Cardamom Events Entertainment Feature: Urban Soul Orchestra (UK)

Here at Cardamom Events Ibiza, we are big fans of the Urban Soul Orchestra (USO) – a contemporary and versatile string ensemble with a unique twist, incorporating percussion, bass, DJ & vocals. By enriching a classic string set-up with soulful arrangements and funky rhythms, they create a fresh modern sound. USO’s elegant musicians are comprised of celebrated professional musicians, vocalists and DJs of international acclaim.

USO provide various styles of entertainment offering the complete soundtrack to any corporate or private event, from chilled background music during drinks or dinner, to a roof-raising full band to stir up the dance floor. The band can be adapted for all parts of the show in just one booking.

USO has worked for 25 years at the top of the UK music industry, collaborating with an impressive range of artists including Groove Armada, Mick Jagger, Annie Lennox, Take That, Keane, The Script, Grace Jones, Octave One, Ella Erye, and Jess Glynn. Working at this level, USO brings an added height of professionalism, musicianship and style. We recommend USO if you have a desire for something truly unique.

Every summer USO perform a series of Classic Ibiza concerts across the UK in association with Ministry Of Sound. The orchestra plays a collection of classic Ibiza anthems arranged for a 32 piece Orchestra with live DJ and internationally renowned vocalists at some of the most beautiful stately homes in the UK. Last year USO released their debut Classic Ibiza album. To stream or download the Album click here.

 

USO’s ensembles include the Chill Out Set, DJ Live, DJ Sets, Electric String Quartet, Acoustic Ensemble, Jazz Band, String Quartet, Little Big Band, Little Swing Band, Show Band, Swing Band, Twin Violins.

Cardamom Events Feature – Anna Wild, Hair & Beauty Artist & Jeremy Christopher, Photographer

 

Cardamom Events Feature

Anna Wild, Hair & Beauty Artist & Jeremy Christopher, Photographer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The partnership of Anna Wild and Jeremy Christopher joined together through their mutual love of their creative worlds.

Anna originally hails from England’s north west and Jeremy from the rolling hills of Dorset, and their history with Ibiza spans over two decades.

They fell in love with the island in their teens and have been coming back ever since. They now base their life/work hubs between Ibiza and London’s East end.

Most of the year, the couple live in a gorgeous little finca in one of their favourite spots, in the countryside towards the north of the island and sometimes they live in London. They love to blend the hustle and bustle of the most creative city in the world with the serenity and magic of Ibiza.

When they’re not shooting and beautifying, Anna and Jeremy practise yoga, box and love to hike, exploring secret spots on the island – some of the most beautiful locations where they get a lot of our inspiration for shoots.

It was their love for fashion and beauty that influenced their desire to work with photography, hair and makeup. Many years of experience in those fields means they’re always up to date with current as well as classic trends, which most certainly influence their unique approach in the wedding and events industry, where they love to fuse these worlds together.

With over 10 years experience in their respective industries in London and beyond, the pair have worked with some of the world’s most highly respected brands, such as Qatar Airways, BBC, MAC Cosmetics, London Fashion Week, Sony.

Let us know if you wish to procure their services for your special event.

Cardamom Events Ibiza -Mercedes Benz Corporate Affair!

 

Cardamom Events Ibiza -Mercedes Benz Corporate Affair!

 

 

Automotive brand Mercedes-Benz brilliantly chose Ibiza as the venue for an international meeting which started in February this year and attracted more than 13,000 people to the island, including sales and post-sales personnel.

Cardamom Events Ibiza were asked to organise an intimate reception dinner for 75 of the Dutch and Belgian delegates at the glorious La Escollera Restaurant on Es Cavallet beach.

Guests were treated to canapés of shrimp tempura, crispy Californian sushi, tuna and salmon tartar spoons, Gazpacho shots and goats cheese mousse cones.

Sharing platters of Iberico ham, pimientos padron and tuna carpaccio were served as starters to everyone’s  delight!

The main attraction was the hake ‘a la espalda’ with garlic and mild chilli with a chocolate marquise as the main attraction…

After enjoying their delightful meal, the delegates then danced the night away to their own playlist of country music! The restaurant even surprised one of the delegates with a birthday cake for his special day!

The evening was yet another success to add to Cardamom’s impressive corporate event portfolio!

Mimi’s 3rd Birthday Party by Cardamom Events

 

Mimi’s 3rd Birthday Party by Cardamom Events

 

Mimi’s 3rd birthday has become quite the way to begin the year for the Cardamom Events family. This year was no different with the design brief being that it should be non-stressful for adults and maximum fun for kids! Believe it or not, kids’ parties in Ibiza can be quite challenging as they are usually big family affairs…

The event took place at Can Xarc, a Spanish family restaurant on the beach. The menu was vegetarian, fun and healthy.

The highlights for the kids were the bouncy castle, a game of pass the parcel, some eco-friendly party bags and, of course, the cutting of the Frozen cake!

The parents were able to relax too with tapas and wine, knowing that the children were in a safe and comfortable place.

 

All in all a successful afternoon!

Friends of Cardamom Feature – INMEDIA Design

 

Friends of Cardamom Feature – INMEDIA Design

Here at Cardamom Events Ibiza, we are lucky enough to work with the cream of the island’s professionals. Having spent much time with Alex and Dino from INMEDIA Design over the years, their support of our business and the service they provide to our clients in terms of design and print definitely warrants a blog piece! We had a little chat with Alex, CEO and Production Director of the company.

Cardamom – What brought you to Ibiza?

Alex – Of course the love of the island and the beautiful weather! We didn’t want to work inside the tie-suit advertising business anymore. It was a typical emigration dream for the better life in Spain!

In 2006 we came to Ibiza. After a few years freelancing we realised that the professional and creative service we were offering justified setting up our own company. So, in 2009 INMEDIA design was born and has enjoyed more and more success each year since. We’ve hired professionals for each sector of the business. From coding experts to copy writer, social media and marketing specialists. Our main aim is to solve all problems in-house.

C – What is your relationship with Cardamom?

A – We are friends. We’ve supported each other wherever possible and we still do. As we have the same immigrant background, just from different countries, we share a lot of problems and dreams. We are 2 families with different histories but we would give them housing whenever needed, and I’m sure they would do too! We both started from a little business and grew it up with a hell of a lot of work, lots of sweat and hard times!

C – What do you love most about Ibiza?

A – The weather and the multi-cultural feeling. I love to hear many languages when you are in a restaurant, and the different cultures and influences from all over the world.

C – Any advice for anyone wanting to start a business here?

A – Don’t think that the island was waiting for you and your business. Better set up a business with the entire world as target-marked instead of this tiny little island.

You can contact INMEDIA for all your design needs right here [email protected]

There, in a challenging but safe environment, ROCKID urge each of you to ‘face your fears’, as they offer the increasingly popular activity in Ibiza, cliff jumping. You will enjoy the fun and exhilaration of jumping into the water from the rocks, with experienced instructors to ensure your safety.

Los Fermentistas – committed to making live cultured fermented food and drinks!

Los Fermentistas – committed to making live cultured fermented food and drinks!

Los Fermentistas are Cardamom’s new neighbours! Recently homed in our office’s kitchens, Los Fermentistas are a husband and wife partnership who were looking to regain control of their health and happiness.

Jakob and Rebeca Hronek began their fermentation journey in 2012 after noticing their physical reaction to ‘live’ sauerkraut. They have since been committed to the revival of this old technique, how it can be utilised in the modern world, ways to make it more accessible, if not trendy in an age where there has been a huge reliance on antibiotics, and where bacteria are demonised rather than understood and honored for their roles.

Bex – The first time I tried a live fermented product was Sauerkraut, on a camping trip with friends in Germany, I felt an instant bodily reaction, like this was something my body had been waiting for, it was amazing!

Curiosity piqued, I dove in and got my first ever scoby for Kombucha and began to make a very basic version of Kimchi.

I hadn’t realised just how much impact ferments would have on my health, my digestive system began to function properly and the acne I had become accustomed to cleared up.

Jakob being an avid chef and a scientist by nature took things to the next level and the experiments diversified, we began to make more varieties of kimchi, and sauerkraut and Jun were added to the repertoire.

Through much trial and error, orange walls and purple splashed ceilings we began to perfect our recipes. Jars of pickles filled the shelves, pots of Sauerkraut and Kimchi bubbled, and bottles of Kombucha and Jun fizzed.

What is it we do exactly?

We are micro microbe farmers and avid fermentation revivalists.

We make a range of products, in the Cardamom kitchens, which we sell every Saturday at Ibiza’s only local farmers markets, offering free degustations and information about the benefits of fermented products, the chance to try before you buy!

On our standard menu you’ll find:

– Classic Sauerkraut, our very own Superkraut ( made with Hijiki and Wakame seaweed, turmeric and kale, pretty super huh?!)

– A range of Kimchi’s; Classic, Butternut squash, daikon and vegan.

– Our drinks are Kombucha (black tea with rose) and Jun (gunpowder jasmine green tea fermented with honey).

The foods are probiotic and the drinks prebiotic, all teeming with beneficial bacterias to help balance your gut. This is our standard, but we often have visiting jars from our experimental kitchen.

We love doing pop up dinners ‘Love Your Guts’ often in collaboration with chefs whose food we love, where ferments and their culinary uses are shown in all their glory,

We offer a ’Fermentale’ bar, where ferments and live vinegar shrubs are combined to make delicious virgin and non-virgin cocktails.

Where can you find us?

Our products can currently be found in Savia in Ibiza Town and Polen in Santa Eularia, and other shops throughout the island.

Every Saturday with good weather you’ll find us just opposite Can Tixedo Art cafe at the Mercat de Forada, it’s the best place to get your seasonal, affordable organic veggies!

We work frequently in collaboration with other chefs like James Canvin Knight (gastro pub chef) and Boris Buono, and are happy to receive frequent invites to educate about fermentation and present our products.

We have a few other interesting projects and events in the pipeline, for those you’ll need to tune into our Facebook page for updates.
