AFRO CELT SOUND SYSTEM


Ten years ago I discovered world music super group, Afro Celt Sound System and began collecting their entire discography. They are the least likely group to see live, but that's ok, the best seat is in your ear. If stranded on the island with one CD, I would choose Afro Celt Sound System and never tire of it, if it was the last music I ever heard.

Afro Celt Sound System is a musical group which fuses modern dance rhythms (trip-hop, techno, etc.) with traditional Irish (Celtic) and West African dance rhythms formed by Grammy-nominated producer-guitarist Simon Emmerson, and is considered to be somewhat of a world music supergroup, often having a wide range of guest artists on their albums:

Peter Gabriel, Robert Plant, Pete Lockett, Sinéad O’Connor, Pina Kollar, Dorothee Munyaneza, Sevara Nazarkhan, Simon Massey, Jesse Cook, Martin Hayes, Eileen Ivers, Mundy, Demba Barry, Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh, and Ciarán Tourish of Altan, Ronan Browne, Michael McGoldrick, Myrdhin, Shooglenifty, Mairead Nesbitt, Davy Spillane, Jonas Bruce, Heather Nova, Julie Murphy and Ayub Ogada. -Wikipedia
