Cervatana

CERVATANA is a Spanish trio whose music blends krautrock with dance-floor rhythms. The group's London concert at The Shacklewell Arms is the only stop on its tour outside Spain.

CERVATANA is a Spanish trio that plays krautrock built for the dance floor. Its singer, Miguelito García, is also the vocalist of Burrito Kachimba, a project linked to Derby Motoreta. The trio's self-titled debut album was released by the label Oso Polita and draws on techno and acid rave as well as on rock, so the sound moves between hypnotic electronic textures and guitar-based song structures.

The group's approach to live performance centres on rhythm and repetition, with the music designed to keep an audience moving. Their London date is the only one on the tour taking place outside Spain, which makes it a rare chance to see the band in the United Kingdom on this run.

The Shacklewell Arms in Dalston hosts concerts and shows in London, and this evening is one of its electronic programmes. Those drawn to Spanish electronic music, krautrock influences or the crossover between techno and rock will find the trio's debut record a useful introduction before the performance.
