@@cigh7445 It is often suggested that there was a lot more contact (by sea) between Ireland and North Africa in ancient times than people thought. Film-maker Bob Quinn was convinced of these links and even snuck some North African music into his film Poitín and everyone took it for Irish traditional music (was on a radio in one scene). The kind of drawn out tones in sean nós are not dissimilar to the Muslim call to prayer for example. The fact that the Irish for black man is 'fear gorm' literally "blue man' and there are people in North Africa known as the blue men (from the dye they use coming off on their skin I think) may not be a coincidence either. Just a thought..

In the US, in the colonial period, many Celtic people were shipped to the east coast of the USA as indentured labor and I believe some possibly as convict labor, I'd have to check the info but I'm pretty sure that was the case. Of course at the time England was dominating and genociding the Celtic peoples and until the American revolution the east coast areas such as Virginia were British territory. English settlers would buy or contract Celtic labor from ship captains with a period agreed upon of whatever number of years of labor of that person. Celtic labor was being shipped to the east coast of the US for the tobacco etc industry and the carribean for the sugar industry. If not enough laborers could be found to fill a ship's hold for the contract the captain had promised, even by trumped-up charges, they'd simply kidnap people. If the laborer died before the end of the contract then their payment at the end wouldn't have to be paid. England was very busily trying to erase Celtic people from the celtic isles and inventing crimes to get rid of them etc. Many Celtic people brought to the east coast of what became the US escaped inland to avoid being worked to death. If they could put enough rows of hills, valleys, thick forests, and territory of native americans between themselves and the person who had "bought" their labor for 7 (or however many) yrs, that person might give up on trying to find them. For some reason the people of Appalachia have almost a complete amnesia about their origins. Hundreds of songs sung in Appalachia are versions of songs from the Celtic isles that go back centuries.

I'm so excited by this. I grew up listening to Scottish, Irish, and Welsh folk music. The world has this idea of ethereal harp music and Enya-style stuff as being "Celtic" but at best that stuff is loosely Celtic-inspired. The actual folk music traditions, both in English and in Irish, Welsh, Gaidhlig, etc. Are so much richer that the single dimension that so many people are exposed to. There are even Irish and Gaidhlig language traditions in Nova Scotia and Welsh in Patagonia, Argentina (specifically in Y Wladfa). If you're looking at Irish sean nós, I hope you look at Gaidhlig music from Scotland as well, and the eisteddfodau in Wales at the very least. There are currently 6 Celtic languages: Irish Gaelic (Gaelge, Irish), Scottish Gaelic (Gaidhlig), Manx Gaelic (Gaelg, Manx), Welsh (Cymraeg), Cornish (Kernewek), and Breton (Brezhoneg). They all have beautiful traditions, but Manx, Cornish, and Breton are closer to the brink of extinction than the other three

@Peacelily respectfully, your comment shows little knowledge on the subject. Irish and Gàidhlig are not mutually intelligible and both diverged from Old Irish (which is not mutually intelligible with modern Irish) over 1,500 years ago. For an introduction to Gàidhlig music I'd recommend Julie Fowlis. For an introduction to Welsh folk music I'd recommend Plethyn. Each of the Insular Celtic traditions has similarities and differences from a variety of sources. Each of those nations has a Catholic heritage, though most of them became predominantly Protestant. That's far from a pivotal factor in the shaping of folk music. As far as Irish music=ethereal, Oró Sé do Bheatha 'Bhaile, An Poc Ar Buile, Níl Sé'n Lá, and the entire tradition of Mouth Music would beg to differ. There are certainly plenty of laments and love songs that can be ethereal (the song above is an obvious example, but these other (Protestant) traditions have plenty of that too, just see Breuddwyd Glyndwr performed by Plethyn), but it's so much more than that. Cheers!
@leejames3148 2 жыл бұрын
@Peacelily I am Welsh, a Welsh speaker and Catholic. There IS such a thing as Welsh folk music. Why would you ever think that there was not? Very strange! With respect, you seem to know nothing about the subject you are talking about especially with regard to Welsh folk music. It has a deep, deep and long history. We are not all about choirs and bands. Our folk music is heavily influenced by our Welsh language which is the most spoken (as a first language) Celtic language in the world today. We may be a small nation but we pack a firey punch (our national symbol is a red dragon) with music, language and culture just like Scotland and Ireland. Listen to Carreg Llafar, Ar Log, Kalan and the countless other Welsh folk groups out there. It’s about time Wales started to get noticed for its massive and amazing musicality instead of being drowned out by the ‘bigger’ Celtic nations which I adore by the way. It’s about time people were more informed about Welsh folk music. There is an excellent video on KZfaq about Welsh folk music and its long history. Here it is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtWCl7acr7Kllqs.html Also, Wales was a bastion of Catholicism for a long time after the ENGLISH (not Welsh) reformation with many martyrs giving up their lives for their faith. So, as far as Welsh folk music is concerned look it up and you will clearly see. You will be very surprised and much more well informed. 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴

When you see places like Newgrange & its Stone Age (Neolithic) passage tombs and rock art, the book of Kells and the Ardagh Chalice you'll probably get a better understanding of the breath and depth of the ancient culture you come from.

Irish is a sister language of Latin, so while we took a lot of words from Latin with the coming of Christianity, it's not the case with fir. In Old Irish it was fer, from Proto-Celtic *wiros, which itself came from Proto-Indo-European. So it has a cognate in Welsh (gŵr), in Breton as gour, which happens to be the same in Cornish. So it didn't come into the Celtic languages from Latin, but was there in the languages they evolved from. It is the same when you look at Sanskrit (vīra), Lithuanian (výras), and there was even an Old English wer. Virile does come from the Latin, as virya came from vīra in Sanskrit, meaning manly, and by extension, strong, energetic, and heroic. Which in modern Irish is fearúil, meaning manly or virile.

Thank you for doing this! Please do more videos around the Sean Nós! I grew up listening to this style of music, but unfortunately it isn't easy to find people who also connect with Irish music or the Irish language. These videos bring me back so much, and have re-motivated me to learn these songs and preserve the art. Ps, you guys did an amazing job Elanor na Rún :)

yeah, it doesn't resonate with everyone and I dont understand why. It sounds incredibly beautiful to me and has a way of making me stop, listen and just feel deeply even though I can't understand one word ahah.

I love Ireland and I love Irish music. This video was perfect!! As I was listening I heard dissonance chords. I absolutely love those kind of chords. When notes on a page mesh so beautifully like that, my spirit swells. It's a magical moment in music for me. Thank you three for teaching me about Sean nós singing.

Harmony is everything. Not only in music. It's telling that we are touched in our core if harmonic music is sung by human voices. We crave harmony, not only in tone, but in life.

Utterly soul-shattering... And reading the other comments here, it so happens that I grew up in Appalachian Virginia, and I agree there's some mysterious connection between this and "old timey" gospel music from the hills...

My Grandmother was from County Clare and my Great Grandfather was from Donegal! We were never able to go home again! However, I am now in my 70’s and learning Irish Gaelic! We kept being Irish alive through music, dance, violin, mandolin, pipes, flutes and drums! Irish Rebel Music was banned until a few years ago but I knew every word to every song though my parents never spoke of the “ struggles “! My father’s side is Lakota Oglala and we lived on reserve Pine Ridge South Dakota-Medicine Root-Native American people love Irish music especially Sean Nos-Now of course thanks to KZfaq! 👵🏽✌🏾✨☀️✨🇮🇪🇮🇪

The harmonies are unbelievably tight. There's a moment at 6:25, on the elongated vowel of "smaoineamh" where it's just the two women singing, but it sounds like a third note can be heard, the fifth on top of the triad that they're singing, I think. That type of harmonic resonance between two voices is just one of the most special things humans can do together
