You might know
Carwyn
from other projects like
Colorama
,
Bendith
(Welsh dreamy folk), or
Zarelli
(hauntologic electronic). Or maybe you might be familiar with him because he collaborates with pop superstars and universal references like
Edwyn Collins
,
The Pretenders
,
Oasis
, or
Saint Etienne
. Or maybe you don't know him at all, so far, because Ellis is one of those musicians that does not feel self-important, that is not under the spotlight but that is praised by other musicians and everyone wants to collaborate with. His diverse personal projects are a sample of his passionate love for the music with no borders of any kind. He is hard to label, and transforms his skin in each new record. Almost in every song. He records the albums that he feels like doing whenever he feels like doing them, and with the sound and the people that stand out for him in that moment. Most of his songs are sung in Welsh, his mother language, but his music is timeless and universal. Carwyn always approaches the global by the local. It isn't a coincidence that precisely now he has decided to take the plunge and go to Rio de Janeiro to record, along with two distinguished crazy local artists like
Domenico Lancellotti
and
Kassin
, his most colorful record.
Joia!
, in which he presents his new band
Carwyn Ellis & Rio 18
, is a non-explicit plea against the Brexit. Against any Brexits taking place right now any way or another in this world shocked by the continuous transformations and fears that they lead to. Pretty sure that Lancellotti or Kassin might say that it is an anti-
Bolsonaro
record. However, Carwyn and his fellows in Rio 18 prefer to do a cheerful and positive record, like almost all the South American music it is inspired by, to celebrate that those changes, that definitely marks an era, boosts and eases the fact that a musician from Cardiff is able to record an album with musicians from the other side of the world, and make it halfway between Rio and London with the invaluable help from another top musician, like
Shawn Lee
.
