Cerdd Tafod Arall | Music of Another Tongue is a project led by Hanan Issa, National Poet of Wales, where she challenged herself and six poets known for their experimental use of language to learn about and use Cynghanedd in their work. Following an online crash course on cynghanedd and Welsh verse delivered by Mererid Hopwood and Eurig Salisbury, the poets composed a piece inspired by what they have learned about this ‘sophisticated system of sound patterning’.

Below you will find an album of their work, with an introduction by Hanan Issa.
