To clear up people’s confusion about this band’s sound, Fíanna Bán (Irish for White deer) does not claim to be traditional Irish music. They take inspiration from multiple cultures across the northern hemisphere. The “Norse sound scape” they create is actually from the rhythm of Native American style frame drums and rattles. In contrast the indigenous frame drum of Ireland we are use to hearing in Irish traditional music is called a Bodhrán. There is no evidence throat singing was used by Celtic peoples and only one vague source it may have been used by Norse Vikings and is most common in Siberian and central Asain cultures. The flute they play is called a Feadóg or penny whistle in English and is an indigenous Celtic instrument to the British Isles. The flute Melodie’s are very traditional in style. The vocal style is obviously modern and very inspired by Wardruna but does have origin in European folk singing if you go back far enough. The language they are singing in is Irish Gaelic natively called Gaelige Na hÉireann which is their indigenous language and is of the Gaelic branch of Celtic languages. The music videos use imagery and clothing inspired by Irish mythology. This band has their own unique artistic sound and aesthetic. If you want to hear traditional Celtic music only using indigenous Brittonic Melodies and instruments my song Dawns Y Telwyth Teg is my cover of a traditional Welsh march using Bodhrán, tambourine, Feadóg (we call Chwiban in Welsh) and Welsh bagpipes all these instruments have been historically played by the Celts

@@FiannaBanMusic I don't really see any celtic instrument besides the tin whistle, the codes you use in the video (dress, drums, etc) are very shamanistic, but in a siberian way. You also use throat singing, a technique present in few areas in the world, but the one you use is mainly used in Tuva, Altai, Mongolia and Siberia. So besides the lyrics being in gaelic, I don't see anything celtic here. It feels to me like Wardruna being called Viking music, even though Wardruna itself never claimed to be. That's why I'm curious to know in this case. (This has nothing to do with the music quality by the way, I'm just curious about what you mean when you speak about history and culture, when this video has nothing historically celtic, and almost nothing culturally)
@@matlachlannmacgregor-macle8735 It is Neither. If they are not aware of a link, they are not honest? FRENCH not Gaelic, Why not support the Gaelic language in France? Breton could do with some help
We never claimed to be. But living here long enough to want to help expand its culture, is that so bad? Now if you don't like it that's fine, but everything's been vetted by irish natives and done with the utmost respect. And definitely not a gimmick as we truley love this country, its people and its past. So we do this to honour it. Now if that's something that you can't stand and feel the need to throw in 20 comments insulting us, then we would highly suggest you get the sand out of your vagina and move on with your life. You'll feel much better letting people live their lives however they feel like as long as it doesn't impact you directly. Grá 😉💚

We should strive to make each other feel at home in their respective spaces, especially in marginalized communities like Pagans.) - Just Another Pagan 💜
what pagan religion do you follow? roman greek egyptian germanic gaelic Briton norse etc? The guy you are replying to is of Christian religious beliefs I'm Catholic personally but I'm not sure you cannot fathom the fact that the guys comment is a compliment? Noo matter the religious beliefs I'm honestly not sure why you've took offence to it to be honest. If a Muslim person said to me Allah has given you the gift of song I would say thank you but you've took ot too far for some reason
I'm an Irish American, slowly trying to to learn Gaelic. Something close to " vision of the witch" or " the wild "I think. I tried, I know a little but not fluent
I think Robert is referring to the name of the band. Fianna Bán. It is bán not ban. Bán is white. Fianna could be translated as warriors maybe, or a group that is fighting for something. The Fianna are a part of Irish mythology. Btw. Fia is also a deer and fianna is also the plural of deer, but I don’t think that is intended here, but it is up to the artists themselves, rather than me 😂
White deer is indeed the intended meaning of the name, hence our logo 🦌though bána would be more accurate in plural but sounded too banana 😄) The white deer in druidic beliefs was a spiritual guide to the orherworld and the white stagg a protector of that in between 🌀☘️🦌🎶
I was completely off track so! I am a native speaker of Irish 😊 ‘An Fia Bán’ would be a clearer title for an Irish speaker but a name is a name and everyone will get their own meaning from it. All the best 😊
Thank you so much 👏🏻🌀☘️🎶🦌 as we already do and manage everything ourselves there is no near future plan to add bandcamp to the list ... maybe some day 😊 for now you can still find us on any other major streaming platform and our physical album directly on our website
