Café del Mar (Catalan: [kəˈfe ðəɫ ˈma], Spanish: [kaˈfe ðel mar]; "Sea Café") is a bar located in Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza. It is known for its sunsets and chill-out music.
The Café del Mar was founded on 20 June 1980.
The look of the Café del Mar was designed by a Catalan architect, Lluis Güell. He was in charge of the design, decoration and architecture.
The Café del Mar is perhaps most known around the world for its chill-out music compilations. The songs are described as balearic ambient, easy listening music. The collections of the music played at the café were first sold on cassette at the end of the 1980s. In 1994, the first official “Café del Mar” CD was released, which included works by world-renowned artists. Following the great success of the first release, a total of 17 volumes of the main compilation series have been published.
Café del Mar compilations contain music by artists all over the world, more famous ones including A.R. Rahman, Moby, Jean-Michel Jarre, Chicane, Underworld, and Thomas Newman.
Del Mar is Spanish for "of the ocean" or "on the ocean". It may refer to:
You in the dark
You in the pain
You on the run
Living a hell
Living your ghost
Living your end
Never seem to get in the place that I belong
Don't wanna lose the time
Lose the time to come
Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
You in the sea
On a decline
Breaking the waves
Watching the lights go down
Letting the cables sleep
Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
We'll wrap the world around it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I'm a stranger in this town
