Potpourri ft. Karamo Susso

Irish Gaelic name = Aililiú Na Gamhna
A gorgeous song in Irish Gaelic that is sung in the old-style or sean-nos tradition. I learned this song from Éilís Ní Shúilleabháin in Cork, 2005.  You can read the full translation at:

Reviewed in the San Francisco Chronicle in September 2008:
"Solas and other musical groups have done the traditional Irish folk song "Calling Home the Calves" (Aililiu Na Gamhna), but Lucia Comnes has taken it to a higher level, using her singular voice and two instruments from the Indian subcontinent - bansuri flute and shruti box - to create a goose-bumpy tableau of nature and memory. "Calling Home the Calves" is one of numerous delights on Comnes' new album, "On the Way," which takes songs from across borders..."

Hope to hear from you at Magnatune!

Thank you,

Lucia
