Formed in Dublin in 2004 by Argentinean musician Ariel Hernandez, Lunfardia was a regular group at venues and festivals around Ireland performing their exciting mix of Latin American song and dance tunes. The passionate and soulful singing of Hernandez combined with his eclectic jazz-folk guitar style blended perfectly with the violin, bass, accordion and percussion of the ensemble in Ariel's own intricate arrangements. 2010 saw Ariel return to live in his native Argentina and the final performance of Lunfardia. A planned reunion in 2021 was scuppered by the pandemic but summer 2025 will finally bring Lunfardia together again to delight Irish audiences with their signature Latin panache and flair.

Emerging from Dublin, Chief Keegan released their debut album, The Piles High Club in early 2024 which is garnering rave reviews and showcasing their tight grooves and catchy hooks.
