----------------------------
Triawd cajun acwstig wedi'i leoli yng ngogledd orllewin Cymru.
Mae Pon 'Bro yn pwmpio dau gam a waltsiau Louisiana Cajun traddodiadol, ynghyd â rhai felan Cajun ac alawon Creole hen amser.
Y caneuon
Yn Ffrangeg yn bennaf, mae'r caneuon yn sôn am ddigwyddiadau bywyd y gallwn ni i gyd gysylltu â nhw: cariad a thorcalon; amseroedd da, cerddoriaeth, dawnsio a meddwdod ar ôl wythnos o waith caled; ac, ie, y ffarwel olaf. Peidiwch â chael eich twyllo gan arlliwiau siriol y gerddoriaeth - mae'r geiriau'n aml yn dweud stori wahanol!
Tri aelod y band
Mae Frances ar yr acordion, Nick ar y ffidil ac Owen ar y gitâr wedi bod yn chwarae gyda'i gilydd mewn fformatau amrywiol ers dros 20 mlynedd gan gynnwys fel 'Tite Fille & the Acadians, Zarico, a gyda Cajuns Denbo,
Mae eu cefndiroedd cerddorol yn cwmpasu blues, gwerin, jazz a Lladin. Mae dylanwadau Cajun y band yn cynnwys y Balfas, Canray Fontenot, Octa Clarke a Sheryl Cormier.
Cajun a Chymraeg
Wedi'i leoli yng Ngwynedd, cadarnle'r iaith Gymraeg, mae Pon' Bro wedi ailysgrifennu rhai penillion yn Gymraeg. Mae gan Cajun Ffrangeg a Chymraeg debygrwydd hanesyddol syfrdanol; tra bod plant Cymreig yn cael eu cosbi yn yr ysgol am siarad Cymraeg mewn ymgais i wneud Saesneg yn brif iaith, cosbwyd plant ysgol Cajun yn Louisiana yn yr un modd am siarad Ffrangeg. Mae cerddoriaeth a chân wedi chwarae rhan bwysig wrth ddiogelu ieithoedd a hunaniaeth y ddau ddiwylliant hyn.
Mae cerddoriaeth Cajun ar gyfer dawnsio
Mae croeso i chi wneud eich peth eich hun! neu os ydych chi am fwynhau'r gerddoriaeth gyda phartner, bydd Frances yn hapus i'ch cyflwyno i gamau syml y waltz 2-gam neu Cajun.

Who?
An acoustic cajun trio based in north west Wales. Pon' Bro pump out traditional Louisiana Cajun two-steps and waltzes, along with some Cajun blues and old-time Creole tunes.
The songs
Mostly in French, the songs tell of life events that we can all connect with: love and heart-break; good times, music, dancing and drunkenness after a week of hard work; and, yes, the final farewell. Don't be fooled by the cheery tones of the music - the words often tell a different story!
The three band members
Frances on accordion, Nick on fiddle and Owen on guitar have been playing together in various formats for over 20 years including as 'Tite Fille & the Acadians, Zarico, and with Cajuns Denbo,
Their musical backgrounds encompass blues, folk, jazz and latin. The band's Cajun influences include the Balfas, Canray Fontenot, Octa Clarke and Sheryl Cormier.
Cajun & Welsh
Based in Gwynedd, the heartland of the Welsh language, Pon' Bro have rewritten some verses in Welsh. Cajun French and Welsh have surprising historical parallels; while Welsh children were punished at school for speaking Welsh in an attempt to make English the dominant language, Cajun school children in Louisiana were similarly punished for speaking French. Music and song have played an important role in safeguarding both these cultures' languages and identity.
Cajun music is for dancing
Feel free to do your own thing! or if you want to enjoy the music with a partner, Frances will be happy to introduce you to the simple steps of the 2-step or Cajun waltz.
