Castanets (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Castanets is the musical project of Raymond Raposa, a San Diego native currently residing in New York City. While Raposa is the only constant member of the band, his records and live performances often feature a seemingly never ending rotating cast of musicians, the line-up often changing from night to night in a single tour. First touted by Pitchfork Media, Castanets were one of the more prominent proponents of the so-called freak folk movement (aka psychedelic folk, New Weird America, etc.) that took place in the U.S. music scene in 2003-04.
In addition to his regular touring, Raposa recently toured the east coast's Intracoastal Waterway in a sailboat with singer/songwriters Jana Hunter and Red Hunter (aka Peter and the Wolf).
