"Buddha-Bar, the Lounge & Chill-Out Music Founder” Deeply rooted in our DNA, music has always played a key role in the Buddha-Bar universe. In perfect harmony with the restaurant atmosphere, our musical style was created in Paris (France) in 1996 by Claude Challe et Ravin. Back then, music was created live: Claude and Ravin mixed electronic sounds with World music tracks – CD, audio tapes, lives, everything was good to create an exotic musical journey. Sublte and mesmerizing mixes, perfect blend of House & Electronic with tribal, African, Asian, Latino and Oriental notes... Buddha-Bar Music® was born. And that was only the beginning. The French and international clients were immediately captivated with these new sounds. The following year, George V Records was created and released its first music compilations. It is an immediate success worldwide. Mixing electro beats with sounds from distant lands, our worlwide renowed Organic-house seduces a chic and trendy clientele, from the beaches of Tulum to Burning Man, and Ibiza… Nowadays, Buddha-Bar features millions of sold music albums, thousands of playlists on Spotify, brand partnerships (Cartier, Audi, …) but also featured artists (Armen Miran, Stéphane Pompougnac, Ali Kuru, Mr. ID, Bliss, Christos Fourkis, Sahalé, Sébastien Léger, Bedouin, Birds of Mind, BLOND:ISH) and more than 2 millions of monthly listeners worldwide. Buddha-Bar creator of emotions since 1996. Same vibes: Hôtel Costes, Café del Mar
