"Some of the tales, like those of the Inuit from Canada, are thousands of years old. So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with the distance of time," he said early this month.
Two Inuit women, both in their mid-60s, are among file few remaining who can do Kntadjait, or throat singing, which has few words and much sound.
Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings, forcing them to say little but listen attentively.
Amibrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving (coming back into use or existence)storytelling in Wales.
"It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here," Amibrose said.
