I see, some people want to know about Celtic music in Russia. So, we love the Celts and their history, and, of course, we love their music! Many musicians play and sing folk music, connecting Celtic, Bretonic and even Slavonic traditions...
Wow! Tuilel! How so very interesting! I had no idea that Russia had an interest in Celtic music and all things Celtic! that is what I love about the internet is we all get to correspond with each other from all over the world and learn about each other and do away with stereotypes! Too bad we can't promote world peace through the internet too, but I believe this is a start!
Thank you so much Tuilel for educating us. I will have to check out some of those groups you listed!
I didnt find another topic, so if Tuilel authorized me, i write about a hungarian celtic band:)).
They called: Bran They played about 1993, in traditional celtic and breton melodies. They have 6 albums (Antlerswood, A csontnak a partjain, Tír na nÓg, Port, Immram, Idir).
Irish music magazine (2003): HUNGARY FOR BRAN "While there are many well known Irish performers touring Europe, there are also countless singers and bands who, influenced by Irish music contribute their own unique melodies to the European music scene. One such group is BRAN, a band located in Hungary, who have been playing traditional Irish music for the last 10 years. The group leader, Gáborjan Kovacs studied in UCC in 1992/3. Some of the subjects included Ethnomusicology, Celtic Mythology, the Cultural History of Medieval Ireland and the Irish language. One of his professors was the world renowned Micheál Ó Suileabháin. On his return to Hungary, Gáborjan sought to familiarise people with different aspects of Irish traditions. Indeed included in Brans concerts are lectures on Irish history and culture. Other members of the group include - Róbert Császár, Sándor Kis and Tánya Szabó. Together they create a unique and fasinating insight into Irish music. They have released a number of CDs- Immran, Idir, Port, Antlerswood and Tír na nÓg, the last of which contains Irish fairy-tales which have been translated into Hungarian. The band appears regularly in Budapest. Included in their performance are slide shows, story-telling, céilí and dance classes. So if youre in Hungary why not seek BRAN out, and experience Irish music with a difference."
Different: I listen some russian celtic music, and its wonderful... i really like this:))
Athalay! I am constantly amazed as to the interest in Celtic music by different countries. However, if we study Celtic history, the ancient Celts traveled to many countries way back when!
Waouw Tuilel and Athalay ! Those groups are amazing...well those I could listen to(you know I've a little problem with cyrillic alphabet so I don't always find where to click to download the mp3... ). I suggest you to present these groups on the "recommended music" topic, maybe Macfive can contact some of them and they will be played here...

I agree with Celtica and Celtic Rose! Wonderful music! Make sure to recommend it!
