Geraint Jarman, Cariad Cwantwm

Album number seventten by Welsh legend Geraint Jarman, Cariad Cwantwm (Quantum Love).

For the first time in his career Geraint has decided to record an album comprised only of reggae tracks. This is an obvious (if overdue) decision for an artist who has regularily used reggae rhythms in his songs since the mid seventies. Geraint has used reggae’s radical ability to deal directly with social consciousness issues in many of his most political, spiritual and personal songs to share messages with his audience up and down the country and this new album brings this side of his work to the fore

It is hard to process the fact that it will be forty years since Geraint recorded and released his Welsh language rock masterpiece Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau and inspired whole generations of young rockers to become Wales’s future. Even harder is being able to assess and process all the artistic highs in a career as musician, poet, writer, producer and director that now spans over half a century. All we know is that this latest release enhances and comments on this unique legacy.

Dyma albym cyfa o draciau reggae yn unig. Mae’r penderfynaid yma yn un amlwg i artist sydd wedi bod yn defnyddio riddmau reggae yn rheolaidd yn ei ganeuon i gyfleu negeseuon gwleidyddol, ysbrydol a pherthnasol i gynulleidfaoedd ar hyd Cymru ers canol yr 1970au.

Mae hi yn anodd credu fod hi yn bedwar deg mlynedd ers i Geraint greu a rhyddhau lp pwysicaf y diwylliant roc yma yng Nghymru – Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau – yn 1978!

Dyma gasgliad diweddaraf sy’n cynnig i ni drysor cendlaethol, artist perthnasol, agored, llawn angerdd a chariad!
