The musicians

Jan Pascal, born in 1975, comes from a family of musicians. He received his first guitar from his grandfather in Spain and his first lessons from an uncle.

He grew up with his Silesian grandmother Edeltraud Bonk (soprano and church musician). He later attended the Münsterschwarzach music boarding school, where he took piano lessons from Father Domenikus Trautner. After studying singing with John Porter and classical guitar with Bernhard Weber in Heidelberg, he founded his own recording studio in 1996. His flamenco guitar knowledge stems from Rafael Cortes and Mariano Martín.

Alexander Kilian, born in 1987, is considered a guitarist prodigy. He received his multicultural musical education from Zaza Miminoshvili. At the age of 15 he won his first international competition for the play “Guajiras de Lucia” by Paco de Lucia.

This successful story is followed by numerous master classes and concert invitations to Israel, Russia, Georgia, Spain and Italy. In 2011 he received an artistic diploma in jazz guitar, in 2007 he met Jan Pascal at a flamenco guitar workshop. This encounter sparked  ideas for a collaboration immediately. Since then they have composed numerous joint albums: “Nuevo Cuarteto” (2008), “Café del Mundo” (2012), “La Perla” (2014), and a live recording “In Passion” (2015). 2015 also brought “Dance of Joy “, a remake of the artists’ first joint compositions. Then in 2018 “Beloved Europa” was released, an album that moves and takes a stand. The band name is derived from a concert review in which a critic writes that he feels that he is transferred to the legendary “Café Cantante”, which turns the band name “Café del Mundo”.
