Alessandro D’Orazi contributes “Profumo di Caffè” to Putumayo’s compilation, Putumayo World Café. He expresses his love for coffee and its ability to stir up vivid memories of the past, singing of a former lover: “I pass the window of that bar / The same where I expected you / I can’t help but think of you / It’s been a while since I’ve heard from you / I read the messages on the phone / I still have all yours / Your most sincere words / They talked about love / They talked about us.”
