About the event

Blues Echoes
🎸 Blues Echoes 🎶
📅 19/01/2026
⏰ 7:30yh

🗣️ Digwyddiad yn yr iaith Saesneg

Mae’r ffrindiau Bill Taylor-Beales a Phil Okwedy yn ganwr-gyfansoddwr a storïwr profiadol gydag angerdd am wau caneuon a geiriau gyda’i gilydd i archwilio’r cyflwr dynol.

Mae Blues Echoes yn noson o chwedlau, hanes cymdeithasol a stori hunangofiannol wedi'u plethu â cherddoriaeth a chân o'r traddodiad Blŵs/Spirituals.
Mae'r sioe yn archwilio themâu pobl gaethweision a thlodi a phrotest dosbarth gweithiol. Mae'n cynnwys straeon am yr Americanwr Affricanaidd anorchfygol John Henry a'i ornest gyda pheiriant drilio a'r cerddor chwedlonol Paul Robeson a'i gefnogaeth i Lowyr De Cymru.

Gwrandewch ar sut roedd cerddoriaeth Blues yn dal brwydrau ac anghydraddoldebau cymdeithasau, ac yn sbarduno gwytnwch a gobaith. Mae Bill a Phil yn rhannu eu straeon personol eu hunain yn tyfu i fyny gyda cherddoriaeth wedi'i ysbrydoli gan y Blŵs, ac efallai y byddan nhw hyd yn oed yn eich cael chi'n canu ynghyd ag ychydig o eiriau blues cyfarwydd. 🎵
