Celtic Music
Celtic MusicTraditional Celtic music is a grouping of musical genres that dates back to the folk music and traditions of the Celtic people of Northern Europe. The term Celtic music applies to not only Ireland, but Scotland as well. There are a large number of Celtic music festivals each year in Ireland, however the Celtic music scene has throughout time expanded into the U.S. as well as spread all over the world. Bands like The Chieftains and The Roches can be found in music stores right here in Arkansas and are worth giving a listen to. Imagine acoustic guitars, Celtic percussion, a flute, banjo and an Irish fiddle soaring over the wonderful vocalists singing songs about the Celtic way of life and you will see that Celtic music is somewhat reminiscent of the country and folk music right here in the U.S. Here are some musical recommendations for you this St. Patrick's Day from KARK 4 and ArkansasMatters.com.
