Medley of Welsh Folk Songs | DnA Folk | TEDxSwansea

Delyth (Harp) and Angharad (Violin) delight the audience with a spine tingling medley of Welsh folk songs.

DnA Folk are no strangers to TEDx, having previously performed at TEDxCardiff in 2012.

Delyth and Angharad Jenkins started performing together in 2007 when the organiser of the Gower Folk Festival offered them their first gig as a duo. Despite having independent music careers, it hadn’t occurred to them that this mother and daughter combination could indeed be a very special collaboration.

Their live performances, which have been described as “visceral and intense”, demonstrates the connection between these two musicians. Music is truly in their DNA.

I have Welsh blood, my grandfather was from Cardiff, I have listened to Irish folk music and this is the first time I have heard Welsh folk music and I love it!

I'm not sure if music could be considered "talk" enough for a TED talk, but I really like it, so please, channel organizer, more like this!

These two are just lovely. This performance made me really happy. I particularly liked the second song, really beautiful.

[tefazDK]

Could someone please provide me the title of these songs? Where can i find the music sheets for these songs?

[malcolmmyatt]

Is Delyth, playing an octave violin or viola for the tune the slender boy?

[malcolmmyatt]

What are the tune names? Can I get dots?

[dimavasilev]

Just to be a stickler, that's a viola. Still a wonderful presentation but viola representation matters!
