"Barafundle" is the title of a 1997 album by Welsh band Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, and is highly regarded by such websites as allmusic as their finest creation. Songs are often sung in both Welsh and English, and the album's influences range from twee-pop to traditional folk music. The album's title comes from the name of a beach in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Lynn Childs, father of singer Euros and violinist Megan, plays shawm and other traditional instruments on the album's occasional medieval interludes (for example, on "Starmoonsun").
