Wales’ most famous choir has just released a very special version of a song that has gripped the nation as we head into our first football World Cup in more than 60 years.
The Welsh National Opera (WNO) is paying tribute to the Welsh squad out in Qatar and to Wales itself as ‘the land of song’ by unveiling an alternate version of Dafydd Iwan’s Yma o Hyd. Get our brilliant 48-page Wales at the World Cup souvenir guide to the tournament.
The song has been given a whole new lease of life in recent months after Iwan sang it on the pitch at Cardiff City Stadium before Wales’ crucial World Cup play-off games against Austria and Ukraine earlier this year. Since then, it has grown and grown in popularity and been selected as the official anthem for Wales’ appearance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
