Lunatraktors

I am a big fan of the Lunatraktors. They offer an experience which I am sure will linger on long after the evening as ended. They are a collaboration between choreographer and percussionist Carli Jefferson and vocalist and researcher Clair Le Couteur. Starting in 2017 with an apocalyptic question What's left when we've lost everything the project strips down folk to the basics of rhythm and voice. Jefferson's hybrid of tap dance, flamenco and body percussion, developed after touring with STOMP (2001-2004), meets Le Couteur's self-taught overtone singing and 3+ octave range. This is the foundation of what they call their style of 'broken folk'. The hard-hitting social commentary is enhanced through the use of harmonic singing, dance, accordion, and whistles. Not to be missed.
