CARA Music - Celtic Folk

Saturday, 16.11.2024, 20:00

gong in the Kulturforum Illenau

With CARA, an Irish Folk band visits Achern that seeks its equal in authenticity, virtuosity, and musical diversity in this country. When they play, sound spaces and images open up that take the audience on a journey into poetic worlds while never losing touch with the present. Fairytale ballads about love and betrayal, about magical power, about longing and revenge, about dark, stormy times and the ever-blooming hope alternate with the typical spirited dance melodies, as they are still played in the pubs of Ireland today. For 21 years, the band has toured Germany and around the world, playing not only traditional songs but also their own modern songs and tunes. They have undertaken seven tours to the USA alone. Those who dare to venture into international terrain in this genre are measured by a different standard, and CARA has passed these trials with flying colors. CARA has already been awarded the Irish Music Award twice.

Cara – Award-winning Celtic Music - Eine Irish Folk Band

With CARA, an Irish Folk band is visiting Ahaus that seeks its equal in authenticity, virtuosity, and musical diversity in this country. When they play, sound spaces and images unfold that take the listeners on a journey into poetic worlds while never losing their contemporary relevance. Enchanting ballads about love and betrayal, about magical powers, about longing and revenge, about dark, stormy times and the ever-blooming hope alternate with the typical lively dance melodies that are still played in the pubs of Ireland today.

For 21 years, the band has been touring through Germany and the world, playing not only traditional songs but also their own modern songs and tunes. Seven tours have taken them alone to the USA. Folk aficionados know - those who dare to venture into this genre on international terrain will be measured by a different standard. CARA has passed these trials by fire with flying colors and is highly regarded by fellow musicians from Ireland and Great Britain. They have already been awarded the Irish Music Award twice.

Today, the band consists of a multinational lineup. The charismatic frontwoman Gudrun Walther, a singer and perhaps the most accomplished fiddler in the country, has realized numerous projects with renowned musicians. Her compositions have been covered by international bands. With Kim Edgar, one of the best British songwriters belongs to CARA. Her songs, composed on the piano and impressively interpreted, reflect her enthusiasm for horror and myths, history and feminism, earning her the title of "Scotland’s very own Tori Amos." She can trace her family roots back to the northwest of Ireland, to County Donegal. Simon Pfisterer is an outstanding interpreter of the Uilleann Pipes - the Irish bagpipe - having studied the instrument at the University in Limerick, Ireland and holding a BA in Irish Music and Dance. The trained jazz guitarist and producer Jürgen Treyz has released over 80 CDs of his own music and received numerous awards. It is not least his arrangements, praised by international trade magazines, that give CARA their unique sound.

Cara "Award-Winning Irish Music"

CARA is a multinational Celtic Folk band that has won two Irish Music Awards. The musicians enjoy an excellent reputation for their innovative arrangements, original compositions, and songwriting, as well as their virtuosic performance and charismatic stage presence.
They create their own sound, with the voices of the two singers Gudrun Walther and Kim Edgar at the center. The vocal range spans from dreamy ballads to archaic Gaelic Mouth Music and original songs with contemporary socio-political references, with the two lead singers complementing each other with dreamlike certainty.
The songs alternate with lively instrumental pieces, brought to life by the virtuosic interplay of fiddle and Uilleann pipes. The Irish bagpipes, which were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage in 2017, are played by Simon Pfisterer, who studied this extraordinary instrument at the University of Limerick. The elegant and expressive fiddle playing of Gudrun Walther is highly praised by the press both domestically and abroad.
What makes CARA particularly special is the interaction between guitar and piano, as well as the elaborate and rhythmically and harmonically rich arrangements of the band. They bear the signature of Jürgen Treyz, guitarist, producer, and musical mastermind of the band.
From the opener to the encore, CARA sets highlights in their concerts, not least through the captivating solos contributed by each band member, surprising the audience with always new sounds. Rounded off by the charmingly humorous presentation, an evening with Cara guarantees the highest musical enjoyment and best entertainment. Tours and rapturous concerts in the USA, Australia, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Germany, France, Benelux, Austria, Italy, and Switzerland illustrate the band's success story.

Cara - Celtic Folk Music

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.

Cara Rose is a 26-year-old singer-songwriter from Glasgow, Scotland. Cara explores what it means to be a young woman navigating life in such uncertain times. With her heartfelt thoughts, she has won fans of all ages while honing her craft on the many stages of Glasgow. Her direct, passionate, and empathetic lyrics are unmistakably Glaswegian, addressing themes such as love, life, and her place in the world.
The debut single Learn to Speak, a story of upheaval and determination, cemented the growing enthusiasm for one of the brightest young talents in the country. It received editorial support from Spotify and reached over 3.5 million streams, gaining her fans in her native Scotland, Europe, and North America. In early 2020, Cara went into the studio with renowned producer Matt Ingram (Lianne La Havas, Laura Marling) and began completing her debut EP Urges, which was highly anticipated and released in October 2020.

After spending the lockdown with her family in a small coastal town in the west of Scotland, Cara began writing her most expressive and introspective work to date, culminating in a new EP featuring tender piano ballads that radiate a talent far beyond her years. How It Feels (released in November 2021) showcases the young songwriter at her most vulnerable in terms of lyrics, willingly leaning into the jazz influence that shaped much of her childhood.
In the following years, she released heartfelt yet brilliant singles and played her biggest concert to date for 600 people in her hometown of Glasgow.

After Cara completed her first headline show outside of Scotland in November 2023, she set off on a sold-out debut European tour in 2024, with concerts in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Musically gifted from a young age, Cara has nurtured her love for music from the soul. Her sound is reminiscent of artists like Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill, Joan Armatrading, and John Martyn.

Cara Rose is definitely an artist you should not miss. See for yourself when she takes the stage at the beautiful Nochtspeicher on February 5, 2025.

Cara - Celtic-Folk-Music

„Cara sounds like Cara – there can be no better recommendation!“ writes the trade magazine Folker, hitting the nail on the head.
The Celtic Folk band, honored with two Irish Music Awards, consists of Irish, Scottish, and German musicians and has earned an excellent reputation over its 19 years of existence for its innovative arrangements, original compositions, and songwriting, virtuoso performances, and a charismatic stage presence. The range of their music goes far beyond the usually known Irish folk music.
CARA stands for the successful combination of the singing of two outstanding female vocalists with convincing Irish instrumental pieces at the highest level. Virtuoso solos on the Irish bagpipe, rapid violin passages, moving ballads, and masterful guitar playing – the list could go on for a long time.
Celtic-Rock judges: “After 15 years, Cara has not only achieved a level of technical maturity unmatched by others, but also developed a confident unique style that organically blends influences from both sides of the Atlantic.”
