Khasi-Cymru Collective was a project set up by Gareth Bonello, who normally records as The Gentle Good.

Which gives me an excuse to a link to a song from the album Y Bardd Anfarwol. I've mentioned this before - it's an album of traditional Chinese music, performed in Welsh, by Welsh and Chinese musicians with a mix of traditionally western and Chinese instruments.

It doesn't truly fit in with the #TheSignsTheyAreAChangin theme as it's not bilingual. But I do think it's an interesting aside, as it's in the same spirit.

This is Marwnad Chang-Kan. It's beautiful.

It's #JukeboxFridayNight, and the theme from our friends in Aotearoa is #TheSignsTheyAreAChangin.

This is because they've decided to use bilingual signs. Hurrah! In Wales, we've had bilingual signs for decades - I'm glad you could join us in this club. Nau mai! I hope that's correct.

And in celebration, I'll start with a song that's in both Cymraeg and English - and also Khasi, a language from the mountains of Meghalaya in northeast India. Three languages for the price of two! Don't say I'm not good to you.

This is Kam Pher by Khasi-Cymru Collective.

#today I'm listening to Y Bardd Anfarwol by The Gentle Good, an album I adore and have played very regularly in the decade since it came out.

It's traditional Chinese songs, performed in Welsh, through a mixture of traditionally western and Chinese instruments, by Welsh and Chinese musicians.

Which sounds odd, I know, but believe me, it is a beautifully thing.
