Barcode: 093074055229
Wales, a country as ancient as it is forward-looking, boasts a wealth of contemporary musicians who harvest the best of their past to craft an artful future. Blodeugerdd (song of flowers in the Welsh language) features a garland of intimate musical interpretations by leading keepers of Welsh music today. Each track is an act of remembering something personal and an illustration of how Welsh culture, in the words of producer Ceri Rhys Matthews, has survived by quietude and tenacity. This recording received a 2009 Independent Music Award for Best Traditional World Album. 14 tracks, 60 minutes, 44-page booklet with photos and bilingual notes.
