Welsh choral music with Hip Hop beats

Traditional welsh music is blended with beat-boxing and emceeing by the urban choir, Hard CÔr. The group, founded by Jason Camilleri, pride themselves on being unique and offer an alternative sound to welsh choral music.

The group mashes up welsh music with fresh urban sounds, giving the choir a refreshing and youthful edge. The modern interpretation attracts musicians of many ages and differing social backgrounds.

Mini Hard CÔr was set up earlier in the year to accommodate the large number of young talented singers inspired by the music. “It certainly does inspire youngsters. It is modern and the kids enjoy it,” said Dawn Sheldon, singer for Hard CÔr.
