Gwilym Bowen Rhys Trio (Y Muni)

Gwilym Bowen Rhys has established himself as an ambassador for Welsh language song both at home in Wales and across the world, confirmed by his nomination for the Folk Singer of the Year Award in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Gwilym has been singing in his native Welsh language since he can remember, giving him a deep connection with the traditional songs and music of his native land.

Performing as a trio with Patrick Rimes on fiddle (Calan, VRi, ALAW) and Gwen Mairi on harp, Gwilym’s songs are presented in an intimate, carefully balanced setting. The arrangements are restrained and attentive, but also powerful and energetic, drawing from the rich Welsh folk tradition whilst remaining contemporary.

With support from Elin a Carys:

Elin and Carys are sisters and their close, ethereal harmonies and arrangements of folk songs and original songs draw on their musical upbringing and the landscapes of Mid Wales. Elin and Carys weave guitar, piano, banjo, fiddle, accordion, and whistles into their performances and they have just released their first EP called ‘Hela’r dryw,’ with Sain records.

Cymraeg:

Mae Gwilym Bowen Rhys wedi sefydlu ei hun fel llysgennad teilwng dros y Gymraeg a chanu, gartref yng Nghymru ac ar draws y byd hefyd. Cafodd hyn ei gadarnhau gan ei enwebiad ar gyfer Gwobr Canwr Gwerin y Flwyddyn yng Ngwobrau Gwerin BBC Radio 2. Mae Gwilym wedi bod yn canu yn Gymraeg ers iddo allu cofio, sy’n rhoi iddo fo gysylltiad dwfn gyda chaneuon a cherddoriaeth traddodiadol.

Perfformio fel triawd, gyda Patrick Rimes ar ffidil (Calan, VRi, ALAW) a Gwen Mairi ar delyn, mae caneuon Gwilym yn cael eu cyflwyno mewn trefniadau agos-atoch ac ystyriol, ond hefyd yn bwerus ac yn egniol, gan dynnu o’r traddodiad cyfoethog gwerin Cymru tra’n aros yn hollol gyfoes.

Cefnogaeth gan Elin a Carys:

Mae Elin a Carys yn chwiorydd a’u harmonïau agos a threfniadau o ganeuon gwerin a chaneuon gwreiddiol yn tynnu ar eu magwraeth gerddorol a thirweddau Canolbarth Cymru. Mae Elin a Carys yn plethu gitâr, piano, banjo, ffidil, acordion a chwibanau i’w perfformiadau, ac maen nhw newydd rhyddhau eu EP cyntaf o’r enw ‘Hela’r dryw’ gyda Recordiadau Sain.
