Paul Bernard, creator and founder of Este Mundo, graduated from the Royal College of Music in London, England.  His classical recordings include Paul Bernard: Spanish Guitar, Majorca (CBC Radio), The Paganinis at Home (ESS.A.Y New York) and numerous recordings for the American Public Broadcasting System as well as CBC Radio and Television. 

On the concert stage, he has performed extensively in North America and England in the Baroque, Renaissance and Spanish styles.  His playing has been described as mesmerizing, demonstrating both technical acuity and soulful musicality.  As a composer with Este Mundo, he has rendered touching and invigorating portraits of the earth and sea, love and spirit.  Drawing from his expertise in the Spanish and Flamenco tradition and his teaching experience, he has shaped Este Mundo.
 

Christopher Smith contributes the greatly energetic and dedicated rhythm that is so essential to this style.  A former student of Paul Bernard, he graduated with a Bachelor of Music in guitar performance from the University of Prince Edward Island in 2000.  Since then, Chris has been running his own successful teaching studio.  In addition to his appearances with Este Mundo, he has performed with small orchestras, in a Renaissance duo with Claire Caseley Smith, and with numerous theatre companies in both PEI and NS.
 

Trevor Campbell, acoustic bass guitarist, provides the solid foundation upon which these evocative melodies take flight.  He has a Bachelor of Music from the University of Prince Edward Island and has been playing guitar professionally for the last 10 years.  Trevor has performed in a variety of different ensembles, from folk to funk, and recorded a CD of his own compositions in 1999.  He is a successful producer and sound engineer, who has produced and performed on an album that garnered an East Coast Music Award Nomination.
