As with her debut record, 'Le Kov' is a bold ': ,: statement on the importance of protecting minority languages & :, : has come about with long term collaborator Rhys Edwards. : :' ': ,: Where 'Y Dydd Olaf' had nine songs in Welsh, the last track :, : 'Amser' was in Cornish and this is where Gwenno continues her : :' trailblazing mission. 'Le Kov' translates as "the place of ': ,: memory" and the album is written entirely in Cornish. :, : : :' Le Kov is an exploration of the individual and collective ': ,: subconscious, the myths and drolls of Cornwall, and the survival :, : of Britain's lesser known Brythonic language. As one of the : :' language's few fluent speakers, Gwenno felt a duty to make her ': ,: second album in Cornish: to create a document of a living :, : language, explore her identity and the endless creative : :' possibilities of a tongue that has a very small surviving ': ,: artistic output, despite having been around for at least 15 :, : centuries. : :' ': ,: She dove deep into research, learning about attempts to protect :, : and progress the language and the role of women throughout : :' Cornish history. When Gwenno considered the legends of sunken ': ,: Brythonic cities Cantre'r Gwaelod, KΩr-Is, Langarrow and :, : Lyonesse, she knew she had her starting point. These cities : :' evoked her idea of language as its own form of psychological ': ,: territory, a concept perfectly distilled by the album's title, :, : Le Kov û the place of memory. : :' ': ,: Over the course of making Le Kov, Gwenno reconciled her anxiety :, : over her right to make a Cornish-language pop record, and : :' realised that, in the age of Brexit, isolationism and hostility ': ,: towards the rich cultures that make modern Britain, it had a :, : wider resonance, too. "This album is a combination of accepting : :' the culture which your parents have valued enough to want to ': ,: pass on to you, regardless how small, and utilising it in a :, : positive way to try and make sense of the world around you, it's : :' also about having to accept and respect the nuances that make ': ,: us all different and discovering that all of our stories share :, : the same truth." : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 8 \/
