Eartha Kitt singing in Welsh
"Legendary American songstress Eartha Kitt spoke four languages - and famously sang in seven. But did you know she also once lent that distinctive voice of hers to the Welsh language?"

Maralene a Gareth
"Back in the 1970s when Wales were still good at rugby the mercurial figure of Gareth Edwards reigned supreme. He was a jinking, side-stepping, demi-god – his sporting prowess matched only by the luxuriance of his sideburns. To capitalise on his folk-hero status it was decided that he should release a record. In 1972 he teamed up with promising young folk singer Maralene Powell from Pantydwy, near Rhayader, to do exactly that."

Elin Fflur - Hafana
"Hafana, her new album, springs from the same combination of rock attitude and folk melody, the lure of the wide world and the inescapable draw of home. ‘The title's a play on words’ explains Elin. ‘I'm fascinated by Havana, the place – but in Welsh, it also means a place to escape to, a haven. Many of my lyrics are about escaping from things – even escaping from reality, especially the realities that hit you when you leave home and go out into the world by yourself.’"http://www.myspace.com/elinfflur

Deffrwch Cymry cysgld gwlad y gan
Dwfn yw’r gwendid
Bychan yw y fflam
Creulon yw’r cynhaeaf
Ond per yw’r don
‘Da’ alaw’r alarch unig
yn fy mron
Everyday when I wake up
I thank the lord I’m Welsh
