A North Wales Carnival band led by percussionist Colin Daimond, Bloco Sŵn was founded in 2012 on the “Bloco” model of Brazilian Carnivals – a core group of drummers playing a variety of distinct carnival styles and many original compositions. The Tone Cords are a newly founded Bangor-based African and Caribbean group promoting African/Caribbean heritage across the continents. Both groups are involved in promoting the Welsh Language within creative and educational projects. This special collaboration will blend the cultures and voices of African talking drums, traditional Welsh tunes, Brazilian carnival percussion and the Yoruba-Welsh communities of Gwynedd.
