Product Description

From Amazon.com

Unlike most contemporary Irish bands, Lúnasa has no singer, preferring instead to focus on purely instrumental music. But on The Merry Sisters of Fate, the playing of flautist Kevin Crawford, fiddler Sean Smyth, and uilleann piper Cillian Vallely is so lyrical you hardly notice the lack. The three lead players are supported by guitarist Donogh Hennesy and bassist Trevor Hutchinson, who create a sound that is rhythmically supple and harmonically complex while still being deeply rooted in tradition. All members of the band are topnotch players, but what sets Lúnasa apart from other Irish bands is the inventiveness of arrangements that skillfully weave the sounds of such nontraditional instruments as lap steel guitar, clarinet, and harmonium with the standard flutes, fiddles, and pipes. The sound that Lúnasa creates is undeniably modern, but they play these old jigs and reels with a combination of grace and conviction that will have even the most hidebound purist itching to get up and dance. --Michael Simmons

5.0 out of 5 stars すばらしい疾走感, 2003/10/8
このCDを見つけたのは偶然ですた。何となく気になって聞いてみると、耳に飛び込んでくるのは、伝統的な音楽にとらわれない疾走感。
フルートやパイプだけでない、ギターが組み合わされることで、聞かない人には取っつきにくいこの手のジャンルでも、嫌みなくするっと耳に入り込んできます。

ケルティックに限らず、ワールドミュージックを初めて聴く人、絶対おすすめです。

5.0 out of 5 stars アイルランドのスーパーバンド!!, 2009/6/14
By 日本太郎 (東京都) - See all my reviews
 ケルト音楽と言えばチーフタンズが有名ですが、これはその新しい波・・当時、ピーター・バラカンが推薦してたので聴いてみたのですがすごくよかった。
 ギター・フィドル・フルート・ホイッスル・パイプによる全曲インストです。チーフタンズのマット・モロイをして「アイルランド音楽の伝説的なバンド、ボシーバンドの再来」とまで言わせた無敵のアンサンブル力を誇る。
 音楽のグルーブ感とは昨今のR&Bやダンスミュージックだけのものでは無いことを証明してます!!
 彼等の経歴が結構すごくてケルト音楽の申し子の集まりなんですが、詳しくは日本語のHPがあるのでそちらを見てください。

 ちなみにルナサとはアイルランド語で「八月」という意味。またケルトの芸術をつかさどる神(LUGH)の名前にも由来しているそうです。
