Kan an Tewyn

Kan an Tewyn is a Cornish language song written by Minko which won the Cornish songwriting competition Kan Rag Kernow in 2020 and was selected to represent Cornwall at the Pan Celtic International Song Contest. Sadly due to Covid the festival was cancelled so in 2024 Minko teamed up with Cornish filmmaker Brett Harvey to create a short piece of film with the music as soundtrack. The song and film depict the experience of being completely alone in the expansive dunes, carrying grief, whilst feeling strangely held and comforted by the landscape.. Every grain of sand, a seed of hope.
