This is the moment a group of Welsh children broke into song at an airport and stunned travellers with a gorgeous rendition of Calon Lân.

As the 42 members of the National Youth Choir of Wales burst into song as they waited to board a flight in Buenos Aires.

Performing seven concerts in 11 days in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Welsh settlement in Patagonia the choir has been singing in Gaiman and Trelew as part of the year-long festival.

Choir member Martin Griffiths said: “The reaction of the audiences in both Buenos Aires and Patagonia were outstanding.

"In all of the concerts we did the venues were full to the brim with people celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Welsh coming to Patagonia to live there.

“The concert in Theatre Verdi was the best concert technically and it was a privilege to share the concert with two other very talented young school choirs, but the concert in Gaiman was definitely the most emotional.

“The concert was performed in Capel Bethel and due to the amount of welsh speaking citizens in the town, the audience was touched by the choir and by the passion which the music was performed with.

“‘Tydi y Rhoddaist’ is the choir’s trademark piece of music and the audience were in tears by the end of it, as well as the choir members.

“It was an emotionally draining tour but the people of Patagonia and Argentina were incredibly accommodating and thankful for our visit.

“This was indeed an experience none of us will ever forget.”
