Lunatraktors
Jamboree, WC1X 9HH , [Venue Details]Re-imagining Anglo-Celtic traditionals through a shared love of trip-hop, flamenco and post-punk, Lunatraktors have gathered passionate fans at festivals, queer cabarets, theatres, and museums alike! “A clap of thunder over the lukewarm waters of contemporary folk” – Télérama France
Lunatraktors are choreographer and percussionist Carli Jefferson (she/her), and visually-impaired vocalist and researcher Clair Le Couteur (they/them). The duo began in 2017 with a post-apocalyptic question: what’s left when we’ve lost everything? Stripping folk song down to the bare bones, their ‘broken folk’ style blends Le Couteur’s overtone singing and 3+ octave range with the hybrid of tap, flamenco and body percussion, which Jefferson developed after touring with STOMP (2001-2004).
Lunatraktors are proudly DIY. Their live percussion-and-vocals debut ‘This Is Broken Folk’ made #9 in MOJO’s Top Ten Folk Albums of 2019; while second album The Missing Star reached the #2 position in 2021. Jefferson’s compulsion to dance while drumming prompted Lunatraktors to assemble a tonal percussion kit, fusing rhythm and melody. Added resonances come from Le Couteur’s free-reeds, whistles and analogue synths.
