Thread Name: The folk tradition in Wales
Subject: RE: The folk tradition in Wales
hi siân.. the wife thanks you..

apparently she has an 'aunty-in-law'[?] from N.Wales [she's never met],
who went out to Patagonia years ago as a Welsh speaking religious missionary..



the only direct reference to music I could find is this..


"1970's: A revival of some industry in Trelew, but a difficult period for the Eisteddfod and there is a further decline in the Welsh-speaking population. The dictatorial governments in Buenos Aires weren't prepared to back any teaching of the Welsh language. A glimmer of hope comes from the setting up of the Chubut School of Music, which provides more contributors to the eisteddfodau."
