Café del Mundo: GuitaRevolution - Symphonic feat. New Philharmonic Orchestra Frankfurt
Café del Mundo plays a unique sound. From the very first note, their finely tuned guitars radiate that southern joie de vivre that celebrates life and is deeply moving at the same time - that's what guitar sounds like today!
As artistic personalities, the two are opposites: Alexander Kilian is regarded as a guitar prodigy, highly virtuosic, extroverted and award-winning, sometimes dancing across the rows of chairs. Jan Pascal is the poet with depth, meaning and a feel for the melodies of life. A concert by Café del Mundo is an experience, an encounter, a tribute to the great love of life, to the connectedness of everything and everyone and to the pure joy of the moment - "guitartainment" - that's how we love it.
Two musicians, for whom there seems to be no place in the conventional system, meet by chance at a workshop given by the one who is twelve years older. They are very different, but immediately find each other and live their shared dream: to open up their instrument, the Andalusian flamenco guitar, to audiences worldwide. A decade of hard work followed, crossing the desert to find a niche. The breakthrough came during the pandemic with their very own, sensitive yet energetic arrangements of classics from pop and film music. "Viva la Vida" receives 1.5 million views at first, "Una Mattina" has over 120 million streams on Instagram. Worldwide concert invitations follow.
The new GuitaRevolution Symphonic tour will not only be dedicated to their album Symphonic. Together with the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt - which has already worked with musicians such as Deep Purple, Peter Gabriel, David Garrett and Robbie Williams - the duo will present their very own mix of great rock and pop hits, traditional works and original compositions.
