COBARIO ON OCTOBER 20 AT SYTHEN CASTLE
COBARIO: VIENNESE WORLD MUSIC TRIO COMES VERY CLOSE WITH "FAR AWAY"

The Viennese world music trio Cobario is musically at home all over the world and is thus constantly inspired anew. At the Münsterland Festival part 11, the Austrians present their sixth studio album "weit weg" - a musical declaration of love to the world and to Vienna.
For their fans, El Coba (Jakob Lackner), Giorgio Rovere (Georg Aichberger) and Herwigos (Herwig Schaffner) have long been cult, their music for the soul that touches and carries you "far away". For most of the year, the three adventurers travel the world with two guitars and a violin. Formerly as street musicians, since 2016 they have been officially commissioned by the Austrian Foreign Ministry to promote understanding through world music. The passion for foreign countries is deep within them and so they carry their musicality, virtuoso playing and Viennese charm into the wide world, while at the same time absorbing music and culture from 29 countries so far. This constantly gives rise to new songs to which they can tell an exciting story on stage.
The audience can expect a cosmopolitan mix of genres and styles that sometimes sounds like a dusty South American desert, sometimes like lively Balkan rhythms, sometimes like the dolce vita of an Italian coastal town. Cobario captivate audiences wherever they perform.
THE VENUE: SYTHEN CASTLE IN HALTERN AM SEE

The history of Sythen moated castle goes back to a Germanic hill fort, which was mentioned in documents as early as 758. Over time, the estate belonged to various noble families who turned it into a spacious castle complex. Since the change of ownership in 1965, the castle has fallen into noticeable disrepair. Today, only the large gatehouse dating from the 16th century and the chapel building from the 14th century remain. These buildings have been extensively restored thanks to considerable voluntary work. This listed building is used for private celebrations, weddings and cultural events.
