Tarantella del Gargano

I first saw Owain Phyfe at the Twig Renaissance Faire. I am the court photographer, and was assigned to photograph various performances. I had never heard of him before and as I began to video his first performance I knew immediately I was in the presence of an artist of rare quality. He is American with a Welsh heritage, and therefore speaks English and Welsh fluently. He spent a lot of time in Mexico and South America and I believe he knows Spanish pretty well. He also sings in archaic languages, Italian and an old form of German. It is hard for someone who is not a native to know how well he sings in all those different languages, but I can tell you that I would eagerly listen to him babble meaningless phrases just to hear him sing. He says he is a “singer of songs.“ It sounds modest but I think it understates his ability. I hope you will enjoy all his videos, which you can see on my YouTube channel.
