Mari Lywd appearance
The Mari Lwyd is unique to Wales. In its purest form the tradition involves the arrival of the horse and its party at the door of the house or pub, where they sing several introductory verses. Then comes a battle of wits (known as pwnco) in which the people inside the door and the Mari party outside exchange challenges and insults in rhyme. At the end of the battle, which can be as long as the creativity of the two parties holds out, the Mari party enters with another song. See the Mari Llywd for yourself and accompany him in Welsh traditional songs!
