Cradled Duende share Ashkenazic melodies from the Eastern European klezmer tradition. A joining of several cultures, they incorporate klezmer clarinet with rhythms of flamenco, reggae, and West African bata drumming. Lyrics are sung in Hebrew and Spanish over cajon and the didgeridoo.
There is said to be no single cradle of civilization, but several independent communities in existence at the same time. The Spanish word 'Duende' refers to a heightened state of emotion, expression and authenticity.
The musicians combine their different gypsy heritages, and push past the boundaries of set musical styles. They promote cultural sustainability through bicycle performances and exist to encourage others through music.

]]>Pedal Power NYC, an organization dedicated to capturing and repurposing human power, announces an amazing series of bike powered concert rehearsals
a.k.a. The Natural Ass Sessions!
Volunteer riders will crank it out on a fleet of newly fabricated bike generators creating the first ever big sound pedal-powered music rehearsals in NYC.
We will harness your body’s energy as you amplify some of New Yawk’s sickest musicians, rendering our stage completely off the grid.
No kidding—human electric. Electric humans.
Nourishment provided for pedalers. Pedalers interact with some of NYC’s baddest musicians.
Five most active pedalers get backstage passes to the upcoming NYC Celebrates Water Festival in Union Square on June 26th, where they’ll be part of the first totally Pedal-Powered Music Stage ever in the park.
The Rehearsal Sessions:
Electric Humans Needed
