Caffè de la Paix is the seventeenth studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Franco Battiato, released in 1993.
Following the two operas Genesi and Gilgamesh and the classical music-influenced Come un cammello in una grondaia, Caffè de la Paix rapresents a partial return of Battiato to a more modern song form, mostly because of its use of electric guitars and the return of a rhythm section. [1] The album's arrangements ends to combine classical orchestral sounds, modern sounds and traditional oriental sounds, [2] mostly thanks to the use of traditional instruments such as oud, qanun, sarod, tabla and tambouras. [1]
The album was recorded between Real World Studios in London and Morning Studio in Milan. [1] [3] Among the musicians who collaborated to the album, were Gavin Harrison, John Giblin, Jakko Jakszyk and Hossam Ramzy. [1] It is the first Battiato album from 1979 L'era del cinghiale bianco on which Giusto Pio does not collaborate. [1] The album and the lead single are titled after the Café de la Paix in Paris. [1] [2] [3]
The album was released on 7 October 1993. [3]
