Sept 4. Tickets to the concert, which is sponsored by the Utah Welsh Society, are $10 and are available from Welsh Society members or by calling Margaret Jones at 936-115- 9, Straight from the heart of Wales and Welsh tradition, the choir (known as Cor Meibion Llanelli in Welsh) is the product cf a culture that reveres choral music. Nary a town in Wales has been without its own male choir to perform at public events and bring the town pride by performing well at regional and national eisteddfodau, popular music and poetry competitions. Founded in 1964 in the village of Bynea as the Cwmfelin Male Choir, the group is now based in the regional center of Llanelli, a choir-an- d rugby-lovin- g town on the Bristol Channel on Wales' southern coast. The choir has been successful at all of Wales' major choral competitions, including winning the Welsh Nations! Eisteddfod five times and taking top honors at regional eisteddfodau an amazing 16 times. In addition, the choir has played such august venuej a the Royal Albert Hall and Festival Hall in London, the National Concert Hall in Dublin and venues throughout Britain. Ireland, Germany, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. They also have made numerous television appearances and have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity. The choir's repertoire blends modem music with traditional favorites and includes songs that the Welsh ancestors of many Utah residents might have recognized. Utahs Welsh heritage is a strong one, dating back to the arrival of its earliest pioneer settlers, thousands of whom were Welsh. These industrious settlers brought their distinctive culture with them, remains of which can still be seen in the Welsh-styl-e stone houses lining the roads of towns like Willard in Bos Elder County. But one of the greatest aspects of Welsh culture is its music, from the stirring national anthem, "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau Korean War 50th Anniversary Celebration A Korean War 50th Anniversary Celebration will be held on Aug. 25 at Evanston, WY.

With humble beginnings, Baaba Maal was educated in music from the day he was bom on the banks of the Senegalese River. However, having studied music in St. Louis, Paris and through his own extensive travels around West Africa, Maal has developed a sound that embodies a sophisticated knowledge of West Africa's native traditions, him earning respect international . touches of so many outside influences without ever selling his traditional sound short have set him apart. Baaba Maal's syncopated webs of drams and vocals in the Fulani musical tradition combined with the influences of R&B, funk, reggae and jazz make for a truly enriching musical experience and a show not to be missed.
