"The Spark" is a song by the Irish children's hip hop groups Kabin Crew and Lisdoonvarna Crew. It was first released as a music video on 16 May 2024 by Creative Ireland—an Irish government organization that organizes Cruinniú na nÓg, an annual day dedicated to children's creativity—and later released as a single onto streaming platforms by Rubyworks Records on 13 June 2024. The unofficial Cruinniú na nÓg anthem was produced by GMCBeats, director of the Cork-based nonprofit the Kabin Studio, where the Kabin Crew was formed during an Easter workshop. "The Spark" features both them and the Lisdoonvarna Crew, which consists of asylum seeker children from a direct provision centre in Lisdoonvarna, rapping about their creativity over a drum and bass beat. It went viral online after its music video was posted by RTÉ and saw further virality on TikTok, also receiving critical and social media praise.
