Welsh Language Music Day was in February and honours the vibrant spectrum of Welsh music. But it's not just this day you can celebrate Welsh music! From indie and rock to folk and hip hop, there's a wealth of Welsh language music to explore.
Wales boasts a rich musical heritage, from the national anthem at rugby matches to popular Spotify playlists. On November 27th, 2024, the Council, as part of the Shared Prosperity Fund, invited Primary School Council Members to create an anthem for Blaenau Gwent. With the guidance of talented musician Mei Gwynedd, the children crafted the anthem's lyrics, capturing the essence of their community.
On January 31st, the children returned for a grand council session to film a unique music video. They performed with enthusiasm, enjoying their moment as pop stars. The day included a joyful rendition of "Sosban Fach," sung with booming voices and bright smiles.
This anthem will be a lasting legacy for schools, celebrating our children and community. It offers a creative outlet and a tradition to pass down to future generations. While honouring our rich history, we look forward to an exciting future.
