In school, we grow up singing – I personally remember “singing time” happening every day. And, of course, there are Eisteddfodau which literaly trasnlates as ‘Festivals’. The main one is the National Eisteddfod which is the largest competitive poetry, literature and music festival in Europe, with everything taking place in the Welsh language 3 (source: National Eisteddfod). The meaning of the title is “pure heart”, and the song’s main message is that a heart that is pure, true and honest is far more worthwhile than worldly riches and wealth. You may be familiar with that first line: “nid wy’n gofyn fywyd moethus…” (I am not asking for a comfortable life…), and indeed if you start there it is likely that the majority of the Welsh people around you will join in.

What is Welsh Music Called? CD2 Hine e hine ~ Amazine grace ~ Tribute to the USA ~ Memories of Martha ~ Creation Hymn ~ In the spirit ~ Nos a bore ~ Soon Ah will be done ~ Where shall I be?

Yes. Welsh people are musical and the country is often referred to as the “land of song” due to its strong choral tradition. Children are usually encouraged to sing and compete in Eisteddfodau (festivals featuring singing competitions, among other things) from a young age, and it is not uncommon to hear people bursting into song in the pub!
