Calan: Kân

Calan The untraditionally traditional Wales-based group Calan are coming to the end of their UK tour, and have released a second single Kân from their album Solomon, which was released May 12th on Sain Records.

To date, Calan has gone from busking in the streets of Cardiff to introducing Welsh traditional music to curious music fans in the UK, Belgium, Italy, France, and on several tours of North America, playing festival shows on huge stages to tens-of-thousands, as well as at local folk club shows, unrestricted by sound systems, while standing on tables and jumping off chairs.

Solomon’s latest single is “Kân,” a patriotic song about the future of the Welsh language and culture.

The track features the sampled voice of famed poet, Nigel Jenkins, the late father of Calan member, Angharad Jenkins. The chorus of this song is based on the style of traditional psalm chanting popular in West Wales at one time. [via Fanatic Promotion]
