  • Description

    An exciting folk release from the Gwent and Glamorgan region of Wales. Yr Hwntws present a great collection of 18 songs from the area most of which are sung in the beautiful local Welsh dialect "Gwentian" which gives its title to the album.

    The group's name Yr Hwntws denotes "South Walians" and their repertoire is largely of traditional songs and music from Glamorgan and Gwent. Such is the respect of the Hwntws for linguistic authenticity that they have reproduced the now almost extinct regional dialect of many of these songs. Full background notes are included in the CD booklet.
