Various Artists

Blodeugerdd (Smithsonian Folkways)

By David Luhrssen
 
Tucked into a far corner of Great Britain, Wales is a country with its own language and culture. The Welsh are known for singing, and plenty of voices are heard on Blodeugerdd, an anthology of Welsh music recorded at a 15th-century historical site, along with Celtic bagpipes and fiddles and gossamer sounds from the harp. The collection makes no effort at being a cross-section of contemporary sounds of Wales, but does afford a glimpse into many styles performed today that are rooted in old Celtic traditions. Perhaps the most famous performer on the disc is one-time Apple recording artist Mary Hopkin, who sings a lovely old number in Welsh.
