Village of the Sun - FIRST LIGHT - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Grand Ulena - Neosho [COMPACT DISCS] Extended Play date 11/04/2003

Two of today's most gifted young Peyote singers present the distinct singing traditions of the Dine/Navajo and Kiowa peoples for their first time in a single collection. Traditional gourd and water drum are enhanced by exquisitely layered vocal harmonies to create these songs of encouragement, balance and harmony.

Five years after their critically-acclaimed debut Tripswitch, John McSherry (uilliean pipes), Donal O'Connor (fiddle, keys), Francis McIlduff (bodhran, whistles)-three of Celtic music's most virtuosic instrumentalists-reunite again as At First Light and deliver one of the year's most exciting neo-traditional albums. Through masterful musicianship, the trio explores fresh perspectives on the living tradition in Irish music. Their album is aptly titled IDIR-Gaelic for between and among-and reflects the trio's growing status as leading luminaries on the international stage.
