YAELOKRE, support: Ben Caplan

Folk

A handling fee of 30 CZK applies. If you ever feel as if music has lost its capacity for surprise, the beguiling wonder and infinite creativity of Yaelokre will respark your belief. The Filipino-Icelandic artist -- real name Keath Ósk -- fuses three imaginative strands to their visionary expression: intimate, innocent folk infused with leftfield surrealism and instant pop accessibility; artwork which is intricately detailed and beautifully alluring; and storytelling which brings personal experience and poetry into rich, fable-like narratives. What's more, all three of these elements are crafted by this one visionary artist. "I thought I would be telling stories to little children while they were sitting in front of me at the library. That was my dream. I wanted to be a storyteller. I wanted to read stories. I wanted to be a kindergarten teacher and I wanted to voice act. Now to think I get to do this with so many people, not just children but adults too, it's all so wonderful. I just love it. There are so many possibilities!"
