Aye....now that would be the Poulnabrone Dolmen 'image' that is at the end of this great tune. It's a burial chamber (much older than the pyramids by the way) that is in north Clare near Ballyvaughan on the west coast of Ireland. On the 'Wild-Atlantic-Way'....no less. *Long live Martyn Bennett's music!*
This is beautiful music. I have only heard it twice in the past month. I’m disappointed that it isn’t available unless you have serius xm. I’ve had it for 8 years and am just hearing this music in the last month.
Cead Mile Failte my friend. Gallic is still spoken in the part of the province we are originally from, Cape Breton Island. The language and music is sacred there.
This would make the perfect first dance for a bride and groom at the reception with a traditional palm to palm, encircling with their eyes in each other's gaze while the guests looked on. So powerful and it builds to a gentle but powerful crescendo. A promise.
Namaste! I made a Video with some of my "gentle" Cats, and used this "gentle" Masterpiece, for the background. Like a carpet for the TIGERS. The Video is titled "Kitten Day 133 - House of the Ancestors (Afro Celt Sound System)" Feel free to JOIN iT!!!
Awesome coming-together of genius across the big Atlantic pond, like they played together all their lives. In a way, they did. Thanks for posting, McVity. I know the tune but this version is an instant favorite for me too.
@Mcvity Yeah man, I, as a Dutchy from te clay grounds totally agree with you. To bad those bloody Romans nearly routed out every Celtic feeling everywhere. But thankfullly the feeling still remains, and Ry Cooder is proof of that.
@LipsOfAshes Gallacia in Spain is Celtic and there's a guy named named Carlos Nunez that the Cheiftans often tour with from their and they did an Album called Santiago
@LipsOfAshes Well there is actually a reference to 'Black Irish' that is attributable to Iberian influences from a number of possible sources. The one possible (but least likely source) has to do with survivors from the Spanish Armada washing up on the shores of Ireland after their fleeet was destroyed. The Irish not exactly loving the English were surely not eager to turn them in.
;) the mistake is in the opening titles i spelt it Rye instead of Ry, and yes the video clip of the chieftains with the Irish dancers doesn't fit the music, merely eye candy ;) hehe peace :)
My Faither Jim McTrucks would love that, The Chieftains and Ry Cooder, but he is in in a wee toon called JACKSONVILLE USA and I wish he could be with us at "CELTIC CONNECTIONS 2010"
Beautiful music :) and video :) I love Braveheart one of my favorite movies :)..Listening to this music brings me back home within the Highlands of Bonnie Scotland:) 5++:) Thank you for sharing with me:)..Take care dear friend and best wishes to you and yours always .ALBA GU BRATH XXX
Heard Sam Heughan talk about Martyn Bennett and loving Celtic music decided to listen all I can say is thanks
Ry played with everybody. If Mars had a musical community, Ry would have found a way to get their and jam with the Martians.
legend
One of the most underrated and unknown artists.

@strawberrytron Agreed! It's been a favourite of mine since I heard it as a child.

Excellent, always touches me, makes me feel proud or something.
Hi! what's the name of the song, please? I love The Chieftains. Greetings from Spain

;) the mistake is in the opening titles i spelt it Rye instead of Ry, and yes the video clip of the chieftains with the Irish dancers doesn't fit the music, merely eye candy ;) hehe peace :)
aye its such a haunting tune this, and i hope to be at the Celtic connections too ;)
My Faither Jim McTrucks would love that, The Chieftains and Ry Cooder, but he is in in a wee toon called JACKSONVILLE USA and I wish he could be with us at "CELTIC CONNECTIONS 2010"
