within the first month of being released, and out of this, “Spread Your Wings” immediately made it into Apple Music’s Jazz Playlist:
