Celebrating a decade of Welsh Language Music Day with BBC Cymru Wales
From classic hits to brand new tracks, whether you enjoy listening to music in the car, on your smart speaker, or at the gym, you can do so with BBC Cymru Wales on Friday 7 February.
BBC Radio Cymru and BBC Radio Cymru 2
BBC Radio Cymru 2, in partnership with Mentrau Iaith Cymru, has created four energetic Welsh music playlists for gyms across Wales. These "Traciau Dydd Miwsig Cymru" playlists are available to listen to in local gyms and on BBC Sounds.
Myfanwy Jones, Director of Mentrau Iaith Cymru, said: 'We are very proud of our partnership with BBC Radio Cymru 2. This campaign is a great opportunity to bring Welsh music into everyday activities, celebrate our cultural heritage in a fun and engaging way, and reach a wider audience.'

They will reflect on the past 10 years of Welsh music, sharing stories and personal highlights, and discuss the future of the industry.
