​Ala Par

Ala Par are a husband and wife duo, coming all the way from Santa Fe for a small tour including Ham Farm Festival.

First prize winners of the Cosquin Prize - the biggest folk music prize in Argentina - they perform their own stunning arrangements of Argentinean folk music on guitar and up to two voices. With a strong artistic commitment and a shared passion for folk music, Elisabet and Rodrigo continue to develop their artistic path, focused on cultural exchange, touring, and promoting the musical heritage of Argentina.

We have been trying to secure them for Ham Farm Festival for a couple of years, and are delighted that the stars have aligned to make it possible for Ala Par to open Ham Farm Festival 2026 for us!

​Ellinoa - "Mejiro"

Mejiro is the latest project of French singer, arranger and composer Ellinoa. Named after both a Tokyo neighbourhood and a small Japanese bird, the Mejiro sextet is a love letter to Japan and its rich imagination. Blending elements of chamber music, jazz and folk music, Ellinoa crafts a unique and poetic sound, whcih transcends genres, drawing from classical and improvisational languages to create a truly unique but approachable soundworld. 

Ellinoa was ranked in the top 3 vocalists of the year by Jazz Magazine and Jazz News, and this project, Mejiro, was nominated as best vocal jazz album of the year by the french Jazz Academy
