A piece of music may only be readily understood and enjoyed by a few people, but that does not mean it is not good music. The truth is, however, that his music provokes valid questions about the place of contemporary music in our society. I would go so far as to say that if you are unmoved by listening to his extraordinarily catchy Adiemus then probably music is not for you. As a Welshman he is also drawn to this part of the world by the historical curiosity of there being a Welsh-speaking settlement in Patagonia, Argentina. Solid and rhythmic, this march calls to mind all the passion and excitement of the colour red. Jenkins Pictures See more Jenkins Pictures.

If you had to compose it again, what would you change? See more Jenkins Pictures.

We defy you not to dance to this cheeky samba, kagl by the colour pink. It is music that sets out to provoke an immediate and physical response.
