Kid Hyena - Trailblazing UrBAN FOLK Music from the backSTREETS Barcelona
Bio
A Musical Culture Clash of Urban Folk Music Featuring Foot Stompin' Sing Along Tunes, Fiery Percussion, Tap Dance Beats & a bundle of Positive Vibes! Now based in the UK.
Duo & Trio Show Available Now For Booking In 2024/2025
Founded on the backstreets & bars of Barcelona and influenced by old school folk & hip hop sounds, alternative rock, experimental and dance music, this is an act that puts the audience at the forefront of their show (see videos above).
Integral to the Kid Hyena sound is the exciting use of rhythm tap dance, which is a visceral and expressive art-form far removed from the cabaret style we are used to in the UK.
The band began life with an exploratory period of intensive recording where they released three albums over two and a half years. Some songs went on to be featured on Spanish & UK radio.
In September 2021 the duo purchased an old motorhome and sought to put the pandemic behind them by hitting the road to do what they love the most.
Since then they have played countless shows here, there & everywhere including the Isle of Wight, Glastonbury & Tropical festivals & had their work featured on BBC introducing.
Now a trio & based in Plymouth (South West England) they've got several projects currently on the go including the evolving 'Urban Folk' sounds of their unique live show, a musical graphic novel and new material being recorded - as ever the band cease to remain static and continue to look for new innovative ways forward with their music.

Mr Kid (Matt Kemp) - Percussion, Vocals, Samples & Guitar.
Miss Hyena (Maria Moreno) - Tap Dance Beats, Synth, Melodica, Vocals & Percussion.
