Y Morgen by Mari Mathias

*New single release | Sengl Newydd* 'Y Morgen'

Sengl newydd* 'Y Morgen' gan Mari Mathias , sef cân gwreiddiol wedi'i chanu yn ei hiaith enedigol, sef y Gymraeg, gyda'i band sy'n archwilio arfordir Cymru a llên gwerin Y Morgen, sy'n golygu “geni yn y môr” a chreadur y môr mewn mytholegau Cymraeg a Cheltaidd-Cymraeg. Mae’r gân yn plethu themâu benyweidd-dra ynghyd, gan adennill straeon a llên gwerin ei mamwlad yng ngorllewin Cymru, a gwlad ei chyndeidiau Celtaidd ym Mynyddoedd y Preseli a thu hwnt - Ei nod yw cysylltu â’i chefndryd Celtaidd ar draws ynysoedd Prydain a’r gwledydd Celtaidd i ddathlu llinach, straeon a thraddodiadau Cymreig.

Mae ‘Y Morgen’ yn myfyrio ar ein cysylltiad coll â’r môr a’i greaduriaid, traddodiadau hynafol Cymru, a’r angen i ailgysylltu â’r ddaear, dŵr a straeon hynafol Celtaidd Cymru.

Recordiwyd y trac yn Stiwdio Owz, Sir Benfro – o fewn hen eglwys wedi’i hadnewyddu’n stiwdio gydag Owain Jenkins yn peiriannu a chymysgu’r gân a’r albwm ‘KYFARWYDD’, sy’n golygu ‘cyfarwydd’ yn yr oes fodern CYMRAEG & hefyd “The storyteller / spell maker’ in ancient ‘hen ogled’ cymraeg.Bydd yr albwm yn cael ei rhyddhau yn llawn yn y gwanwyn ar ôl i Mari rannu cyfres o senglau sy’n arwain at ryddhau Vinyl a Dig.

'Y Morgen' is An original song by Mari , sang in her native tongue of Cymraeg , with her band that explores the coast of Wales and the folklore of the Y Morgen, meaning “sea born” & creature of the sea in Cymraeg & Celtic-Cymraeg mythologies. The song weaves together themes of femininity, reclaiming the stories and folklore of her homeland in west Wales, and the land of her Celtic ancestors in the Preseli Hills and beyond - Her aim is to connect to her Celtic cousins across the British isles and Celtic nations to celebrate welsh ancestry, stories & traditions.

'Y Morgen' reflects on our lost connection with the sea and its creatures, ancient traditions in Cymru, and the need to reconnect with the earth, water and ancient celtic stories.

The track was recorded at Studio Owz, Pembrokeshire - within an old church renovated into a studio with Owain Jenkins engineering and mixing the song and the album 'KYFARWYDD', meaning ‘familiar’ in modern-day CYMRAEG & also “The storyteller / spell maker’ in ancient ‘hen ogled’ cymraeg. The album will be released in full in the spring after Mari shares a series of singles leading up to the release on Vinyl and Disc.

Mari Mathias takes us into the musical caverns of Annwn - The lyrical Preseli artist and fellow band members conjuring ceremony and ritual from the Celtic twilight for a passion play about this very region. Poetry, field recordings, even family archives on cassette find their way into the position; Mathias’ compositions are steeped in Bluestone Roots.
