As an old fart, I've been saying for a long time that there is just not much new "real" music being made. Auto-tune, over-edited, garage-band trash, looped crap, etc., dominates the airwaves (and does not speak well to today's generations). Well, today I have found some new, real, and real damn good, music. Or at least one song. Have to check out more by Alffa. Sort of a White Stripes flavor with an R.L. Burnside (blues) feel. Minimalistic in a good, very good, way. Made me think of Morphine (band) too, although you'd have to toss a nice baritone sax in there to really shake that vibe out. Anyway, good job, Alffa. More. Please.
Thanks Don, we really appreciate this! We've got a new single coming out early February and we're currently writing an album, so there's going to be plenty more from us! Alffa x
@@alffaband Was checking out contemporary music in different languages, and came upon this song which I thoroughly enjoyed listening to. Keep up the good work!
I'm a 2000's kid but I definitely recognise where you come from. I normally listen to 70's rock because all music now is the same and I agree this band turned the tide and I think they've done a fantastic job.
Really cool guys! I'm german living in ohio but spent some time in Wales and it's my favorite country . I was just there last year I wish I would have known about you would have seen if you were gigging. Love the Welsh language and it's refreshing to hear a great rock song in Welsh. Diolch!
I only speak English and I was listening to this on spotify and I loved it! Then I looked up the English translation and I thought you had some amazing content! Keep it up!!
I read the translation from a comment, I really like how Welsh sounds o-o and the sound fucking rocks, pun intended I'm Basque, so I really like listening to music in other minority, regional languages. Keep it up!!
Sounding pretty amazing, was listening to welsh folk music when I accidentally stumbled upon this. Really enjoy listening to the language in general, cheers from California

Would Love to hear it send a clip over alffaband@gmail.com.
Welsh Blues-Rock? HELL YES!!
No
I don’t understand the song but yeah!!!
English translation
Poison
Does it feel like paradise
Flowing through your veins
The doors closed around your surroundings
But there's no avoiding the problems
You better run whilst you're young
As there's no escape when you're older
Your background is poison
That pollutes your shadow x3
Your background is poison
That pollutes your shadow
You haven't shown me your cards
Or which game you're playing with us
And the taste of guilt is clear to the world
You're not a person since you left the crib
While everyone else sees black and white
Through our eyes is a profile of colours
Your background is poison
That pollutes your shadow x3
Your background is poison
That pollutes your shadow
Your background is poison
That pollutes your shadow x3
Your background is poison
That pollutes your shadow
Thank you, powerful lyrics!

You sound soo great, guys. Thanks to Spotify I could hear you and meet with your music. I recommend you to all my friends now :D
Byw hir y iaith gymraeg!

Love it! Found this thanks to Elis James
Really liking this. Sort of reminds me a bit of White Stripes but different.
Reminded me of this one

GREAT TUNE BOYS.
ripping along on my PRS.
This is honestly such a badass song, especially with the lyrics.
Do You know where can i find the lyrics? I'm doing my best but i can't find it, i'm really curious. :)
Search for an English translation on Google, its quite simple, really. There is a website which shows the lyrics both in Welsh and English.
Are you talking about the one by Swnami? Because that’s the first one to come up but it’s not the same song at all

Here are the lyrics: Ydio’n teimlo fel paradwys llwyr
Yn llifo trwy dy weithienau di
Y drysa sy’n cloi dy amgylchiadau
Ond does dim ffoio’r problema
Well i ti rhedeg tra ti’n ifanc
Pan ti’n hŷn, fy’n na’m dianc
Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn
Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di x3
Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn
Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di
Ti heb ddangos dy gardiau i ni
A pa gem ti’n trio chwara ‘da ni
A ma blas euoogrwydd yn amlwg i’r byd
Ti ddim yn berson ers i ti adal y crud A pawb arall yn gweld du a gwyn
A trwy ein llygid ni mae lliwiau
Yn adfil
Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn
Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di x3
Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn
Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di
Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn
Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di x3
Mae dy gefndir yn wenwyn
Sy’n llygru dy gysgod di
As someone who likes overdrive cranked up to 11, this is decent music. Heard it for the first time on MonFM this afternoon.
Basically, the lyrics are saying "You are poison". I can translate if anyone gets hold of the lyrics. Great track.
Dwi'n caru y can hyn mae fy ysgol yn gwrando iddo trwy'r amser!
Nid wyf yn rocer fel arfer ond nes i fwynhau hwn yn fawr iawn . da iawn hogiau !
This underrated
So Welsh Black Keys...?
Byw hir i iaith Gymraeg! Da iawn! (Sorry if my Welsh isn't very good, I haven't been learning very long.)
Da iawn!
Yea I have no idea what ur saying man but keep doing you 😂
Maybe you know, but it's because he's literally not speaking English.
Is rock/metal big in Wales? Because it's practically the national music of Brittany so I wonder if there's a connection there.

Holy shit guys, this song is awesome. Do you have any more other than this and Creadur?
Check our spotify👌🏻👌🏻

Gwenyn/Poison
You seem like a complete traitor
Flowing through your veins
Your evidence locks your circumstances
Their is no way of escaping your problems
You better find out when your young
Not when your an old man trying to escape.
Your background is poison
In the eyes of your shadow
You haven't shown your cards to us
What are you playing with us
Your taste s bad luck for the world
Your not the same person when you left the cradle
Everyone else sees black and white
Through our eyes colors revive
Your background is poison
In the eyes of your shadow
Mae’n sownio yn debyg i royal blood. Cân ardderchog
gwneud ffycin yn fwy.
