can y ceithwyr / modd elca
i learnt a version of this first tune from ceri rhys matthews of pencader and later stole the dots of a variant from meredydd evans. the second tune was written by the beautifully creative fiddle player, elsa davies of cei newydd, west wales.
dysgodd ceri rhys matthews (pencader) yr alaw cyntaf i fi. wedyn, dwgais y 'dots' o fersiwn arall meredydd evans. cafodd yr ail alaw ei chyfansoddi gan elsa davies, y ffidlwres prydferth a chreadigol o gei newydd, gorllewin cymru.
