Various - Cofio

Review by Ильсур Гареев

Cofio, the latest album by Various, is a beautiful tribute to Welsh music and culture. Featuring a collection of traditional Welsh songs and contemporary compositions, the album is a celebration of the country's rich musical heritage.

The album opens with "Ar Hyd y Nos", a hauntingly beautiful rendition of the Welsh lullaby. Other traditional songs, such as "Sosban Fach" and "Calon Lân", are given new life with fresh arrangements and stunning vocal performances.

The contemporary tracks on the album are equally impressive. "Cân y Cŵn", a song about the Welsh tradition of hunting with hounds, is a rousing anthem that showcases the band's musicianship and energy. "Yr Eneth Gadd ei Gwrthod", a song about a rejected woman seeking revenge, is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases the vocal talents of the album's singers.
