  • Description

    Master of the Welsh Triple Harp releases new album. Since 1983 Robin Huw Bowen has introduced the Welsh Triple Harp and its music to thousands all over the world. As the only full-time professional Welsh harpist specializing solely in the Welsh Triple Harp his influence on the world of Welsh folk music and harping has been far-reaching. He undoubtedly ranks amongst the most important figures that the Welsh folk tradition has produced. His new album title, "Iaith Enaid" - which translates to language of the soul, comes form the old saying "iaith enaid ar ei thannau" which translated means the langugae of the soul on the harp strings and has become a moto for those who have been protecting and promoting the triple harp in Wales over the centuries. This new album has a mix of old and new tunes, some composed by himself and other tunes are arrangements of Welsh traditional tunes specifically for the triple harp. Robin also has a great interest in the music of the Welsh gypsy harpists, and the track "New Gypsy Hornpiipes" is in keeping with the unique style of those harpists, the Roberts and Wood families.
