Bringing together the music of Wales and the Khasi Hills in North East India, 'Sai-thaiñ ki Sur (the weaving of voices in Khasi) is a unique cross-cultural collaboration. Welsh songwriter Gareth Bonello (The Gentle Good, 10,000 monthly listeners on Spotify) has recorded with artists from the indigenous Khasi community, capturing music from the 1841 - 1969 Welsh settlement in the Khasi and Jaiñtia Hills of India. This three-year album project explores the folk songs, poetry, missionary hymns, folklore, and resultant culture of the crossing of Wales and India.
