Na Chieftains, an Darna Ceum

Episode 4 of 7

Mary Ann Kennedy with music from Celtic Connections 2016. This episode features the Chieftains, who popularised traditional music around the world.

Chan eil cur-as-aithne sam bith a dhith air Na Chieftains. Tha an còmhlan innleachdach seo air cruth-atharrachaidh a thoirt air ceòl agus air puirt ùr is eachdraidheil a thoirt gu luchd-èisteachd air feadh an t-saoghail. Bha fèill mhòr air Chieftains nuair a nochd iad air àrd-ùralr Talla-Cuirme Rìoghail Ghlaschu aig toiseach fèis Cheltic Connections.

Air 100mh ceann-bliadhna do dh'ar-a-mach na Càisge, tha Cuirm@Celtic: Na Chieftains, an Dàrna Ceum a' comharrachadh linn do cheòl na h-Èireann còmhla ri cuid de na rionnagan ciùil Èireannach às aithnichte a th' ann, agus cuid a dh'aoighean air leth sònraichte. Bidh caraidean-ciùil nan cuideachd air àrd-ùrlar na fèise - nam measg bidh fear-ciùil cho iomraiteach 's a th' ann, Kris
Kristofferson. Ged a tha Na Chieftains aithnichte airson a bhith a' sgaoileadh ceòl traidiseanta gu èisteachd fad agus farsaing, tha iad a' cheart cho ainmeil airson a bhith a' co-obrachadh còmhla ri luchd-ciùil eile. 'S e an càirdeas ciùil seo a tha fàgail cuirmean mòr dhe leithid cho tarraingeach agus cho prìseil.

The Chieftains revolutionised music and have taken old and new tunes to stages all over the world. They received a rapturous welcome when they appeared onstage in Glasgow Royal Concert Hall near the start of the Celtic Connections festival.

On the centenary of the Easter Rising, Cuirm@Celtic: Na Chieftains, an Dàrna Ceum celebrates a brilliant era of Irish music with some of Irish music's brightest stars alongside some special guests. Widely recognised for having popularised traditional music with audiences around the world, the band is renowned for their collaborations with other musicians. These musical unions make large concerts like this both popular and valued.
