Cushla

Fusing tradition and technology – including AI-driven visuals – this innovative collective is centred around the shared creative vision of acclaimed Irish composer/producer Leo Pearson, and Marc Fernandez, who hails from Catalonia. Influenced by sean-nós singing as much as contemporary electronic sounds, Cushla’s debut album Tech Duinn is expected in Autumn 2025 via Barcelona-based Foehn Records.

Hear: ‘Ar Casa’, featuring sean-nós singer Nell Ní Chróinín
