The Kanneh-Masons - River of Music. This is a story about our family and the sources of our music. Music runs like a river through the generations, and our passion for listening an d playing music comes from our grandparents, and from their stories, flowing from the places and dreams they passed on... - Konya Kanneh-Mason, Grandad's Dream. From their Welsh grandmother following love across the sea to Sierra Leone, to their Antiguan grandad passing on his own dashed hopes of a musical career, this album celebrates the musical threads of the Kanneh-Mason family. Surrounding Schubert's Trout Quintet, which they all grew up playing, are new arrangements of classical favorites most loved by their grandparents, Welsh folk songs and spirituals, performed and often arranged by the seven siblings. The album is pulled together with a story by writer Konya, called 'Grandad's Dream.' 2 LP set. Deep River (Arr. The Kanneh-Masons for Ensemble), Ar Lan y Môr (Arr.
