It is wonderful but I wish they didn't have singing and speaking at the same time. I want to hear both and with them together I hear neither very well.
I was raised to speak Welsh by my Grandparents. Unfortunately, my parents did not speak a word, apart from my mammy, but she had lost it too. At 35, I need to learn it again.
@Lillianux: You can do it! There is a really excellent free online course called Say Something In Welsh (you can find it by Googling). It genuinely works, both for learning Welsh from scratch (like me) or for reactivating "buried" Welsh like yours. Plus there's an active and friendly web forum attached.
the man reminds me heavily of my grandad. Slight difference being the fact that my grandad was Irish, not Welsh. Been doing some research on my dad's mum's side of the family and there is a possibility that we have a wlesh strain, but it's far more likely that on that side we're either scottish or most likely even more irish
Born and raised here in Canada, it's always been a bit of a struggle to maintain any remnant of Welsh ancestral connexion--the focus being simply too strongly aimed at England, Ireland and France. That applies to folk music as well as anything else, somewhat surprisingly.
Whatever the case, kudos to Folkways for being brave enough to release such important material.

Some people want young white females to mix with non-white males.
I made a one-minute video highlighting a very small sample of race-mixing advertisements.
I love white people, and I am opposed to race-mixing. But I do not hate non-whites.

Thanks.

Fucking hell nationalism is seriously dumb. Your nationality is not "the best in the world". Stop making the rest of us look dumb.

first record I ever heard of Welsh music, after seeing the movies " Corn is Green"
and "How Green was my Valley". What a rich heritage.
