Wales has long suffered - and continues to suffer - under colonial control, but it was the language that endured one of the most devastating assaults. During the Treachery of the Blue Books, Welsh children were physically punished for speaking their mother tongue - an era whose reverberations are still felt today.\n\nLlef Hir is a fiery ballad of rage and mourning. It ruminates on the deep wound carried by the Welsh nation. It is why Welsh entered a prolonged decline - and why the artwork for Llef Hir is bathed in blue. The colour serves both as an act of remembrance and an emblem of defiance: a tribute to our ancient Celtic ancestors, who once painted themselves in woad blue before battle. https://tinyurl.com/89cbmukw", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
