CALAN - Kân

A patriotic song about the future of the Welsh language and culture. Sampled voice of Nigel Jenkins, poet and Angharad’s father, reading an extract of his poem, ‘The Creation.’ The full poem appears in Ambush, a collection of his poems, published by Gomer Press, 1998. The recording was made by Neil Beer. The chorus of this song is based on the style of traditional psalm chanting popular in west Wales at one time. Cân wladgarol am ddyfodol yr iaith a diwylliant Cymraeg. Samplwyd llais y bardd a thad Angharad, Nigel Jenkins, yn darllen dyfyniad o’i gerdd, The Creation. Mae’r gerdd lawn yn ymddangos yng nghasgliad o gerddi Nigel Jenkins, Ambush, a chyhoeddwyd gan Wasg Gomer yn 1998. Neil Beer wnaeth y recordiad.
