Cradle Duende, & Safiya

Safiya is a world music band heavily influenced by Mediterranean, Balkan, Middle Eastern, Central Asian, Rom, Japanese, Latin American, Funk and Surf music. The band experiments blending these different styles, in a way that captures a brand new sound while keeping the essence of each culture. The music is energetic and danceable and at the same time very raw and soulful.

Cradle Duende presents a combination of Klezmer and Flamenco “klezmenco” with an infusion of reggae-cumbia and balkan melodies and dance rhythms. Cradle Duende takes its name from the Spanish word “duende”, in reference to a musically heightened state of emotion, expression, and authenticity; and a merging of disparate musical traditions that each evolved from independent cradles of civilization. Cradle Duende brings the strength of deep cultural roots into the party atmosphere.
