JAZZTAGE DRESDEN - Café del Mundo

In the organizer's words:

"HÖRBAR GRENZENLOS" (Oliver Hochkeppel, Süddeutsche Zeitung)

Tens of thousands of concertgoers every year, standing ovations, millions of views on YouTube, a fan cult like that of rock stars - welcome to Café del Mundo, Germany's most successful guitar export.

Yes, you read that right, Germany's hottest flamenco guitarist. This is extraordinary, this is unique, this is the essence of guitar and the consistent expansion of an instrument that we have known from folklore up to now.

The protagonists Jan Pascal and Alexander Kilian are as fundamentally opposed as fire and water - and yet this is precisely why they complement each other to form a world-class music act. Their joint live performance is a rousing dialog between two gifted virtuosos, who sometimes caress, sometimes challenge and elicit their best from each other - intensely and explosively creating a magical aura that no one can escape. But the two instrumental artists are far more than mere entertainers: in their art, they take a stand, commit themselves to pure, original music and make a statement in a fluid, fluctuating world. Let yourself be surprised by the incredible musical diversity of two flamenco guitars with a repertoire that ties a fine ribbon between classical and jazz, techno and world music.
