Ymarfer Byw – Dafydd Owain

I Ka Ching is proud to announce that Dafydd Owain will release his second solo album, ‘Ymarfer Byw’, on Wednesday, 8th October.

Following the success of his debut, the semi-conceptual album ‘Uwch Dros y Pysgod’ — nominated for both Welsh Language Album of the Year Award and the Welsh Music Prize — ‘Ymarfer Byw’ distills Dafydd’s signature style of meditative, intimate, and emotionally charged music.

At the heart of ‘Ymarfer Byw’ is a creative exploration of life’s deepest experiences. Dafydd expresses these moments in his own distinctive way, combining evocative language with a simple yet poignant musical approach. The album presents a collection of songs that reflect his honest and personal journey through complex, layered emotions.

In recent months, Dafydd has released two singles from the album, ‘Leo’ and ‘Cawl’, both of which have received an excellent response. He will celebrate the album’s release with two live performances: the first at Galeri, Caernarfon on 11th October, followed by a second at St John’s Church, Canton, Cardiff on 28th November.
