Description:

Among world music genres, Irish and Celtic music are the most popular. In Japan, there are labels and companies that specialize in introducing these genres, and there are even Japanese Irish performers and groups, giving them a depth not found in other world music genres. This 10-CD compilation box offers a fascinating glimpse of Irish and Celtic music, not only traditional, but also modernized and influenced by other genres of folk music. Membran, a German label/distributor of music from a variety of genres, has previously released a number of albums on this label, including "Kokuma" by the Gambari Band, a young, mainly West African stringed instrument ensemble that plays mainly the ngoni, and "Kokuma" (NWR-707), a collection of songs by the Ngongoni, a traditional West African string instrument. (This time, however, we are pleased to introduce a gorgeous compilation disc with a European atmosphere.The 128 tracks included in this collection are from a wide variety of artists, from those who have released many albums in Japan and have visited Japan many times to those who are well known to the general public. The album features 128 tracks of music by a wide variety of artists, from the popular Japanese artists Altan and Lunasa to Tannahill Weavers, Wolfstone, Cherish the Ladies, Mick Moloney, John Doyle, Liz Carroll, Callan Casey, Susan McKeon, Paul Brady, Kate Rasby, and many more. The CD7 is a collection of traditional Scottish music. CD7 features traditional Scottish music, CD8 features Celtic bagpipe music, CD9 features the 2004 Celtic Fiddle Festival's "Play On" in its entirety, and CD10 features bluegrass and newgrass artists who are musically related to Celtic music. CD 10 introduces bluegrass and newgrass artists who are musically related to Celtic music. The CD-ROM does not contain the actual booklet, but instead contains PDF data of the booklet (with English commentary) for each disc, which can be printed out at your leisure. This box set is truly an encyclopedia of Irish/Celtic music.The affordable price is also very attractive. (Japanese commentary with obi with Japanese explanation is not enclosed.
