LORCAN MACMATHUNA - ROGAIRE DUBH - CD - CD World

Information

'Rógaire Dubh' is an innovative and sensitive approach to Traditional Irish Sean-Nós Singing. It comprises ten tracks, eight of which are accompanied by new musical arrangements sympathetic to the tradition.

Lorcán MacMathúna is a Dubliner who has an intimate understanding of this music's place in the Irish tradition, but he can also present it in a way that reveals its sensuous passion to a modern audience.

With a mission to reveal the hidden music that is contained in this (usually unaccompanied) singing form, Lorcán is joined by musicians of the calibre of Mick O'Brien and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, who need no introduction. Also joining him on this CD are: Jane Hughes (cello), Helen Lyons (harp) and Conor Lyons (bodhrán).
