Vilma Talvitie / Worldwide Welshman / Lo-fi Jones

[English below]

Cyfansoddes a cantores “folk-pop” o’r Ffindir yw Vilma Talvitie, sy’n byw rhwng Helsinki ac Istanbul. Mae hi’n cymysgu cerddoriaeth gwerin a pop o’r Ffindir a thu hwnt, ac yn canu am themâu tywyll gyda llais bywiog a phwerus, wedi’i dylanwadu gan draddodiadau canu Finno-Ugric.

Fel perfformiwr unigol, mae Vilma yn oleuni llwyfannau o amgylch Ewrop gyda’i cyfuniad gyfareddol o llais, piano, percwsiwn-corff, offerynnau taro, dawns a drama. Yn ei chaneuon, mae Vilma yn defnyddio straeon gwerin Nordig ac Ewropeaidd, ac alawon traddodiadol, gan eu gymysu â’i chyfansoddiadau a geiriau ei hun.

Ers graddio fel Meistr Cerddoriaeth o Academi Sibelius, Prifysgol y Celfyddydau, Helsinki yn 2018, mae Vilma wedi perfformio yn mwy na 30 o wledydd yn Ewrop, Asia a De America.

Mae'r brodyr Liam a Siôn Rickard (Lo-fi Jones) yn edrych ymlaen yn fawr iawn i groesawu eu ffrind, Vilma, i Dyffryn Dyfi am y tro cyntaf i berfformio yn y Tabernacl (MOMA) fel rhan o'i daith o gwmpas gorllewin Ewrop i hybu eiei halbwm unigol cyntaf, “Mistä mihin” (I ble?). Buodd y brodyr yn gyfarfod Vilma ym mis Rhagfur 2017, pan aethon nhw i gyd i Brno, Czechia, i gymryd rhan mewn gŵyl cerddoriaeth a dawnsio, sef Folk Marathon Brno. Yna, buon nhw' jamio tan yr oriau man ac yn perfformio gyda’n gilydd mewn cyngerdd Noson Galan. Aeth Liam a Vilma a rhai o'r criw ymlaen i Pazin, Croatia, i ymuno a gynulliad arall o gerddorion traddodiadol, Trad-in-etno-mini-folk-marathon. Dros y blynyddoedd nesaf, buon nhw’n cyfarfod eto mewn sawl cynulliad cerddoriaeth ryngwladol yn cynnws Lloegr, Portiwgal, yr Almaen, Estonia, Slofenia a Gwlad Belg.

I ddathlu ymweliad cyntaf Vilma i Gymru, mae Liam wedi trefnu gig iddi hi yn y Tabernacl (MOMA), Machynlleth, gyda Lo-fi Jones a Worldwide Welshman.

Mae'n siwr i bod yn noson cofiadwy o gerddoriaeth amrywiol a ddifyr gyda digon o hiwmor.

Machynlleth based musicians Liam and Siôn Rickard (Lo-fi Jones) aref delighted to welcome their friend Vilma to Dyffryn Dyfi for the first time ever to perform in the Tabernacle on the UK lef of her European tour promoting her debut solo album, “Mistä mihin” (where to?).

Liam and Siôn met Vilma in December 2017 when they all went to Brno in the Czech Republic to take part in the Folk Marathon – an annual gathering of musicians and dancers which takes place in a different city every year. There, they jammed late into the night, went to lots of music and dance workshops by day, and performed together in a New Year’s Eve concert. Liam, Vilma and some of their group continued onto another musicians’ gathering in Pazin, Croatia. Over the coming years, they would meet again at music camps in England, Portugal, Germany, Estonia, Slovenia and Belgium.

To celebrate Vilma's first visit to Wales, Liam has organised a gig for her in the Tabernacle (MOMA), Machynlleth, with support from Lo-fi Jones and Worldwide Welshman. You're all invited!
