AfroWelsh Connection
Our music is based on the griot kora music of West Africa, brought over to the UK by our Gambian kora player Bunja Conteh. Kora is one of the traditional griot instruments, a 21 stringed instrument, the African equivalent of our harp. Bunja comes from a griot family and the tunes we play are a mixture of traditional griot tunes and some of his own compositions. Accompanied by his wife Liz Conteh on vocals and acoustic guitar, Chandra Moon on flute, Terry Payne on mandolin/violin, Marc Smith on electric double bass and Omar Sanyang our Senegalese calabash/djembe player creating a fusion of African and Welsh musicians. Our music is hypnotic and groovy with beautiful harmonies and melodies. It can be relaxing and trance-like or uplifting and dancey, something for everyone! Seilwyd ein cerddoriaeth ar gerddoriaeth griot kora Gorllewin Affrica, a dyfod draw i'r DU gan ein chwaraewr kora o Gambia, Bunja Conteh. Un o'r offerynnau griot traddodiadol yw'r kora, offeryn gyda 21 llinyn, fel cyfateb Affricanaidd o'n telyn ni. Daw Bunja o deulu griot, ac rydym yn chwarae cymysgedd o alawon griot draddodiadol, a chyfansoddiadau ei hun. Mae'n chwarae yng nghwmni ei wraig Liz Conteh, sy'n canu a chwarae'r gitâr acwstig, Chandra Moon ar y ffliwt, Terry Payne ar fandolin/feiolin, Marc Smith ar y fâs ddwbl drydanol, ac Omar Sanyang, ein chwaraewr calabash/djembe o Senegal, yn creu ymasiad o gerddorion Affricanaidd a Chymraeg. Mae ein cerddoriaeth yn hypnotig a grwfi gyda harmonïau ac alawon prydferth. Gall fod yn ymlaciol a breuddwydiol, neu ddyrchafol ac egnïol. Rhywbeth i bawb!

Broadoak
Broadoak is a Pembrokshire based folk trio, Wendy Lewis, Peter and Chris Kay, all experienced musicians with backgrounds and interests in many sorts of music from Gamelan to Rock. Chris sings and plays piano, and whistle. Wendy plays fiddle and sings. Peter plays fretted instruments and sings. The band play both traditional and contemporary folk, as well as creating their own new work in a folk tradition. It’s hard to pin down their ‘sound’ in a single word: maybe ‘eclectic’ comes closest, and of course they always aim for ‘entertaining’. Triawd o Sir Benfro mae Broadoak; Wendy Lewis, Peter a Chris Kay, cerddorion profiadol gyda chefndiroedd a diddordebau mewn amrywiaeth o gerddoriaeth, o Gamelan i Roc. Mae Chris yn canu a chwarae'r piano a'r chwiban. Mae Wendy yn chwarae'r ffidil a chanu. Mae Peter yn chwarae offerynnau gyda ffretiau, a chanu. Mae'r band yn chwarae gwerin draddodiadol a gyfoes, yn ogystal â chreu gweithiau newydd yn y traddodiad gwerin. Mae'n anodd nodi eu 'sain' mewn un gair: efallai daw 'eclectig' yn agosaf, ac wrth gwrs maent wastad yn ceisio am 'ddifyrrus'.

Deuair is Elsa Davies and Ceri Owen-Jones: fiddle, harp + two voices. Deuair (pron. day-ire) is literally ‘two words’, an old Welsh poetic form and measure. They have been playing as a duo since 2012, learning tunes from fellow musicians and old manuscripts, for listening and dancing. Their intent is to play and interpret rare historical material from their own research and, in their own way, try to bring to life a lost sound world of Welsh traditional music for people today.

Maent wedi bod yn chwarae fel deuawd ers 2012, gan ddysgu alawon gan gyd-gerddorion a hen lawysgrifau, ar gyfer gwrando a dawnsio. Eu bwriad yw chwarae a dehongli deunydd hanesyddol prin o’u hymchwil eu hunain ac, yn eu ffordd eu hunain, ceisio dod â cherddoriaeth draddodiadol Gymreig yn fyw i bobl heddiw.
