Welcome to the music of Karmadillo – the award winning band where witty English songs are written and performed on a South American folk instrument. We mix the the beautiful sound of the South American charango with quirky songs and heartfelt ballads. Think Divine Comedy meets Noah and The Whale with Zappa looking on as an approving grandad.
We’ve been described as ‘Hawaiian Beach Music Gone Wrong’ and a ‘Cheered Up Leonard Cohen’.
You come to us during exciting times for Karmadillo! We have just being crowned busking champions of the Cambridge Busking Festival 2010 and have an album with some of our most popular songs on it due out next month!
Rob, the harbinger of high quality Belgian beers will be serving as Karmadillo play a free acoustic gig in the Elm Tree on Eden Street, Cambridge. Come along and enjoy!
We also have appearances at the Cambridge Rock Festival at the start of August. Karmadillo will be in a busking tent (where else at the moment?!) on the Friday and Saturday. Will update here and on twitter/facebook closer to the time!
On the back of being the Cambridge Busking Festival 2010 winner, it looks like some club tent appearances have materialised at the Cambridge Folk Festival! Got a performance on the Friday and the Sunday afternoon – will update on Twitter and here when I can closer to the time!
Here are some images of the last time we played the Folk Festival from 2005.
