Afro-Celt Sound System
The Afro Celt Sound System are a musical group which attempts to fuse modern dance rhythms (trip-hop, techno, etc) with Celtic and African influences without overwhelming either. Formed by Grammy-nominated producer Simon Emmerson, it is somewhat of a world music super-group, featuring such artists as
- N'Faly Kouyate (kora, balaphon, vocals)
- Moussa Sissokho (djembe, talking drum)
- James McNally (ex-Pogues; Bodhran, accordion, whistle)
- Iarla O'Lionaird (vocals)
- Myrdhin (Breton harp)
- Martin Russell (keyboards)
- Davy Spillane (uilleann pipes)
- Ronan Browne (uilleann pipes)
In 2003, Afro Celt Sound System changed their name to the simpler Afro Celts.
Albums to date:
- Volume 1: Sound Magic (1996)
- Volume 2: Release (1999)
- Volume 3: Further in Time (2001)
- Seed (2003)
Afro Celt Sound System's albums have been produced and released by Real World Studios.
