….Compass Point

Another very ambitious project was the hugely popular Compass Point International Music Festival, which was launched in 2001 in Cardiff. After organising multiple international projects from Columbia to New York to Latvia and seeing the huge impact of these experiences on participants, CMW sought to run this large-scale project in Wales, drawing participants from across Europe. There were workshops with performances, where the participants could showcase their work alongside established artists from the hip-hop and rock worlds. The festival was free and was attended by over 5,000 young people over the associated weekends.

Compass Point

Prosiect arall uchelgeisiol iawn oedd Gŵyl Gerdd Ryngwladol Compass Point. Roedd hon yn ŵyl hynod boblogaidd a chafodd ei lansio yn 2001 yng Nghaerdydd. Ar ôl trefnu nifer o brosiectau rhyngwladol o Golumbia i Efrog Newydd i Latfia a gweld effaith aruthrol y profiadau hyn ar gyfranogwyr, ceisiodd CGC gynnal y prosiect mawr hwn yng Nghymru, gan ddenu cyfranogwyr o bob rhan o Ewrop. Cynhaliwyd gweithdai gyda pherfformiadau, lle gallai'r cyfranogwyr arddangos eu gwaith ochr yn ochr ag artistiaid sefydledig o’r byd hip-hop a roc. Roedd yr ŵyl yn rhad ac am ddim a daeth dros 5,000 o bobl ifanc yno dros y penwythnosau oedd yn gysylltiedig â’r ŵyl.
