The brain-child of West Wales native Owen Shiers, this Cynefin § is a musical mapping project which traces a line from the past to the present – starting in the Clettwr Valley where Owen grew up, immersed in Welsh music.
§ Cynefin, 'kuh-neh-vin', a Welsh word with no direct equivalent in English, is a journey to discover. Often translated into English as ‘habitat’, but more than a place in a physical or geographical sense; it's a historic, cultural and social place which has shaped and continues to shape the community which inhabits it. The word has been included as a core concept within the Schools Curriculum for Wales. Originally, it meant a habitual sheep-track. ~ Editor.
