A MWLDAN PRODUCTION / CYNHYRCHIAD Y MWLDAN
Celebrating 16 years of their ongoing partnership, this is a fascinating collaboration between two musical power-houses; much-celebrated Welsh harpist Catrin Finch and the massed strings (cuatro, bandola, harp etc) of terrific Colombian folk artists Cimarrón.
Catrin Finch is one of the world’s greatest harp players, an extraordinary talent and musical adventurer whose career includes both solo performances with the world’s top orchestras and, more recently, sensational award-winning collaborations with some of the greatest global musicians including Edmar Castaneda (Colombia), Toumani Diabaté (Mali), Seckou Keita (Senegal) and Ireland’s Aoife Ní Bhriain.
The 6-piece Grammy-nominated Cimarrón, led by vocalist Ana Veydo, perform joropo dance music from the cattle-rearing plains of the Orinoco, rooted in a deep tradition defined by the mestizo mixed heritage of African, Spanish and indigenous cultures. Cimarrón make wild, untamed music that preserves the spirit of freedom found in one of the world’s most untouched regions. Fast-paced and powerful, their music combines impetuous singing, amazing stomp dancing and fierce instrumental virtuosity of strings and percussion.
Gan ddathlu 16eg flwyddyn eu cydweithrediad, mae Catrin Finch a Cimarrón yn cyfarfod eto i deithio’r DU yn ystod haf 2023; cydweithrediad byd-eang gwefreiddiol rhwng dau o fawrion y byd cerddorol.
Mae Catrin Finch yn un o delynoresau gorau’r byd. Mae’n ddawn ryfeddol ac yn anturiaethwraig gerddorol y mae ei gyrfa’n cynnwys perfformiadau unigol gyda cherddorfeydd amlycaf y byd ac, yn fwy diweddar, cydweithrediadau aruthrol gwobrwyedig gyda rhai o gerddorion blaenaf y blaned gan gynnwys Toumani Diabate (Mali), Seckou Keita (Senegal) ac Aoife Ní Bhriain o Iwerddon.
Mae Cimarrón y grŵp 6 aelod sydd wedi’i enwebu am Grammy, dan arweiniad y gantores Ana Veydo, yn perfformio cerddoriaeth ddawns joropo o wastatiroedd magu gwartheg yr Orinoco, wedi’i wreiddio mewn traddodiad dwfn a ddiffinnir gan dreftadaeth gymysg mestizo o ddiwylliannau Affrica, Sbaen a brodorol. Mae Cimarrón yn creu cerddoriaeth wyllt, nwyfus sy’n diogelu’r ysbryd o ryddid sy’n bodoli mewn un o ranbarthau mwyaf dilychwin y byd. Yn gyflym ac yn bwerus, mae eu cerddoriaeth yn cyfuno canu byrbwyll, dawnsio stomp anhygoel a hyfedredd y llinynnau a’r offerynnau taro.
Book a table for pre-concert dining

Please purchase your concert tickets first before booking a table. We will not accept any table bookings that do not have a corresponding ticket purchase.

PLEASE NOTE THE VENUE RELIES ON THE INCOME FROM DINING TO ENSURE WE CAN BOOK ALL THE GREAT ACTS PERFORMING.
Income from the provision of pizzas is very important to the venue and if you have booked a table it is a requirement that all people sat at tables order food - a salad alternative is available to pizzas. Please do ensure that all individuals will be ordering on your table - if this is not the case please cancel your table so others who are looking to dine can do so. Our apologies to raise this but recently we have had many tables (some very large) where less than 50% of those sat at tables have ordered food. Financially this is a real problem to the sustainability of the venue.
- All seating at tables must purchase a pizza - so please do not book a table if everyone is not eating.
- Please ensure that you arrive 10 minutes before the time slot allocated to order your pizzas prior to your booking time.
- Tables not seated within 15 minutes of the allocated time may be lost and allocated to other audience members wishing to order pizzas.
- If you wish to book a table for 6 or more please email info@acapela.co.uk
Please note that all of our pizzas are made fresh to order and cooked in an authentic wood-fired oven. It may take up to 45 minutes to be served during busy periods.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO BOOK A TABLE YOU CAN STILL ORDER PIZZAS ON THE NIGHT (USUALLY ON BUSY NIGHTS NO LATER THAN 7.15PM) AND WE WILL SERVE THEM TO YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE SAT IN THE VENUE - IN A PIZZA BOX.
