DescriptionSource: CD Format: FLAC Year: 2006 ----------------  'Celtic Music' is the collective name given to the native folk music of the Celtic nations. The seven Celtic nations of Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, Cornwall, Wales, Galicia and the Isle of Man share a common tradition of folk music and songs. Each musical tradition includes lively dance-tunes, melancholic airs, and songs both serious and comical. The great Celtic Music Festivals such as Lorient's 'Festival Interceltique' and Glasgow's 'Celtic Connections' freely mix singers, bands. pipers, contemporary composers, solo traditional players and harpers in a wide-ranging showcase of the best elements of Celtic Folk music. Irish, Breton, Scots, Welsh, Manx, Cornish and Galician traditions blend into a cohesive whole and personify the many different and special strands of the Celtic peoples. In the sessions and concerts the reels and jigs, pipe band marches, airs and ballads, both ancient and contemporary, combine with experimental fusions of folk with rock and jazz elements. It is with the same spirit of crossing cultural and musical traditions in mind that this 'Celtic Folk Festival' album is compiled. 'Celtic Folk Festival' is a 'gathering of the clans' with both native Irish, Scottish and Breton musicians and singers meeting performers from Europe and America, who have taken this wondrous enchanting and historic music to their hearts. The worldwide popularity of Celtic Music has blossomed over the last decade. With the phenomenal success of shows like Bill Whelan's 'Riverdance', Michael Flatley's 'Lord of the Dance' and Dan Ar Braz's 'Heritage Des Celtes' shows, Celtic music has found a place as a worldwide musical language. Behind the commercial success lies a tradition of music and songs passed down through centuries and generations. These are born of the history, experience and traditions of the Celtic peoples. 'Celtic Folk Festival' is a snapshot of the living reality of Celtic musical traditions in today's world. – John O'Regan Please seed! Related Torrents
