St David's Day Parade: Cardiff 1.3.07
Don't forget about theparade that leaves the Mochyn Du around 2:00ish on Thursday. The spineless gits down the Bay won't give a day off (despite Lord Governor Hain stating that St Patricks should be a holiday in Ireland!), but I'm taking a day's leave regardless. SUpport the parade's kind sponsors. Anyone going to join me for a pint?

Bydd Tareq Rantisi a Mohamed Najem o Fethlehem yn ymuno a Gwilym Morus a Luke Evans o Fangor.
Cymysgedd o gerddoriaeth draddodiadol o Balesteina gyda cherddoriaeth draddodiaol o Gymru - canu penillion - mewn cyd-destun cyfoes
Yn 2005, aeth Gwilym Morus, y cerddor o fri, ar daith i Fethlehem ble cyfansoddodd ddwy gan gyda cherddorion Palesteinaidd. Arweiniodd hyn at ryddhau cryno ddisg, O Fethlhehem i Fangor. Ar ol rhaglen ddogfen ar S4C ynghyd a sylw gan nifer o DJs rhyngwladol, mae'r prosiect yn ymweld a Chaerdydd gyda gig yn fyw fydd yn cynnwys caneuon wedi eu cyfansoddi ar y cyd yn ystod y flwyddyn aeth heibio.
Gwilym Morus:
"Yn gerddorol ein bwriad yw dod â deunydd traddodiadol o Balesteina a Chymru at ei gilydd mewn cyd-destun gyfoes. Bydd y perfformiad byw yn gymysgedd o offeryniaeth traddodiadol, fel y ffliwt nai Arabaidd, yr offer taro daff a darbwca, ac elfennau o ganu penillion Cymreig. Bydd y cyfeiliant yn cynnwys gitâr, banjo a synnau digidol wedi eu cynhyrchu'n fyw ar liniadur. Ar ôl y perfformiadau rydym yn teimlo buasai sesiwn fer o holi ac ateb gyda'r gynulleidfa'n fuddiol.
Rydym yn cydweithio drwy gyfnewid syniadau dros y we gan ebostio ffeiliau mp3. Mae'r cerddorion yn cynnwys dau o ardal Bethlehem ym Mhalestina a dau o ardal Bangor yng Ngwynedd. Mae'r cywaith hwn yn barhad o gynllun a gychwynwyd gyda rhyddhad CDd 4 trac yn gynharach eleni o'r enw O Fethlehem i Fangor.
Trwy hyn gobeithiwn greu perthynas diwylliannol rhwng un o wledydd mwyaf cyfforddus y byd ac un o wledydd tlotaf y byd, sy'n parhau i ddioddef yn y gwrthdaro erchyll sy'n dinistrio'r rhanbarth. Gobeithiwn y medr y berthynas hon rhywsut hyrwyddo ychydig o ddealltwriaeth, trugaredd a pharch rhwng pobloedd Orllewinol ac Arabeg."

Tareq Rantisi and Mohamed Najem from Bethlehem join Gwilym Morus and Luke Evans from Bangor.
A fusion of traditional Palestinian music with the traditional Welsh ballad form - canu penillion - in a contemporary context.
In 2005, critically acclaimed Welsh musician Gwilym Morus visited Bethlehem where he wrote two songs with Palestinian musicians resulting in the release of the CD, From Bethlehem to Bangor. After a TV arts documentary on S4C and attention from many international DJs, the project now comes to Cardiff with a live gig that includes songs co-written via email over the past year.
Gwilym Morus:
"Musically our intentions are to fuse traditional Palestinian and traditional Welsh material in a contemporary context. The live performance will be a mixture of traditional instrumentation, such as the Arabic nye flute, daff and darbuka percussion, and elements of the Welsh canu penillion ballad form. This will be accompanied by guitar, banjo and digital sound produced live with a laptop. After the performance we will hold a short twenty min. question and answer session for the audience.
The collaboration works by exchanging ideas via mp3 on e-mail. The musicians consist of two from the Bethlehem area of Palestine, and two from the Bangor area of North Wales. This collaboration is a continuation of the project that began with the release of a four track CD earlier this year called From Bethlehem to Bangor.
Through this we hope to create a cultural relationship between one of the most comfortable countries in the world, and one of the poorest countries in the world, which continues to suffer in the horrific conflict that's consuming the region. We hope that this relationship can somehow promote a little understanding, compassion and respect between Western and Arabic people."
