Cerys Hafana is a composer and multi-instrumentalist who mangles, mutates, and
transforms traditional music. She explores the creative possibilities and unique
qualities of the triple harp, and is also interested in found sounds, archival
materials and electronic processing. She comes 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.
Edyf, her second album, drew inspiration from material found in the Welsh
National Library’s online archive, including fragments of Psalm tunes, hymns about
doomsday and philosophical musings on the length of eternity, along with some
original compositions, and was selected as one of The Guardian’s Top Ten folk
albums of 2022. Cerys’ latest EP, The Bitter, released earlier in 2024 is an
innovative exploration of some dark English and Scottish ballads.
“eerie folk fusion and creative use of harp and found sounds. Innovation
abounds…. likely to take a song that we all know so well and tilt it to one side.”
Tradfolk
 
"…she’s 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.
