My Grandmother: 9bach and "Bwythn Fy Nain"

Our random song of the day, Bwthyn Fy Nain, takes us to Wales. Performed by the group 9bach (the name of the band is a play on numbers and the Welsh word "nain" which means grandmother in the North of Wales, and "bach" which means little and is a term of endearment. 9bach was formed in 2005 by Lisa Jen and Martin Hoyland and uses Welsh folk in the arrangement and lyrics of the songs and then approaches the instrumentation with a modern dance sensibility. Their strong roots at home and their frequent international travels have also affected the sensibility of their music. The original version of Bwthyn Fy Nain can be found on their 2009 debut album 9Bach, and a remixed version appeared on their EP Tinc (2014).
