The Welsh Triple Harp in Three Tracks
Kathryn Tickell presents three tracks showcasing Wales’ national instrument, handpicked by fiddle player and composer, Angharad Jenkins.
Kathryn Tickell celebrates St. David’s Day with a selection of three tracks showcasing Wales’ national instrument, the triple harp - or 'telyn deires' - handpicked by fiddle player and composer, Angharad Jenkins. Since its arrival in the British Isles in the Seventeenth Century, the triple harp has been adopted and nurtured as a Welsh instrument and today represents an unbroken folk tradition going back over three hundred years.
Elsewhere in the show, Kurdish folk music written and recorded by Mohammad Mostafa Heydarian, a young tanbur player from western Iran, and a track from an upcoming album of acoustic songs from Malian songwriter, Salif Keita.
