Cerys is an incredibly talented triple harpist / multi-instrumentalist and composer from Machynlleth, Wales, where rivers and roads meet on the way to the sea.
Cerys has won over audiences from Green Man to the Eisteddfod and from BBC 6 Music Festival to Celtic Connections with her magical, progressive sound.
Cerys's second album Edyf was selected as one of The Guardian’s Top Ten Folk Albums of 2022 and was shortlisted for the 2023 Welsh Music Prize as well as receiving wide-spread media attention and critical acclaim
Cerys mangles, mutates, and transforms traditional music; exploring the creative possibilities and unique qualities of the triple harp, whilst delving into found sounds, archive materials and electronic processing.
'The highlight of the festival is undoubtedly Cerys Hafana...The triple harpist transported us to a realm of sheerbliss, with her nimble fingers dancing across the strings in a state of soulful expression'. Line Of Best Fit review of FOCUS Wales 2023.
‘…an adept shapeshifter, entwining tradition with direct and personal interpretations to create music that’s both progressive, profound and inspiring.’Alex Gallagher, Folk Radio UK
‘Hafana explores resonances from the past that connect with the modern day in a contemporary, creative way… she uses her harp as a percussive, jagged-toothed tool… sings movingly, her high voice like an indie-pop soprano shorn of its sweetness.’ Jude Rogers, The Guardian.
'Cerys Hafana’s love for the triple harp is infectious… She easily won hearts and minds with her interpretations of traditional folk songs, and her own work. Cerys charmed us with her stories. Magical.' FOCUS Wales Highlights 2022, God is in the TV
