Founded in Barcelona, in 2008, La Cafetera Roja is multigenerational, multilinguistic, mixed
and self-taught Band. An European group playin' self-made music that sounds like a mix
between all kinds of genres such as Hip-hop, Pop and Rock.
Aurélia Campione (vocals/guitar), Anton Dirnberger (MC/keyboard), Chloé Legrand
(Guitar/chorus), Fiti Rodriguez (Vocals/ bass guitar/chorus), Jean-Michel Mota, (cello/chorus)
and Pierre Jean Savin (drums/chorus): a prolific combo with already four albums and today,
for the first time, an album made from afar but completed in a studio.
A one-year work, at home, for this fifth record “Mozaik”, due to be released next spring.
La Cafetera Roja, it’s a refusal to be labeled, neither rock, nor trip hop, neither reggae, nor
chanson, neither jazz, nor latin. Their “mixture” was brewed by time, with a kind of “world
sound” as a guest, and inventing their own language. Today, they are as Hip Hop, World as
electro rock. Leaving Barcelona, their Spanish is changing, mixing with French, German and
English, making their own Esperanto. Their sound is exuding the happiness to play together.
Today, La Cafetera Roja is no longer “l’Auberge Espagnole”, it is now “ L'incredibile storia
dell'Isola delle Rose”, a new chapter in the lifestory of the group, 1968 utopia, by Giorgio Rosa.
A 400 m2 platform in the international waters which became an independent state thanks to
the Italian engineer. For this record, their island is virtual, the drums become percussion, then
sequence, then rhythmic again , swing between organic and electronic.
Conductors of these hours of lonely experimentations, Pierre Jean Savin, Anton Dirnberger
and Mathias Chaumet, shadowy wizard at the origin of their label Green Piste, intend to
produce and most of all reproduce the alchemy of the group in a studio.
“Mozaik” is all these bits of sounds, jointed, disjointed, whistled and rejointed.
A humanistic work of uprooted but “Full of hope” citizens of the world, songs full of love and
freedom, solar and sometimes nonchalant. One can guess some Outkast and Dr Dre
influences, a record which opens with a rap in German, “Moonlight”, then reminiscence of the
90s English Trip hop, slowly slipping into electro gimmicks on “One Eighty” to finally deliver a
hopeful message with “C’est l’amour”, in which arpeggio, Spanish serenade and Rap come
together.
A “Mozaik” breath to remember the joys of friendship, a mild breeze dancing on a time-colored
dress / a weather-colored dress.
