Singer-songwriter Gwenno has claimed a Mercury Prize nomination for her album - which is sung almost entirely in Cornish. She tells Anja_Popp that musicians that come from a minority culture can “feel a pressure to conform”.
She’s credited with getting more people to learn Cornish, and now the singer-songwriter Gwenno has been nominated for a Mercury Prize.
Almost every track on her third album Tresor is in Cornish – making it the first not in the English language to be nominated, on a shortlist alongside stars like Harry Styles, Sam Fender and Self Esteem.
