About The Band

 

Beginning as street musicians in Barcelona, Rio Che and El Coba formed the solely instrumental acoustic project "Cobario".

The exceptional violinist Herwigos joined the guitarists in 2007, creating an out of the ordinary trio that has fascinated increasing amounts of listeners ever since.

Street-Shows

 

Since their beginning in Spain, Cobario is seen every year on the streets of the biggest and most beautiful cities as well as international street-art-festivals.

Their animating show is a specific type of street art. By sympathizing, laughing, astonishing and enjoying, it turns daily life into a special happening.

Therefore, beside concerts and performances of every kind, Cobario is playing mostly in summertime on the most prodigious and varied stage of the world: the street.

Final days of recording

13. Apr.

The next 4 days we will be once again in the studio. The final compositions for the 3. Album will be recorded. Facing the last steps on the long way to our 3. Album, we want to take the chance and say a big thank you to Christian Weigl!
For the last months he was (and still is) resposible for the whole recording, mixing and producing of our 3. Album! He is doing a fantastic job, working with him together makes the process feel easy - and makes us feel comfortable in this very important project.
Best regards,
Cobario

    muchas gracias für die feine performance am pflasterspektakel, war echt ein wunderschönes gänsehaut-erlebnis! die cds laufen seither fast andauernd, echt eingängige, super sphärische musik – besonders als ihr uns in die wüste geschickt habt oder uns mit wake up eigentlich eher wegkippen ließt. DANKE nochmal, hoffe auch ihr hattet eine gute zeit bei eurer linz-premiere.. alles gute weiterhin, bleibt euch treu, das klingt super! sabine

    Cobario,
    I very much enjoyed your performance today at the Kingston, Ontario Busker Festival. You are one of my most favourite groups and I was so thrilled to see you live for the first time. You all play beautifully and I hope you will return to Canada for years to come. I can not describe the extraordinary work of art your music truly is. It has inspired me to be a better artist.

    Liebe Jungs,

    Eure Vagabunden-Geschichte höre ich seit meiner Abfahrt aus Rudolstadt sehr oft. So manches Mal habe ich auch mitgespielt (2.Stimme Violine).
    - Ganz viele Dankesgrüße für Eure Musik möchte ich Euch “zuwinken”.
    (Noch im Juli mache ich dann den CD-Tausch auch noch komplett.)

    Viel Freude auf Euren Wegen!

    Solltet Ihr in Thüringen eines Tages eine Bleibe suchen, klopft gern an meine Tür..

    Herzlich.CAT

    Hallo Jungs,
    hab Eure CDs aus Rudolstadt mitgenommen, seit dem laufen sie bei mir. Jeglicher Versuch, dabei nicht die ganze Zeit hinzuhören und inne zu halten ist an der Schönheit Eurer Musik gescheitert. Wünsche Euch von Herzen allen Erfolg der Welt, mehr geht nicht! Danke!

    Also ich bin jedes Jahr auf dem TFF und fühle mich hinterher immer total frischzellengekurt aufgrund der ganzen tollen Eindrücke und der schönen Musik aus aller Welt. Doch dieses Jahr bleibt für mich für immer ganz speziell, denn ich durfte Teil eures extralangen und mitreißenden “Gesamtkunstwerks” im Handwerkerhof sein. Weiß gar nicht, wie ich es beschreiben soll. Diese Musik ist einfach …wunderwunderschön und man kann gar nicht genug davon bekommen. Eure CDs laufen hier ständig rauf und runter. Und ich warte schon gespannt auf euch beim nächsten TFF – dann vielleicht mit CD Nummer 4? :-)

War echt entspannend nach meiner Arbeit euch zu zuhören. Und hinweg zu Träumen. Und ich habe ja schon zu euch gesagt ihr spielt genau die zwei Instrumente wo ich am liebsten höre. Ich finde einfach das ihr total nett seid und hoffe einfach wen ihr wieder nach München kommt das wir uns dan wieder sehen. Wünsch euch noch viel Spass und ich hoffe das ihr es noch weit bringt. Sagt mir doch bitte bescheid wen ihr wieder nach München kommt okey. Also bis dan.

    Eure Musik hat mich in Hildesheim auf eine Wolke befördert… wenn ich Eure Musik höre habe ich das Gefühl zu schweben! Soviel Lebensfreude aber auch Melancholie wird durch Eure Musik übertragen, dass ich sie jederzeit hören möchte. Zum Glück habe ich beide CDs mitgenommen! Ich hoffe ihr kommt bald mal wieder in die Nähe.
    Macht weiter so. DANKE!

    I’ve heard you in Comacchio at Buskers Festival few days ago, with the three of you playing on a boat placed along the canal. What a wonderful show it’s been! Never listened to anything like that before, any attempt at labelling it would reveal itself pretty useless. Hope to see you again in Italy soon

RioChe

Mario Chehade

Guitar

RioChe is a viennese musician who commited himself to the sounds of nylonstrings.

His compositions are mostly of tragical nature and an important ingredient in the bands music.

Herwigos

Herwig Schaffner

Violin

Herwig Schaffner, alias herwigos started to play the violine at an early age. When he was only 15 he got accepted into the Mozartaeum in Salzburg and started to study the violine and the piano at the famous university.

In addition to taking part in several projects concerning chamber music and orchestra, which even involved journeys to China, he also succeeded as a composer.

Thus, his second symphonic creation was premiered in December 2009 in the worldfamous Wiener Musikvereinssaal. Being part of the band Cobario he has now a new musical project which enables him to express his creativity.

ElCoba

Jakob Lackner

Guitar

Before exploring his passion for instrumental music, El Coba was playing for several years in many rock- and coverbands.

„Coba“ means in the language of the Maya “water swayed by the wind”. Energy and motion is also reflected in his live-performances and compositions. Chairs are often fearing for their lifes, if Cobarios “Mr. Rhythm” is expressing his joy of life with his music…
