Shân Cothi was one half of the duet that set a new Guinness World Record

A duet bridging the 7,000 miles between Wales and Patagonia has set a new world record.

BBC Radio Cymru's Shân Cothi sang the Welsh hymn Calon Lân with Andres Evans.

The record-setting link-up, officially "the greatest distance between people singing a duet", was broadcast live on Radio Cymru for BBC Music Day.

It is one of a number of projects marking the 150th anniversary of the establishment of a Welsh settlement, Y Wladfa, in Patagonia in 1865.
