Strange that the Welsh settlers went to Patagonia to found a Welsh speaking colony and yet some of the place names are Anglicised such as Dolavon and Trevelin?? Why was the letter "f" substituted with the Anglicised "v" in Patagonia of all places? At least we have reversed the Anglicisation of our place names in Wales and Caernarvon is now Caernarfon doing away with the "v". Plus all the other place names that we have changed back to Welsh. Liked the photos, would really love to go there.

Beautiful video. I am Welsh living in Australia, it's lovely to see the positive impact Welsh men and women have had on the world. I'll definately put Argentina on my to do list now.

Diolch yn fawr :)

Hi, the song is called Suo Gan. It's a very old Welsh lullaby, so old in fact that no one knows who wrote it. This version of the song was recorded for a cd which accompanied the book Rocky Trip (by Sergio Sepiurka + Jorge Miglioli). However, another famous version of this song appears in the film Empire Of The Sun starring Christian Bale as a child actor. Hope this is useful :-)

thanks
