"Uses her harp as a percussive, jagged-toothed tool" - The Guardian
Cerys Hafana transforms traditional Welsh music into something boldly contemporary, exploring the creative possibilities of the triple harp through electronic processing and found sounds. From her home in Machynlleth, where rivers meet the sea, she crafts a unique sound that mangles and mutates folk traditions.
Her second album 'Edyf,' named one of The Guardian's Top Ten folk albums of 2022, weaves together archive materials from the Welsh National Library with original compositions. Her latest EP 'The Bitter' (2024) continues this innovative approach, reimagining dark English and Scottish ballads.
Expect an evening where ancient psalms meet electronic experimentation. With her distinctive indie-pop soprano and revolutionary approach to the triple harp, Hafana creates performances that bridge centuries while remaining thoroughly modern.
