When I got married on the beach, (February 2022) my wife and I put this song on after my good buddy was done officiating the service and we jumped in the ocean together. We're Swedish so the cold doesn't bother us. Everyone was dancing in the beach and we were married and swimming in the calm sea 🥰❤️
For those that are sceptic and celtic :), this tune was composed by a québécois, Simon Riopel from Gatineau. People there call it "la toune à Simon". Reels and jigs are the preferred traditional tunes in french Canada. French are good composers and good fiddlers. So are the immigrants and the first nations. Jean Carignan played before the Queen and learnt from listening to the greatest scottish and irish fiddlers ever. He played a concerto with Yehudi Menuhin. Congratulations to Imar. You're outstanding musicians. Tapadh leibh! Tha sibh gràinne-mullaich luchd-ciùil! Merci. Vous êtes des musiciens hors pair!
I heard Menuhin try to play Scots fiddle, in a very intimate setting. He'd recently taken lessons from the great Hector McAndrew for a TV series. I was attending a "smoker" during the Edinburgh Festival - a free stage in a courtyard where people could promote their shows. There must have been 20 people there. And suddenly Menuhin steps onto the stage. He said he wanted to try performing the music but as a beginner didn't feel he could ask people to pay. He was awful - he just couldn't loosen up enough to play traditional music and the result was wooden. Many classical musicians are great fiddlers, but not Menuhin. He did the same to Hot Jazz when he played with Grappelli. He loved both traditions, but just didn't understand how to play them...
@@tullochgorum6323 Thank you for your comments. Very interesting. Talking about the concerto, Menuhin and Carignan played at turns on différent music. That might explain what you are saying. Carignan on a music composed for him by André Gagnon for the occasion and Menuhin on, what seemed to me, a more classical music from his repertoire. Tioraidh!
@@grenierguy4652 Menuhin was an ever-present in Edinburgh where I was brought up. I knew a couple of people who studied with him - said he was a very lovely man but quite bonkers and had some dogmatic and extreme ideas about left hand technique. They both said they enjoyed their lessons but pretty much ignored everything he taught them...
Canada was made up of Scottish and Irish immigrants and has been for over 250 years. Many people of Cape Breton are fluent in Gaelic. We even have our own dialect of Gaelic: Canadian Gaelic
Yup - but this tune comes from the French Canadian tradition. This idea that there are "pure" national traditions doesn't hold up - people have been swapping good tunes for ever. Plus this group is a mix of Scottish, Manx, Irish and English musicians so it's already a fusion...
Yes, and Canada certainly isn't made up of only Scottish and Irish immigrants. There were the first nations people here before everyone. Then the Europeans came, and others from all over the world. Canada is a wonderful mix of hundreds of amazing cultures and traditions and the folk music of Canada is SO lucky to have benefitted from the diverse influences of all of them!
Celtic Canadians indeed, but afterwards in history at least , they have been chased south I thought , and they also speak a bit of french there, and they also play celtic music, they are called "les Cadjins" instead of "les Canadiens",
Always have had a want to visit Canada.. maybe my own Irish ancestors made their way there in times of hardship. Definitely on my list .. I'll visit ye all one day.. xx
Je kiffe grave, génial les gars!! j’essaie d’apprendre le premier morceaux, pas l’air trop difficile et peut-être le second, mais là un peu moins possible 😂
Jag vet inte var dom kommer ifrån. Härlig musik med en sättning som jag gillar. Jag tänker närmast på Bodhran och Uiieann pipe som för mig är keltiskt - irländskt. Fransktalande . Kanske Quebec som La Boutine Souriante
Je le passe en boucle. Bravo. J'adore Est-il possible de lire la 2ème partie en tablature pour mandoline accordée comme le violon ? Où trouver cette pépite ? Merci beaucoup et j'espère vous lire . Depuis Paris.
Wonderfull! I learned both tunes on tinwhistle, but cannot find the right key that you are playing in... Wich is the key of the uillean pipe chanter? Grts...
I can hear the bouzouki, it lists a fella playing bouzouki...but I am confused LOL ..that sure looks like only a 6 string acoustic GUITAR with capo..in the video?🤷♀️ hmm lol EDIT: WAIT, WAIT, NEXT VID I CLICKED ON CALLED "DEEP BLUE"...i answered my own question. It opens with that "most definitely a bouzouki, but just looks like a guitar". LOL!
The second part is in 7/8. Most part of the tune is 2-2-3, but there is a small part where they switch to 3-2-2. They also insert a bar of 16/8 right after 3:55.

Amazing how they were able to record the session entirely without microphones. And this room has got terrific acoustics.
But there was a microphone on the camera ;)🙃
Wow, you fellas got it together.

Your music is like directions home.
Absolutely wonderful and brilliantly played !
Absolute masterpiece. Love this.
C'est toujours intéressant à voir Amini.
Aussi, je propose que la titre n'est pas de la musique francaise on ce cas.
je m'excuse: dans ce cas
Moi, je suis écossais, donc ça n'a aucune importance.
Je le passe en boucle.
Bravo. J'adore
Est-il possible de lire la 2ème partie en tablature pour mandoline accordée comme le violon ? Où trouver cette pépite ?

Thanks Brecht! Both tunes are in A major. Ryan is just playing a D chanter :)
OH MYYY!
What's the time signature? I know it keeps changing and I think I heard some 7-counts in there but I honestly can't nail it down
I'm late seeing this comment, but yes the first section is in 4/4 and the second is in 7/8!
My sort of jam. Now Where's that bottle of bourbon :)
❤️❤️
5 handsome men playing folk music....what's not to love?
So if there's only four handsome guys, one of them is ugly right?
Ooooops, I meant 5....better learn how to count :D
Good
Can I have the violinist please? He looks ever so sweet.
Where can I buy your music???
Best band ever
I can hear the bouzouki, it lists a fella playing bouzouki...but I am confused LOL
..that sure looks like only a 6 string acoustic GUITAR with capo..in the video?🤷♀️ hmm lol
EDIT: WAIT, WAIT, NEXT VID I CLICKED ON CALLED "DEEP BLUE"...i answered my own question. It opens with that "most definitely a bouzouki, but just looks like a guitar". LOL!
Ye, Canadian Sunshine some other time - second part is pure bularian rachenica, 7/8 rythm, exactly as it is played traditionally.
ich liebe es
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Quick question: what's the time signature of the second part?
The second part is in 7/8. Most part of the tune is 2-2-3, but there is a small part where they switch to 3-2-2. They also insert a bar of 16/8 right after 3:55.
Comment to shove this back into the algorithm
Being from the Maritimes, this sounds like home.
Something tell me whats is the acordeon' Name? Is very Small!

Привет из России! Отлично играете, мужики)
Благодарность!
"Cute Air" Huh, Nice.

Incredible playing, but even more amazing than that, they got a concertina and a set of uilleann pipes to play in tune. Must be wizards or something.
❤❤❤❤❤❤🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Bromance vibe

Why not 😊
It is not the same signification !@@ketilliland
L"air mignonns = she has a cute look

“It’s cute” or “she’s cute”? Quebecois speakers help!
