Loading ...Celtic Music from Around the World
Celtic Music really is universally loved. We expect to hear great Celtic Music from Ireland and Scotland. We also expect to find it in the places the Celtic peoples emigrated to in droves – the US, Canada and Australia. But there are other places where Celtic Music is popular. We will spotlight some great Celtic bands from places you might not immediately think of as Celtic areas.
Spain
Hevia He was recommended to me by my daughter. Really interesting sound. If you have never heard Flemenco overtones on pipes you are in for a treat. Two great cultures that sound great together. For samples check out his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/joseangelhevia His music is for sale on Amazon.
Poland
Greenwood Their music and the art on their myspace page has a ren faire or fantasy feel to it. Done on traditional instruments sometimes very pretty other times pure pub fair. Well worth a listen even if you don’t speak Polish. http://www.myspace.com/greenwoodfolkband
Germany
Cara Winners of the 2010 Best New Irish Artist in the Irish Music Awards this group of traditional musicians are really making their mark on the Irish Music Scene.

Connemara Stone Company If you want something a bit more moody and with a celtrock feel this is your band. Lots of pipes and very high energy music. You can hear samples at their myspace page http://www.myspace.com/connemarastonecompany Info on purchasing their cds can also be found on this page.
