..Cynefin?
‘Cynefin’ (pr.’kuh-neh-vin’), a word with no direct translation into English, is the musical brainchild of Welsh folk singer, researcher, grain grower and cultural historian Owen Shiers.
The project is a musical petition – a stake in the ground for the diverse and the disappearing in our age of homogenisation and mass amnesia. Grounded in years of research, collecting and absorbing the culture and traditions of his native Ceredigion, it aims to provide a window into the past in addition as bring present day issues into sharp focus.
A personal dispatch from the struggle to maintain a language, culture and way of life – cynefin is a uniqye musical project with a timely message.
