The name of the project is borrowed from the supercontinent, which will possibly emerge in 250 million years: In this all current continents will merge into one unit and all territorial borders will be overcome. The band's sound anticipates this distant future and combines musical influences from all over the world - collected during my extensive musical research trips. The debut album "Espacios Abiertos" was praised as a "delightful redefinition of cross-cultural music" (Jazzthing). The recently released second album "Camino a Mictlán" is dedicated to the Mexican "Día de Los Muertos", a homage to life.

"Pangea Ultima means the encounter with the known in order to become even more familiar with it. Encounters at the crossroads of times and cultures, from European jazz to the happy result of trips through the countries in which the sun shines, that warm sun that the Coasts of Africa and the Cuban Yambú warms. "

"Camino a Mictlán, a musical exploration of Mexican tradition in the face of death and the celebration of life ... Pangea Ultima is a band with influences of jazz, blues, African songs and European harmonies, uniting cultures through a universal musical journey, an attribute that gives meaning to the name of the group defined as an intercultural bet ".

"Chema put together a kind of gathering of the United Nations of Music. The multicultural integration that had taken shape three years earlier burst with force in the album Camino a Mictlán".
El Financiero

"The cultural diversity and thus the linguistic diversity of the material generates very different sonic and sensory experiences for the listener. As in any suite, each theme is a complete individual story and the whole is a great narrative, which in the case of Camino a Mictlán is an epic. "
