About Me

carekka is from Lisbon, Portugal. He mixes lap slide guitar with acoustic blues, reggae, roots and funk.
After living in Barcelona, Spain where he studied Jazz he developed his interest in Flamenco, Spanish typical music. The love for World Music had started. He visited countries like Brazil and Morocco and always tried to bring home a bit of culture in the form of a musical instrument.
In 2005 he traveled to Australia where he spent a year and a half. There, his style of music grew through experience other types of sounds, cultures, jams at strange hours in beautiful places and seeing and hearing artists such as The Cat Empire, John Butler Trio, Xavier Rudd, Kelly Joe Phelps, Ben Harper, Marshall and the Fro and more.
He recorded his first solo work 'Slight Delay' in Manly Addison Studios - Australia, which was used in the soundtrack of "Flavours", a movie about Indonesian culture produced by Blindmoose.net.
He has clearly crafted his own unique style which has a sincere raw energy, whether solo or with a band. His acoustic performances are vibrant and groovy, playing with such a passion that captivates the listener, young or old.
