DATGANIAD I'R WASG

2 CHWEFROR
Fel rhan o gyfres barhaus o waith datblygu gwyliau a meithrin gallu, bydd y British Council yn rhoi cymorth ariannol i ddau artist o'r DU, sef Ty a Pen Pastwn, ymweld â'r Sudan i berfformio a chydweithio ag artistiaid lleol yn Khartoum a Port Sudan yn ystod mis Chwefror. Y digwyddiad yn Port Sudan fydd y cyntaf o'i fath ers dros 30 mlynedd.
Bydd Ty hefyd yn cynnal gweithdai gydag artistiaid hip hop lleol newydd a fydd yn arwain at berfformiad a bydd Pen Pastwn yn cydweithio â'r cerddor Sidi Doshka o'r Sudan.
Grŵp o Gymru yw Pen Pastwn, a arweinir gan Richard James (cyn-aelod o Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci a Chyfarwyddwr Cerddoriaeth Gŵyl Talacharn) a ategir gan restr hyblyg o gerddorion mwyaf talentog Cymru, gan gynnwys Gareth Bonello, Andy Fung, Edward Mugford ac Eugene Capper.
Mae Ty yn rapiwr a chynhyrchydd o Lundain sydd wedi cael clod yn rhyngwladol. Fe'i henwebwyd ar gyfer Gwobr Mercury am ei albwm ‘Upwards’ ac mae wedi gweithio gyda llawer o artistiaid eraill yn y gorffennol gan gynnwys Estelle, Scratch Perverts, Talib Kweli, Black Twang, Arrested Development, a Soweto Kinch.
Dyddiadau:
Dydd Iau 2il Chwefror - Ty yn Corniche, Port Sudan

Dydd Sul 5ed Chwefror - Pen Pastwn yn Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Khartoum

Bu'r British Council yn Sudan yn datblygu rhaglen o ddigwyddiadau cerdd a gweithdai meithrin gallu ers dros ddwy flynedd. Rhoddodd y digwyddiad hwn, a ddechreuodd drwy gynnal cyfres lwyddiannus o ddigwyddiadau misol o'r enw 'Words and Pictures' (WaPi), lwyfan i dalent ifanc newydd ar gyfer hip hop, bandiau tanddaearol, y gair llafar a chelfyddydau creadigol.
Gwnaethom barhau i ddatblygu cyfres o ddigwyddiadau cerdd, gweithdai a rhaglenni hyfforddi sgiliau mewn partneriaeth â'n hasiantaethau diwylliannol eraill megis Sefydliad Diwylliannol Ffrainc, Sefydliad Goethe a'r Weinyddiaeth Diwylliant (yn y Sudan) Cynhaliwyd y cyntaf o'r digwyddiadau cerdd hyn ym mis Mawrth yn yr Amgueddfa Genedlaethol yn Khartoum pan deithiodd dau grŵp o'r DU, sef Akala a Les Triaboliques, i'r Sudan i berfformio a chynnal gweithdai.
Ym mis Hydref 2011, ymwelodd seren newydd cerddoriaeth werin Prydain Sam Lee (a Ffrindiau) â'r Sudan i berfformio yng Ngŵyl Gerddoriaeth Ryngwladol Khartoum, a oedd yn cael ei chynnal am y tro cyntaf ers 13 blynedd. Yn ogystal â pherfformio set o'i ddeunydd ei hun, bu Sam hefyd yn gweithio ar berfformiad cydweithredol gyda dau o gerddorion mwyaf talentog y Sudan, sef Omer Ihsas a Dr Alfateh Hussain.

The British Council in Sudan has been developing a programme of music events and capacity building workshops for over 2 years. Originally running a successful series of monthly events called Words and Pictures (WaPi) this event provided a platform for young emerging talent for hip hop, underground bands, spoken word and creative arts.
We continued to develop a series of music events, workshops and skills training in partnership with other cultural agencies such as French Cultural Institute, Goethe Institute and the (Sudanese) Ministry of Culture. The first of these music events took place in March 2011 at the National Museum in Khartoum, when two UK groups, Akala and Les Triaboliques, travelled out to Sudan to perform and host workshops.
In October 2011, rising star of British folk music Sam Lee (and Friends) visited Sudan to perform at the Khartoum International Music Festival, which was being staged for the first time in 13 years. As well as performing a set of his own material, Sam also worked on a collaborative performance with two of Sudan’s most talented musicians, Omer Ihsas and Dr Alfateh Hussain.
