Music video for the lead single from the new Cynefin album, Shimli. The song presents the words of an old obscure cân (a poem or song) by farmer Ifan Jones from Prengwyn. In the poem Jones describes the family farmhouse surrounded by a stoic army of helmi (corn stacks) in golden regalia, protecting the inhabitants from hunger and the scourge of winter. As romantic as the depiction may seem, the piece is a poignant and lyrical account of the not-so-distant past. Not only have helmi disappeared from the Welsh landscape – significantly, so too have the native crops that once fed a nation. For a country now almost completely reliant on imported food, there is perhaps a timely message in his words.
