Rafael Pacha is a Spanish multi-instrumentalist and the main composer of the Prog/Folk group The Guildmaster. He is also a long time collaborator for Progressive Rock artists and groups such as Last Knight, Samurai of Prog and Inner Prospekt.
Rafael’s album ”A Bunch of Forest Songs” in 2023 combining Progressive Rock with Folk and medieval music was well received. This time we decided to do something a little bit different….
In ”Not Normal After Music” you can surely hear many elements of the ”Bunch”, but also much more… What remains is the comprehensive collection of musical instruments elegantly handled by Rafael. The album combines many styles and sounds and the result can only be described as Rafael’s music.
