CYFER

World Blues from Eastern Europe

"A distinctive guitarist with an absolutely special voice" — Radio Romania

Călin Cyfer with Gibson SG

The Sound of the Carpathian Underground

For over two decades, Călin Cyfer has been channeling the raw spirit of American blues through the soul of Eastern Europe. A self-taught guitarist from Brașov, Romania, he built his sound in smoky Bucharest clubs, on festival stages alongside Grammy winners, and in the solitude of relentless practice.

His music — what he calls World Blues — is a collision of blues rock, funk grooves, alternative music, and exotic textures that refuse to be boxed in.

"Color" — Debut Album

Planet Vibe Records, 2009

"Color speaks best about me, the one I am now. My songs speak about love, about the need for communication, about the atomization of the individual in society, about the need to escape from the everyday, about the return to simplicity."
