Riveting music that reaffirms and enlarges the international stature of the traditional band recognized as Ireland's best. Never complacent, Altan experiments with harmony and choral singing on such stirring songs in Irish as Donal Agus Morag, led by Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh's extraordinarily expressive voice.


This album stamps Altan as a band whose vocal blend can fully match the mastery of their fiery instrumental playing. Ciaran Tourish joins, and the three fiddlers have never sounded tighter or more tenacious, while Frankie Kennedy again shows why he's among Ireland's most accomplished flutists.
