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][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.
