Cerys Hafana
Cerys Hafana is a Welsh composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist who mangles, mutates, and transforms traditional music. Cerys comes from Machynlleth, Wales, where rivers and roads meet on the way to the sea.
Hafana’s primary instrument is the Welsh triple harp with which they explore all its creative possibilities and unique qualities, playing with found sounds, archival materials and electronic processing. Their spellbinding music is rich with atmosphere and heart and stubbornly resistant to genre boxes and easy classification.
Angel, their latest album on tak:til/ Glitterbeat, released in Sept 2025, is a deep exploration of minimalism, traditional and avant-folk music, alternating between songs (all in Cymraeg) and instrumentals, often buoyed by a deft trio of sympathetic and exploratory musicians (drums, double bass, alto sax). In 2026, live shows will feature this dynamic new trio sound. The uncommon breadth and innovation of Angel soundly confirms Hafana as one of the UK’s most exciting young contemporary folk artists, with The Guardian featuring it as Folk Album Of The Month.
