Welsh multi-instrumentalist and producer Huw Marc Bennett sinks his hands deep into the soil of South Wales, reimagining traditional melodies from the Morgannwg/Glamorgan region through an earth-toned palette of folk, jazz, and psychedelic roots. 'Heol Las' is ancient music seen through a modern prism; acoustic textures rubbing up against hypnotic grooves, field-worn stories refracted into new shapes. Every track on the album is either drawn directly from, or woven around, archival tunes of the region. Bennett's approach is reverent yet expansive, pulling history into the present while staying grounded in community, landscape, and lived culture. Bennett says, 'On this record there are versions, interpretations, and tunes influenced by cerddoriaeth werin, the folk music of Morgannwg; The place I was born, I was raised in, and revisit to feel grounded. The melodies you hear were given, found, and invented.'Tracklisting:A1. Carol Haf (Summer Carol)A2. y Fedwen (The Birch) A3. Can y Saer Maen (Stonemason's Song)A4.
