Celtic Connections 2010


Four years into this series and still only one comment! Still these posts are getting a couple of google plusses so someone out there must like them.

Maybe the first song will change all that as it is a first for  CMM - some traditional morna music from Cape Verde.
Mayra Andrade was born in Cuba to Cape Verdean parents and now lives and works in Paris. This is the title track from her 2009 album Storia Storia 
Mayra is followed by some bluegrass courtesy of Alecia Nugent from her album Hillbilly Goddess on Rounder Records.

For our traditional offering we conclude with a Robert Burns number courtesy of Pur  the collective name of Katie Mackenzie and Shona Donalson from the album The Lassies'  Reply

2011 next week

  2. As Clive said - keep it up. It's not the music I listen regular but from time to time I dive into this.
