CARA is a multinational Celtic Folk band that has won two Irish Music Awards and other prizes. In 2003, four closely-knit folk musicians came together to form CARA (Gaelic for 'friend'), and to this day, friendship, alongside their shared love for traditional music of Ireland and Scotland, plays a central role in the band.

In the more than 20 years, CARA has built an excellent reputation. Often highlighted are the innovative arrangements, the original compositions, and the songwriting, as well as the virtuoso performance and a charismatic stage presence. They create their own sound, in which the voices of the two singers Gudrun Walther and Kim Edgar take center stage. The vocal spectrum ranges from dreamy ballads to archaic Gaelic Mouth Music to their own songs with current societal and political relevance.

The songs alternate with fast-paced instrumental pieces, driven by the virtuosic interplay of fiddle and Uilleann Pipes. The Irish bagpipes, which were designated a UNESCO World Heritage in 2017, are played by CARA's new member Simon Pfisterer, who studied this extraordinary instrument at the University of Limerick.
