Concert by Maddi, Alffa and Alvise Nodale

A young singer-songwriter who has found the perfect sonic landscape in which to express her emotions, combining minimal orchestral arrangements with modern songwriting techniques. Her profound poetry lends a sense of mystery and musicality to the Basque language, resulting in dreamlike songs that capture the sweetness and darkness of everyday life.

Hailing from Llanrug — nicknamed the most Welsh village in the world — the Alffa band channels the wild beauty and indomitable spirit of their homeland through their sound. With roots in punk, blues and rock, Alffa’s music features piercing riffs and is raw, urgent and unmistakable. However, what truly triggers their explosiveness is something deeper: the conviction that music in minoritised languages is not a niche, but a necessity, alive, constantly evolving and… loud.

One of the true standard-bearers of a new generation of Carnic singer-songwriters, Alvise stands out for the dreamy sensibility of his lyrics and vocal tone, as well as for his guitar writing. His music redefines the spaces and imagery of the valleys he describes, imbuing them with an air of mystery and charm through his haunting melodies.
