The harp music on the audio is one of John Robert's pieces, played by Welsh harpist, Robin Huw Bowen. John Roberts is also known as The Royal Harper. Eldra learned to play the harp through 6 generations of harpists, descendants of the first Romany Abram Woods and the Robert's family when they intermarried. The fusion of Welsh harp and gypsy music not only made a new and beautiful music tradition, but kept the harp tradition alive in Wales.
