Baba Yaga's Hut Presents:
Emmanuelle Parrenin + Sharron Kraus
£22 (inc. fees) - Cafe Oto - 2nd November 2025
76 year old legend of experimental French folk, her enigmatic and beautiful album Maison Rose from 1977 is a masterpiece (thankfully reissued on Souffle Continu) and her more recent albums are just as ethereal and psychedelic.
Ultimate post-folk meets trad and experimental electro-acoustic.

Emmanuelle Parrenin has always been a collector of sounds: she learns music in a clandestine and instinctive way by reproducing on a piano the melodies she hears emanating from the family home, where music resounds everywhere: her father directs the Quatuor Parrenin, and her mother is a harp teacher.
In 1977, she released Maison Rose, a synthesis of ten years of folk career and exploration of traditional sounds. In 1990, following a serious accident, she became deaf. She heals by re-educating her ears through the sounds of her voice and the resonance of her instruments. Throughout her travels, she collects all kinds of healing instruments and is interested in music as medicine and all the traditional techniques that exploit the therapeutic dimension of sound.
In 2011, thirty years after Maison Rose, she recorded Maison Cube which continues the folk adventure as she always conceived it: mixed with psychedelia, jazz and shamanism. The years 2011-2012 marked her encounter with electronic music: Emmanuelle then multiplied the collaborations with artists like Etienne Jaumet, Eat Gas, Vincent Segal, Pierre Bastien, Colin Johnco and Tolouse Low Trax.
Emmanuelle Parrenin sings in French and plays the hurdy-gurdy, various harps, the thumb piano, the spinet des Vosges, the dulcimer and singing bowls.
-----
Over the years Sharron Kraus’ musical career has pulled her in many directions and seen her collaborate with artists, poets, writers and researchers, creating soundtracks, podcasts, musical accompaniments and responses. She is an intuitive improviser, a compelling performer and a weaver of musical spells.
KIN (Feeding Tube Records/Cardinal Fuzz) her newest album is on a continuum with her previous solo album, Joy’s Reflection is Sorrow, with its layered synths and recorders, and sits somewhere in the space between Jane Weaver’s electronica and the psych/folk of bands like The Left Outsides and Modern Studies. This is her first show in London in over 3 years
