Loreena McKennitt - Lost Souls - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Exploring more traditional forms of Celtic music, Loreena McKennitt's brilliant 2024 The Road Back Home marks an inspired return to her roots. The album features 10 songs, including many pieces that date back to McKennitt's earliest days on the folk circuit and which have remained unrecorded until now. Although recognized today as a cultural cross-pollinator and a ground-breaking leader of the contemporary Celtic Music scene, McKennitt's journey began in the humble folk clubs and the nascent festival scenes of her childhood home in Western Canada.

Before the Ashanti region was annexed by the British in 1901, into what is now Ghana, it was one of the most powerful kingdoms of pre-colonial Africa, and music played a vital role in Ashanti society. The tracks on this 1979 Folkways range from genres found at the court of chiefs to highlife. Multi-level drum music predominates, but there are also other instruments and vocal numbers, especially by women.
