‘Cynefin’ (pr. kuh-neh-vin) is the creative vision of West Wales native Owen Shiers. Drawing inspiration from folk song, the ‘beirdd gwlad’ (folk poet) tradition–as well as living oral history and story, Cynefin explores the intersection between music, poetry, agriculture and the natural world. A personal dispatch from the struggle to maintain a language, culture and way of life, 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.
