Cawatana

Cawatana was formed in 1999, but the two founding members (S"or"os Gerg"o - vocals, acoustic guitar, percussions, Kiss Bal'azs - acoustic and classical guitars) have played music together for more than ten years in various forms. In 2004 S"or"os Gerg"o has founded his own band, Larrnakh, since then Kiss Bal'azs has been the only official member of Cawatana, now he is responsible for all the music and (partially) the lyrics, while S"or"os Gerg"o became a "constant guest musician", who sings on recordings (and contributes also in the lyrics), and he is the live drummer and vocalist. At the beginning on concerts and recordings they were helped by some guest musicians on keyboards, bass, percussions, but recently there has been a stable line up for concerts, containing Kiss Korn'el on acoustic guitar and Kiss Ott'o on bass. Formerly the music of Cawatana balanced between tranquil, acoustic guitar-based neofolk and harsher snare drummings and other percussions, with keyboards playing an important role in both styles. Nowadays the harsher industrial parts seems to disappear from their music.
