"Danse tant que tu peux danser, danse autour de la terre,
Libre comme un poisson dans l'eau, comme un oiseau dans l'air,
Léger comme le vent qui danse dans les arbres
Ou le mât d'un bateau qui danse sous la vague.

Danse tant que tu peux danser sur les pavés, sur l'herbe,
Sur une table de bistrot, à l'ombre des tavernes.
Viens, laisse-toi porter par toutes les musiques
Qui sortent d'un piano ou d'un vieux tourne-disque.

Danse tant que tu peux danser, danse autour de la terre,
Danse dans les bras de Margot ou Julie de Nanterre,
Danse pour retrouver l'amour et la folie,
Danse pour éblouir ton âme qui s'ennuie.

Danse tant que tu peux danser, danse autour de la terre,
Pour ne plus porter sur ton dos la mort et la misère
Et tu verras jaillir les sources souterraines,
Et les torrents de joie qui coulent dans tes veines.

Danse tant que tu peux danser, danse autour de la terre,
Danse pour qu'un printemps nouveau balaye les hivers.
Danse comme l'on vit, danse comme l'on aime,
Danse comme on écrit sur les murs un poème.

Danse tant que tu peux danser, danse autour de la terre,
Danse tant que tu peux danser. Viens, le bal est ouvert !
Danse tant que tu peux danser, danse autour de la terre,
Danse tant que tu peux danser. Viens, le bal est ouvert !"

Hypnotic waltz (For two + guitars)

I use sound as a way to express my healing process, accept reality, and find beauty in life's unpredictability. In its raw and unfiltered form, sound serves as a powerful medium for conveying the complex emotions I experience while navigating life's chaos and uncertainty. By embracing disharmony and unexpected shifts in my music, I am not only accepting reality as it is, but also transforming it into something meaningful and intimate for me. This creates a space where vulnerability and acceptance coexist, allowing me to find love and beauty in the imperfect and even the disturbing.

Homecoming

Adam Walton ‘Afal’ single release
Friday 26th September 2025
Whipcord Records

‘Afal’ is a brand new recording from north Wales songwriter Adam Walton.

‘Afal’ embraces the melancholy and colours of Autumn. It’s a flashback to annual late September foraging behind The Sportsmans Arms on the Denbigh Moors (Mynydd Hiraethog) when I was a teenager, lying on our backs and falling into the sky.

I broke down up there once, in the late 90’s or early 00’s, on the way to a Gruff Rhys gig. No signal on my clamshell mobile phone. I walked to the only habitation I could see… an isolated cottage defying the heather, to call the AA as night fell hard.

The skies up there are bigger and darker than most places, and while I waited for the AA van to arrive, orbs of light span and wheeled above me… eerie and beautiful.

I’ve never know what they were. 

This single has no connection to my previous album of the same name.

‘Afal’ is the Welsh word for ‘apple’. I munched through 12 of them recording the rhythm track. A doff of the cap to McCartney’s contribution to The Beach Boys’ ‘Vegetables’. I haven’t been able to eat another apple since.

‘Afal’ is on my new album ‘Burmo’ which I’m releasing on the 14th November on Whipcord Records.

‘The Silent Strings’ isn’t on the album. It’s a standalone b-side because I love standalone b-sides.

‘Afal’ - written, played and recorded by Adam Walton (published by Copyright Control).

J'en avale une cuillère
Et le reste, je l'étale
Sur la poitrine, là où ça bat
Plus fort quand je pars »

voilà du sel pour le petit ;
L'eau de la mer,
voilà du sel pour ses lèvres ;
L'eau de la mer
Est  pleine d'écume. »

Hamza El Din & Kronos Quartet - Escalay (The Water Wheel) - Konstantin Sibold Edit

"I used to dream of a world in which composers, performers and producers could make music without being constrained by the bottlenecks of genre and market forces. French guitarist Titi Robin has made an album as if tht fantasy were true ... the result is rich and moving, a tale with the depth of a novel and the narrative drive of a folk legend."
John L. Walters THE GUARDIAN 2009 (about KALI SULTANA)

" I do think he is one of the world's great musicians and visionaries."
Charlie Gillet, BBC-London, 2009

"One of the most interesting French gypsy guitarists today"
Los Angeles Philharmonic / Hollywood Bowl

" "Gitans" was not only ranked as one of the best albums of the year by critics around the world, but it is widely considered one of the best albums of Gypsy music ever recorded."
Dan Rosenberg, The Gypsy Road

"Titi Robin is probably one of the best known French composer / musician in the crossover world music style."
Eelco Schider, Folkworld
