Just the opposite for me: A good example of Celtic-style music that just rubs the wrong way.

but i think its the manic instruments universally on the top of these tracks by Hevia that made me eventually sell back two of their albums. once again i find i love what's going on in the background with this one, but the foreground is like dragging a paperclip across my eyeballs.
This is in the same 'fusion' stable as Afro-Celt Sound System, a melange of world influences with a core of Celtic sounds. I can hear digeridoos and Middle Eastern and African rhythms in the background of this. 7 from the Nottingham jury, likely rising on further listening...

I don't think there's enough variance in this genre to allow for too many acts. Afro Celt does this stuff better, and even a lot of their work sounds a little too similar at times...
Wow, I love the album cover. It's so tastefully designed. You can see a lot of effort went into that one.

I'm all for world music, fusion, experimentation, etc.--but too many ingredients in this melting pot ruins this soup for me.

The guy on the cover looks like Brad Pitt.
Sounds like the background music in EPCOT at Walt Disney World just before Illuminations begins.
For that reason I like it. Makes good background music.

worth listening too!

I think that there may have been several notes played there which normally would have pleased my ear, but unfortunately they were mis-arranged. No more than a 3 on a good day.
Erk, I'm good with most of it except for that bassline

fun!For the first second i thought this was Bananarama.. clearly I was mistaken! :)
hehehhehhe 
This is used in the musical prelude to the Epcot fireworks show. I remember tapping my foot to the music.
Meh.
what can one say, but, HUH?
hmm, i was just logging in to say... this band sounds like a mellowed-down version of afro celt sound system.
does rp ever play them?

I totally agree. But you should do automatic monthly payments for RP. I do - no money better spent. Wish I could contribute more.
ps. so weird to see my name all over the place
I don't know why, but I love it!

I haven't been here (at RadioParadise) for awhile - I discovered www.pandora.com and have been playing with building my own radio stations. Funny, though - what I hear there, I've already heard here, numerous times.
RadioParadise, you're still cutting edge. Thanks for all your hard work, and for all the great music. You rock... and sway, and swim, and fly, and transcend...

yep. nuttin new here. sounds just like all the rest of the "world beat" easy-listening-electronica bunk to me - Delirium, Lost at Last, Enigma, Deep Forest, ACSS, etc etc etc... the whole schtick has been old and played out since the early 90s.

... or the giant bong, as the case may be.
Is this Celtic and Middle Eastern instrumentation with Hindu-chant words from India (thought I heard Rama repeatedly)?
I like the Celtic/Middle-Eastern instrumental liaison. I am still deciding about the lyrics--maybe that makes it too eclectic . . .
Holy shit, I thought this was gonna be the Afro-Celts!
This almost sounds Irish. Like Irish on craic!

:roll:
This is not a didj, but he does play it on another track - "Busindre Reel"
BOW BEFORE THE DIDJERIDU !!!
gotta love the Spanish bagpipes - and this reminds me of Kila, as well...
This one'll get your heart pumping!
Fun!
Dancin Leprechauns !
WoW!

Shari, you HAVE checked out Afrocelts (a.k.a. Afrocelt Sound System), I hope. If you like this genre, you will like them. Also check out Kila. I really like the Celtic stuff, too, and am a BIG fan of Afrocelts.

Sorry to say that Hevia is not a very good example of the Celtic tradition, since he became famous for introducing some kind of "electronig-bagpipe-sound" instrument into his music. Weird, isn't it?
Carlos Nuñez is an interesting Celtic bagpiper, if you want to check it out.
Thanks for the tip, although I realize Hevia is "celtic" in a similar way to AfroCelts, just one element in a bright eclectic world fusion weave. It may start on a Headland in Spain, but moves on to Mountains in Morocco and on around the world, and further back in time, with the didg echoing a Stone age sound from one of the few cultures to preserve one.

Since I uploaded it, thought I might introduce it. Hevia is Jose Angel Hevia Velasco, a Spanish bagpiper from the rather little known Celtic tradition of Asturias. I tend to think of it as "rockin'-out-around-a-fire-on-a-headland-or- mountaintop" music. :)

It's strange to hear this in an american radio, but much better than many other spanish music you use to hear (Macarena, Asereje,...)

Pretty good, thanks philarktos. I like Busindre Reel better though.

Great description, and cool song. Thanks.

Same for me. I do not enjoy bagpipe music as a rule. All due respect to the artist, who clearly has talent, but this is like fingernails on a blackboard to me.
