Café del Mar Aria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Café del Mar Aria is a Chill-Out compilation series that combines the emotive powers of opera with atmospheric and structured melodies. It was created to open the familiar Café del Mar concept to new horizons, as it already happened with Café del Mar Dreams, Café del Mar Chill House, and Café del Mar Classic. The arias have been re-recorded for this compilation and blend beautifully with lush orchestrations, light percussions and ambient sounds, and therefore appeal to audiences usually not committed to opera music. The Café del Mar concept originated from the sunset bar with the same name on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza. The Café del Mar Aria series is produced by Paul Schwartz.
