CAOIMHÍN (agus banna // and band)
Léiritheoir, amhránaí agus il-uirliseoir is ea é Caoimhín, a chruthaíonn fuaim nua Gaelach lán anama ag an chrosbhóthar idir an ceol tíre agus an ceol damhsa nua-aimseartha.
Agus é ag seinm beo le fliúiteanna, feadóga, giotáir, rialtóirí midi agus maindilín, ath-shamhlaíonn sé gnéithe de bhéaloideas, ceol agus teanga na hÉireann ag baint úsáid as lúbadh beo, sampláil agus ceol leictreonach, ag cruthú pacáiste spreagúil damhsa atá i ndiadh ardáin a mhaisiú ar fud na hÉireann agus thar lear ar na mallaibh.
In 2025 eisíodh céadalbam an cheoltóra comhleá thraidisiúnta Ríocht na Sí, curtha ar ghearrliosta do ghradaim albam agus amhrán Gaeilge ag Hot Press agus NÓS.

Amano
Cumadóir, amhránaí, file, agus taibhealaíontóir is ea Amano a bhfuil meascán de shean-nós, hip hap, popcheol agus ceol deabhóideach le fáil ina shaothar.
Tá a cleachtas tumtha i dtuigbheáil anamach ar an talamh, an dúlra agus na foirmeacha ilchineálacha beatha lena roinnimid an domhan.
Sula dteachaigh sí i mbun gairm bheatha sna healaíona, chaith Amano na blianta ag imeacht le mála droma ag déanamh taighde ar chreidimh an domhain, antraipeolaíocht agus fealsúnacht. Is féidir rianta de na tionchair leathana chultúrtha seo a mhothú ina taibhiú inniu.
Rugadh Amano i ndeisceart na Seapáine agus tógadh i gcroílár Chiarraí í. Chuaigh an nGaelainn agus an ceol go mór i bhfeidhm urithi i rith a leathanta scoile agus thoisigh sí a sheinm go gairmiúil agus í ina déagóir.
Le blianta beaga anuas tá tacaíocht faighte ag Amano ó Chomhairle Ealaíon na hÉireann, an Taibhdhearc agus Comhairle Contae Chiarraí lena ceol agus scríbhneoireacht a fhorbairt.

Amano is a songwriter, singer, poet and performance artist whose work blends sean-nós, hip-hop, pop and devotional music.
Her practice is steeped in an animist understanding of the land, nature and the diverse life forms with which we share the world.
Before pursuing a career in the arts, Amano spent years backpacking and researching world religions, anthropology and philosophy. Traces of these broad cultural influences can be felt in her performance today.
Amano was born in southern Japan and raised in the heart of county Kerry. She was deeply influenced by Irish language and music throughout her schooling and began performing professionally as a teenager.
In recent years, Amano has received support from the Arts Council of Ireland, An Taibhdhearc and Kerry County Council to develop her music and writing.
