This piece sounds just like any other African song played here in the Global Mix (they all sound  more or less the same ) and just when I was about to skip it I remained very surprised to see it was an Irish group! 
As a matter of fact under the name of Global Mix I had expected a more diversity of countries and continents like from the rest of Europe ( Central and South / South -East Europe) and Latin America. The Global Mix seems to be dominated by Africa and Asia. 
Lyrics:

Ná bí ag troid liom anois
Nó ní do namhaid mé;

Ná bí ag troid liom anois
Tuigfidh tú sa deireadh thiar thall nach do namhaid mé

Ó taobh tuathail amach
Níor mhaith liom troid arís
Ón taobh tuathail amach

Mar throid mé liom féin
Throid mé le Dé,
Throid mé le mo shaol
Agus throid mé léi
Throid mé le mo chéile,
Throid mé é'
Throid mé chomh minic sin gur chuir mé
Eagla orm féin.

Na cuir ag troid mé arís
Ní chun mo leasa é
Ná cuir ag troid mé arís
Mar níl aon fhonn orm an t-anam atá agam
A chur amú I mo shaol.

Ó taobh tuathail amach
Níor mhaith liom troid arís
Ón taobh tuathail amach

Ó, in ainm Dé
Coinnigí an tsíocháin,
Déanfaidh muidne fás I ngach aon slí
Coinnigí an tsíocháin,
Tá dóthain le déanamh cheana féin;
Coinnigí an tsíocháin,
Tá athrú ar an domhan amuigh le déanaí
Coinnigí an tsíocháin
Sara nglacann muid an dara céim.

Ó taobh tuathail amach
Níor mhaith liom troid arís
Ón taobh tuathail amach

Just a thought. This is on the "Eclectic Mix".  In my humble opinion, all the mixes on RP are eclectic...which makes it Electically (new word) AWESOME!


OK.   Works for me!  GREAT TUNE!   Thanx RP!  
GREAT TUNE! The more I hear it, the more I like it.  Thanx RP!

Kila at Africa Day Festival 2008  by D.S.B




Kila's music is almost as bad as their politics

This is the first track I ever heard from this band and absolutely fell in love with them. This is my upload to the LRC and it was immediately added (much to my surprise). When this comes up on my iPod when I'm walking, it's damned difficult to not start dancing down the street.
All you in RP land who complain about the AfroCelts not being Celtic enough: I don't wanna hear a peep out of you here!
Irish, reggae, Hawaiian music????
This has all the soul you could ever want if you just open your ears. Or your mind. joanie wrote:
You're making it easy to finally go to bed. The music is lacking a bit of the usual soul tonight.

What's going on here? Where is Paul Simon when you really need him? If you'll be my bodyguard...

King Sunny meets Jools ! woot!

Bill: Hey.. Way too long since you played this music. Finally back :) Please, any posibility for hearing other songs from this cd (band)? Please?

Judging by their Wiki entry, it's Gaelic.
I'm likin' it!
