[USED] Rough Guide to Celtic Women (with bonus CD)

A groundbreaking compilation album that brings together female Celtic singers from all over Europe and America!

Celtic music has become a winter staple without us even realizing it. "Celtic Christmas" is a popular song for Christmas, and since the mid-2000s, the Irish female group Celtic Woman has gained explosive popularity in Japan, opening the door to Celtic music for light listeners. This work, which is likely to be a guide to the depths of Celtic music for such music fans, is introduced today. Released by "Rough Guide," which is already familiar to everyone involved in world music. It's called Celtic Women!

When we think of Celtic music, we tend to reflexively think of Ireland, but as fans know, it's not limited to that. It is said that the Celts originally expanded their sphere of influence throughout Europe and built the foundations of European culture. However, they were gradually pushed to the periphery of Europe by other ethnic groups. Their descendants have passed on their culture to the UK, particularly Ireland and Scotland, as well as to Brittany in France and Galicia in Spain. Many immigrants from the Celtic regions of the UK have also emigrated to North America, where they have developed their own unique Celtic music. This album brings together female singers (or groups with female singers at the front) who perform Celtic music from each region.

The album includes a wide range of artists, from familiar names to Irish music fans such as Caperkeley (7) and Sharon Shannon (4), to Cécile Corbel (11) from Brittany, who became famous after singing the theme song for the movie "The Secret World of Arrietty," a supergroup of famous Irish singers (14), and a Galician bagpipe player (6). The bonus CD, as always, is an edited version of a veteran singer (15) who is leading the Canadian Celtic music scene. The album is easy to get into as all the tracks feature female vocals. Of course, if you listen to this, you will understand that Celtic music is not just for winter music.
