Concert by Maddi, Alffa and Banelli Claudio

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.

If Carnia could represent itself through mystery, strength, tradition and discovery, Claudio Banelli would be the perfect embodiment of these qualities. A multiskilled artist, Claudio’s work ranges from analogue music production and performance to ironworking and storytelling. His style is as poignant as the blues and as sweet as a traditional Carnic song.
