Bodega Bohemia is the fourth studio album by German synthpop band Camouflage, released on April 26, 1993 by Metronome Musik. The band moved to Hamburg and began working on the album in mid-1992 following the release of the side-project EP Areu Areu . The aim of the album was to return to an electronic presentation with as much influence from electronics as possible.
