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.

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…
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
So Bardentreffen in Nürnberg vorbei, und ich muss sagen bin zwar bissl Geld los geworden aber eure CD´s haben sich gelohnt….. Hätt gleich noch mehr mitnehmen sollen, denn auch Freunde und Bekannte sind echt begeistert….. Danke für eure tolle Vorstellung, freu mich schon auf die nächste.. viel Glück weiterhin
This was the most haunting and emotion capturing music I have come across in awhile. I can”t stop playing it and telling everyone.
Thank you so much for coming to Kingston. You all played so wonderful! I will never ever forget it, thank you soo sooo soo much. I hope you had a great time here in Canada :) Hope you can come back some time as well.
