Amistat

Amistat are twin brothers who build their folk songs layer by layer. The result is a sound that sometimes echoes Ben Howard or Kodaline, yet firmly holds its own identity. The harmony between the two musicians is at the core of everything they do: close, but with room to breathe.

Rhys Lewis as support for Amistat in The Hague

Before the headline set, Rhys Lewis opens the evening. He describes his latest work as stripped-back, rooted in folk and emotionally direct. For the first time, he recorded an album without a producer and without playing the material live beforehand. No one had heard the songs before he entered the studio. That solitude became, by his own account, a deliberate production choice, and it shows.
