Blue is a River (TED)

With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner - it seems appropriate to share a beautiful song in a beautiful interpretation. I love Natalie MacMaster to pieces - she's such a wonderful artist (plus she's Canadian :)) And I love Celtic traditions - something draws my soul to their stories and legends and traditions.

So here you have it: a Celtic song in a Celtic interpretation! Enjoy!

P.S. Remember to check the Giveaway right here! Enter as many time as you can :)

  1. Hello!
    Splendid ! Wonderful !
    Ultima parte - cea "săltăreaţă"-- seamănă foarte mult, ca linie melodică, cu unele dansuri de pe la noi, din diverse zone : Moldova, Banat, Oltenia, Maramureş, etc.
    Ceea ce ar explica, parţial, afinitatea ta pentru cultura celtică : e ceva ce vine din vremuri pe care nu le putem preciza, defini, şi ies cumva în noi, şi ne răvăşesc cu ( aparenta) lipsa de logică a legăturilor.
    Ştii slabiciunea mea pentru culturile japoneză, engleză, peruană, maiaşă, incaşă, aztecă , deşi n-am trecut pe lângă locurile care le poartă nici măcar tangeţial-- dacă nu pun la socoteală ca am zburat cca o oră deasupra sud-vestului Angliei, acum 12 ani...
    Cine ştie ce purtăm în gene, în memoria ADN-ului...
    Mi-a plăcut muzica şi m-a întristat textul, dar m-am bucurat de minutele de frumuseţe oferite de cei doi.
    Mulţumesc şi mai aştept şi altele !

    1. :) My mom explaining why she thinks I am so in love with Celtic traditions. She believes there is something ancestral - and you know what? She's probably right!! I just got a book from the library about Celts and when they were one of the most powerful people of Europe they ended up everywhere, including what is now Romania (and Greece, France, Italy... everywhere!). Our old coutry songs are very similar to the Irish ones, and we use fiddles too :)
      So it might be some of our own ancestors were Celts.
