My great grandma is from Wales and when I was a kid she would sing me an old folk lullaby called Dinogads Smock. She's 92 but she's still as mentally sharp as a 20 year old, and Everytime I see her she tells me stories her great grandma told her about when she was a little girl in the 1850s
The modern town of Rhyl lies on the old Morfa (Marshland of) Rhuddlan. The battles took place somewhere in southeast Rhyl. Much of the marsh was drained between 17th-19th century and much of the water is locked up in the former quarry now known as Brickfield pond, near Sainsburys.
While this song is certainly a Welsh folk song, and I love it, it is certainly not Morfa Rhuddlan, which is a song I also love, but very different. I've heard this song before, but simply called, "Y Twmpath" literally meaning "The Hill". I think it is referring to a Twmpath, a sort of village green used for festivals. I'm not sure if the song has another name, but I suspect it does.
Da iawn Arany :-) mae'n bendigedig iawn. Wnes i chwarae Morfa Rhuddlan o'r blaen pan ron'in chwarae mewn sesiwn gwerin cyn bo hir. I used to play that tune Morfa Rhuddlan when I played in a folk session before 5 years ago. Bendigedig. Szervusz Wales
hi there great music love the sound and video it brings the music alive fantastic,, I am a tradditonal folk singer who writes about my home town of Sunderland in The East of England and my live and times in general, I also sing in my local accent Makem, I have been named the Makem Folk Singer because of my accent, please do drop in and have a listen true folk music from Sunderland Tyne and Wear, cheers Dave
Really amazing! I love it. I DO wish Arany Zoltán will come to Japan as a the missionary to convert us, Japanese tribes, from fake music lovers to real ones...
Nice. However, I have an old music book with the song Morfa Ruddlan where there was a great slaughter of warriors and crows who picked their bodies. It was somewhat more downbeat than this, but there we have it!
@phr4nk3rd00d13 sometimes ppl use "erm" cos its a bit complex :( - :D not attacking you - just a vocab filler . Nadolig Llawen i chi - merry christmas to you

We are all Celtic but different branch Scotland🏴 ,ireland🇮🇪 and isle of man 🇮🇲 are celtic Gaelic Wales🏴, cornwall 〓〓 , brittanny 🇫🇷(celtic french settlement) are all Celtic brythonic.
+Bexy Evans Long story, but I'll try to make it short. First, you're close but a little to the north: the writing is Hungarian, as is the performer, Arany Zoltan. The Hungarians have a link to Wales, in that one of their favourite national poems is called A Walesi Bardok, the Bards of Wales. It was about the Welsh bards' refusal to write poems in honour of their conqueror, King Edward I of England in 1282. The tale was a metaphor for how the bards of Hungary felt about the Austrian emperor Franz Joseph in the mid-1800s; they also did not want to sing the praises of their overlord. But it was safer to tell the tale of a long-ago foreign protest than to criticize Franz Joseph directly.
+Evan Owen Interesting. This reminds me of what is often regarded as Robert Burns' clandestine expression of support for the ideals of the then contemporary French Revolution, ideals which others had recently attempted to realise in Britain, in 'Scots Wha Hae', also known as 'Bruce's Address'. The difference being of course that 'Scots Wha Hae' expresses sympathy with the ideals of those struggling against tyranny in a foreign land (as the author saw it) while masquerading as merely a patriotic celebration of a well-known episode in the history of the author's country, so in some ways it's the inverse of Arany Janos' poem, but there are still parallels I think.

That's remarkable - a living link with the 19th century. We need to cherish the memories of the elderly, for historical as much as personal reasons.
Wow! That is awesome! So interesting how that was passed down from when it was written 1400 years ago. Iechyd Da!
That's extraodinary. Thank you for sharing that with the wider Welsh community.
May I ask, is she still alive? You could record her singing that. That's real ethnography right here.
ua-cam.com/video/ZBl7ZFI-QP8/v-deo.html listen this,please. It is so beautiful.
God bless Wales. Love from California!
You know its a good song when the whole thing is most replayed

Its soo wonderful! I could listen this music every morning when i open my eyes. Greetings from Bulgaria! :)
Us Welshmen have so much in common with the Irish in terms of music.

I'm not sure if the song has another name, but I suspect it does.
I think the song´s name is "oceans apart" isn´t ?
Aermachrael
I think you mean Y Twmpath meaning "the mound". The hill would be "Y Bryn"
That's great!Greetings from Mainland,the Republic of China!
I thought UA-cam was blocked in China.
Greeks and Celts, we are brothers!!! Greetings form Greece!
Yes, I can hear hints of a Greek music vibe in this piece.
Lovely music indeed. It's especially pleasant to recognize some of the places as wel.

Is Arany Zoltán related to Arany Janos, who wrote A Walesi Bardok (The Bards of Wales)?
Evan Owen Unfortunately no, but my father has the same name.
+Evan Owen Magyar vagyok! :D I'm Hungarian! :D And Arany János was Hungarian too!
Where can i find the guitar chords? Thanks!
Cymru Am Byth
Wales must be independent from England.
Y Twmpath is the tune! not morfa rhuddlan
+3tangle3 Then John Good made the same mistake. (watch?v=ikGp9Cxb6AM)
hey... Where i can find the chords of that?
It might by another for it. This tune is old though
@@lemonaurhywiol9831 2 names for the same tune! We'd have at least a dozen in Ireland.
Really amazing! I love it. I DO wish Arany Zoltán will come to Japan as a the missionary to convert us, Japanese tribes, from fake music lovers to real ones...

London National Party Yes it is Welsh, all of us Celts have similar music due to our connections :)
That Welsh Gamer for real :) love being Welsh
Transam I live in Wales

I've just realized why the brits' theme in AoE2 sounds so not english lol. Their elite archers always came from Wales.
@iamearthbornami
Eich bod yn croesawu! ;)
Os ydy Cymry yn hoffi Bela Bartok neu Zoltan Kodaly, yna does dim syndod bod Magyar yn hoffi cerddoriaeth Cymreig!
@legolasisthebest I like Carreg Lafar (some videos on youtube)
you need more pictures of the actual morfa - marsh/ saltmarsh at rhuddlan....but I suppose a lot of it has been drained :(
Huge difference between this music and scot"s music. That's not the same people...
We are all Celtic but different branch
Scotland🏴 ,ireland🇮🇪 and isle of man 🇮🇲 are celtic Gaelic
Wales🏴, cornwall 〓〓 , brittanny 🇫🇷(celtic french settlement) are all Celtic brythonic.

Why is there Polish writing at the end?
