Bio
They have performed at Electric Picnic, All Over Kerry and are now taking over Ireland. With the help of choreographer & dancer Catherine Young!
Crack-en ! Means Skin in Irish !! They use authentic West African & Brazilian drums. The West African drums are mainly wooden and have natural hide heads. This gives them a pleasant earthy sound. Our Brazilian drums are a mix of wood and metal and they ring like the bells of the favelas !! Craiceann incorporates Balafon, Flute & Didgeridoo into our songs along with a multitude of traditional bells and Shekere. Their West African songs & rhythms come from Guinea & Senegal and are traditional dances. Their Brazilian songs and rhythms come the the very north of Brazil with Bumba meu Boi & Maracatu. These are traditional festival & parade dances from these regions. Of course they throw in a flavour of Rio with Samba. Add to all that a touch of Cuban and you have a mix of the best Carnival & dance beats to keep you moving.
Craiceann can also run drumming and dance workshops too!!
