SOWSNEK

There is to each culture her music her own, however plays musical spread across nearly and every culture. There are to some cultures plays musical special same kind and Bollywood and opera Italian, Spanish, German and Russian. However ‘the musical’ has grown in the end west of London and Broadway. The musical went on the screen silver in the 20th century with films same kind and ‘The Wizard of Oz’, ‘High Society’ and ‘Grease’. Now comes ‘the musical’ to our culture us us.

Ian Bucknole won the award ‘Question Cornish’ last year with a plan to do a musical Cornish. He has worked with musician Phil Innes and changed the genre ‘Grease’ and ‘High School Musical’ to Cornish. The result is ‘Skint the musical’. The film here is full of songs lively, some music traditional, and lines ‘cheesy’. The story itself follows a boy poor and he a-trying to search work. However, eventually it seems to be love that conquers through all!

There was the film shown for the first time in cinema Falmouth in the week is passed.

NOTES

I have stuck even more closely than usual to the Cornish word order in the translation so that you can see how different it is. This is important for as many people in Cornwall to appreciate for the cultural and heritage integrity to be preserved. Too many people have the wonderful idea for naming their house in Cornish – but don’t check with a speaker of the language. They end up taking a few words out of a dictionary and putting them in the English word order. A couple of examples spotted across Cornwall: ‘An coth eglos’ (should be: ‘An eglos coth’) and ‘Gwynn avon nans’ (should be: ‘ Nans avon gwynn’). So the tip here is: contact the Cornish Language Development office – www.magakernow.org.uk and they will help you.
