The Kabin Studio, a non-profit based in Knocknaheeny, Cork, runs workshops for young people interested in creating music. Founder Garry McCarthy emphasizes the importance of allowing kids to express themselves through music. The Kabin Crew, a group of over-nine-year-olds, collaborated with refugee children from the Lisdoonvarna Crew to record The Spark, which became a viral sensation with 1.3 billion plays on TikTok. The studio aims to tell stories through rap, songwriting, hip-hop, storytelling, and poetry on an international level. The Guardian’s Ireland correspondent, Rory Carroll, spent a day with the Kabin Crew and Lisdoonvarna Crew at the Electric Picnic music festival. McCarthy highlights the energy and creativity of the young participants, showcasing the power of music to bring different communities together through collaboration and storytelling. The Kabin Studio’s success in reaching a global audience with their music highlights the importance of supporting initiatives that empower and amplify the voices of young people. The Guardian encourages readers to support their journalism, which remains independent and accessible to all.
