Celtic Music evokes endless emotion from the soul. I know I am not alone in feeling this way.
Celtic music is highly spirited on its own, but to someone with Celtic ancestry, it hits deep within the heart like a long lost memory. I always feel comfortable and relaxed when I hear the bagpipes. If it is the right tune, I am enticed to start dancing the fling.
You do not have to be Celtic to like Celtic music, nor do you have to like the traditional songs. I myself like all varieties of Celtic music. I adore the classic ballads sung by Charlie Zahm, and the animated style of the Wicked Tinkers and the Tartan Terrors. I even love Metallica’s cover of Whiskey in the Jar. I almost believe that one Celtic soul is connected to all others. How else is it that music alone can provoke such passion for places, people, and traditions one may not have ever personally experienced before?
Celtic music is spiritual in its own way. The soothing sounds of the Celtic harp provoke a feeling of being taken to another land, while the blood pumping resonance of the pipes & drums make you feel alive.
Celtic music adapts with the changing times, just as other parts of the culture does. The Celts continually reinvent themselves, yet remain consistent at the same time. Celtic music is diverse, but easily identifiable as Celtic because of its character. It comes in all genres: rock, jazz, folk, metal, new age, elemental, and the list goes on.
No matter what style of Celtic music you like or what musicians or instruments you favor, there is a type of Celtic music for just about everyone.
