Multi-million selling world music artist Méav teams up with Grammy award-winning producer Craig Leon (Blondie, Talking Heads, Ramones, Pavarotti) to record folk-pop album 'The Calling'.
One of the founding members of female supergroup Celtic Woman, Méav returns to her musical origins with 'The Calling', 12 tracks of newly written songs, folk ballads and fresh interpretations of timeless classics. 'The Calling', a contemporary pop treatment of new songs and folk classics from Ireland, England, Scotland, Brittany, Galicia and America, showcases Méav's crystal clear voice, elegantly fusing her Classical training with her folk roots. - เพลง

Look at this beautiful woman as she sings the words to "The Calling" and it is easy to see why she was voted 2013 Female Vocalist of the year by the Irish Music Association. I have seen Meav perform in person and I have met her on more than one occasion; and Meav is such a beautiful lady with that sweet spirit that makes it so easy to love her. Thank you Meav.

Thank you for your comments. I can clarify that the melody of The Calling is traditional. Afonso did write words to the beautiful traditional melody but there is no connection between our lyrics and his. This is confirmed by his publishers. Hope you enjoy The Calling!
I must ask you to search a little bit more, because the composer of the original song is a Portuguese symbol and this can be very embarrassing for you. There's no problem in reinterpret Zeca Afonso, that's actually very flattering but please understand that you're dealing with a symbol. Zeca Afonso wrote many songs that were the result of his knowledge and research on traditional portuguese music and that might be fooling you into the wrong path... Hopefully you'll correct this miss understanding. Check the album: “Galinhas do Mato”. Thank you.
Thank you Inés. I assure you that I have researched this in great detail and there is no misunderstanding. Zeca Afonso recorded Tu Gitana but he did not write either the words or the melody.
Meav Ni Mhaolchatha This song, music and lirics, is a old portuguese song of our Elvas Songbook. (near 1570). But you change the liric. However you say is traditional. From where?
José Afonso was the first to put this song in a record. And your interpretation is like the Jose Afonso did. Can you explain this?
however your song is very beautifull too.
Actually the music (not the lyrics) is by José Afonso (Zeca Afonso), though some arrangements have been done in Luar na Lubre's celtic version. There's evidence in this excerpt of an interview ( www.aja.pt/ficheiros/entrevistas/entrevistaviriatoteles.pdf ) given by Zeca Afonso in 1985 (I'm sorry it is not translated to english):
«(...) E há o ‘Tu Gitana’, uma música que eu fiz com uma ‘letra robot’, a letra de uma canção de Vila Viçosa que eu cantei muito em Coimbra, no grupo que deu origem ao Coral da Faculdade de Letras. Descobri que essa letra se coadunava perfeitamente com aquela música que eu tinha feito.»
As far as I know there's no reason to think that he was lying. Anyway, this is just a historical matter and I don't think Zeca Afonso would give a damn about it. Let me just say that the lyrics of 'Tu Gitana' are in spanish, although it's geographical origin is within portuguese territory (quite near to border of Spain). Hope I have helped to clarify all this controversy.
"Afonso did write words" - WRONG!!!
"traditional melody" - WRONG!!!
"there is no connection between our lyrics and his" - NOT IMPORTANT!!!
Meav is not human. She is a Celtic goddess, transported from a bygone era to deliver these soul-soothing ballads to us mere mortals.
Meav is a well deserved award winning artist. This song is a beautiful expression of her abilities as a singer and lyricist. Congratulations on your IMA award, Meav!

What I saw Méav answer is that the music was traditional and not written by her. Those of you still on that kick should give that up. As for the lyrics, she answered that too. It was collaborated by the group listed on the CD (which she is one), not anyone else. It was not taken from anyone else or from any other language. It is a haunting melody and HER lyrics fit the tone of the music beautifully.
CONGRATULATIONS, MEAV!!
BEST FEMALE VOCALIST ... IRISH MUSIC AWARDS...FOR 2013!!
We are so very proud of you! Your songs and your music fill our lives with happiness. This song just shows your beauty in writing your thoughts in song. Keep writing your words in song, Méav!! You are the very best!!

If you haven't watched or listened to Meav's signature song "The Calling" from her latest CD by the same title, you are in for a real treat when you do!! Her hauntingly beautiful lyrics set to a traditional melody will stay in your heart and mind for quite a while! Congratulations to Meav, The I.M.A.'s newest recipient of Female vocalist of the year (2013) in the Traditional genre. Thank you, Meav, for a delightful CD!

I just finished listening to your new CD The Calling. Absolutely beautiful. As many times as I have listened I am still unable to choose a favorite. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is breathtaking, Songline To Home brought tears to my eyes and the layering in Shenandoah is beyond comparison. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and music with all of us. This CD is timeless!
Meav and her producer used a Traditional Melody and set it to their words making a very beautiful song this is not unusual and has been done to many other melodies. Nor have they stole it from someone else. Meav has produced a very beautiful song. This will go far in this form as with the album that was released last year. This year Meav has won best female Vocalist at the 2013 Irish Music Awards and I would not be surprised to see her nominated for best CD next year she is also high on various Bill Boards and is a top performer world wide.
To Meav:
Thank you for this lovely song. Your words are beautiful! We are all enjoying listening to your song every day here in our class as we work. We listen to all of your music and love it. We students and our teachers all agree that you are our favorite of all singers and artists. And, you are truly beautiful here.

Haunting beautiful, sung by lovely Meav Ni Mhaolchatha, just voted the 2013 Best Female Vocalist by the Irish Music Association! Much for her many fans around the world to celebrate! Taste percussion by former Celtic Woman percussionist Nick Bailey, I would be remiss not to add!

This is what is said and is to the point.
Meav has done a Beautiful Rendition as the Calling.
Wrong! The words existed in traditional songbooks in Portugal, but the melody belongs to José Afonso! So, Unfortunately, this is plagiarism of the original song "Tu Gitana" by José Afonso. Listen to it and you'll see. Credit where credit is due! Maev should seek copyright licence
Her voice just takes you to the heaven, one of my all time favourite musics
just like anything and everything else I have ever heard from Meav....ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU MEAV.....
It's only recently that I discovered Celtic Woman, and Meav is I think my most favorite among all, though I appreciate and like all of them.
To those of you who have posted negative remarks about this song. The words are written by Meav and her producer. Get your facts straight. Meav it is wonderful and definitely you. Congratulations on winning the IMA award. You truly deserve it.
The words, yes. But what about the music? Do you mean anyone can write some lyrics for one of Chopin's nocturnes and say it's theirs??
Just now came across this song - stunning performance!
It is a show-through singing voice like come soaked in mind.
I became hooked. From Japan.
Wow, she passes through ranges really well. From sopano to alto is no easy task.
Meav's songs are the best!!
Meav's voice touches the soul need not close his eyes
Beautiful. Just such a beautiful interpretation. I recognize the melody from the Galician group Luar na lubre which I also love.
You only recognise it because Luar na Lubre made a cover, and assumed it as such, of José Afonso's "Tu Gitana" Unfortunately, this is plagiarism of the original song "Tu Gitana" by José Afonso. Listen to it and you'll see. Credit where credit is due! Maev should seek copyright licence
Gleoite! So proud to know you! Bravo Bravo!!!!
This reminds me of when I first heard "Carribean Blue" by Enya. Such a beautiful woman, I hope she goes on tour soon!
Meav. Thank you. Your voice helps brighten up dark winter days. :)

i just can't stop listening to this. It is so angelic and enchanting.
beautiful!
if I can buy the cd in Holland, I absolutely will do that
This went straight into my Meav playlist.
What a true angel voice. How emotional this music is. I see in my imagination the green meadows of Ireland, the beautiful and rough cliffs.
This is really music to dream away.......
Oh so beautiful - and that applies to both the song and to Méav
Beautiful Song sung by a beautiful singer!!!
The more I hear this beautiful song, the more dearly I love you, Méav. Your lovely voice truly touches the heavens above with sweetness. Thank you for showing us all the beauty in song. You are lovely here and the words and the melody are so pretty.
Absolutely beautiful in both sight and sound!
How is it humanly possible that your voice has grown even more gorgeous and your countenance even more beautiful ? Your classiness is can only be exceeded by yourself. It is a breathtakingly haunting song. It whets my appetite for more. I heard it said that " appreciation makes what is excellent in others ours as well " . That's as close as I will get to the greatness you naturally exude. Thank you Sweet, Beautiful Meav for sharing yourself with the world. We are better for it .
Méav, you voice is wonderful, congratulations forma Chile
One of the most beautiful voices I ever heard.
Beautiful 😍 beyond the words!
THANK YOU for beautiful music
Thanx from all of us Meaviacs.
Pure Celestial Magnificence.
best song i've ever heard
Have followed Méav for a few years now. Wonderful range and ability. Her efforts on the Celtic Woman Christmas album of 2012 are amazing - so, don't be foolish and miss it!!! Sincerely enjoying her new work and in anticipation of the entire CD. Congratulations to all those involved. Not only is the vocal arrangement beautiful but the instrumentals are outstanding as well. Well done. More please! ;)
Lovely. Can't wait to add this album,. So peaceful and enchanting.
I just got the CD "The Calling". Awesome, awesome!! Love it! :-) If you haven't ordered it yet, order it. You'll love it too. Got mine early through PBS.
my favourite
Marvelous Maev! Same Angelic voice as of years ago, which still gives me goose bumps!
what a lovely voice! meav: awesome in celtic woman,and awesome now!
Many say your voice is Angelic. It's true. Also, no one can hit a note perfectly without slurring like our beloved Maev. Can't wait to get "The Calling".
The beautiful melody ....thx!
Brilliant rendition. Cannot wait to hear the whole album. Welcome back Méav
beauthiful woman arround the world. my heart in for these..thank you-...
It's beautiful Meav. Thank you.
很美的噪音，好聽，謝分享。
Just Brilliant! So proud of you Meav. Thank you for this wonderful song. Wishing you all the success. You deserve it. It has been an honor to follow you and share your music all these years.

celticmeavSANDY
Just beautiful, Méav!! So very very proud of you and your brilliant work. Thank you for this lovely song...the words and melody are so pretty. Wishing you every happiness. Thank you for being the wonderful inspiration that you have always been to me and the little ones that we love so dearly., Thank you for sharing your beautiful music with us.
Congratulations Meav. Looking forward to your concert on Wed 23rd Oct in the Sugar Club, Dublin to launch your new album The Calling!
To know the old “Tu Gitana” song (XVI century), type (on Google) “musica no tempo das caravelas uff”, and then choose track 3. Totally different from “The Calling”, music or lyrics, but it’s her grandmother! Congratulations to Méav for her classy English lyrics, but if you believe the music is traditional why is it not credited as such, just like “Shenandoah” and three other songs in her album, but instead claimed by Craig Leon and Cassell Webb?
we all are older and its natural process, and there is only ona direction... death waiting... but Meav by she's music is... true immortal
Best song ever
Amen Sandy! Well said my friend.
Beautiful, dreamy song. I can't wait to hear the album.
It's absolutely amazing
Oh my God 😍 So much beautiful!
