Synopsis

Product Description

Téada, now established as one of Irish music's leading exponents on the international world music stage, continues to be driven by a fascination with the timeless, expressive force of traditional tunes inherited from previous generations of musicians. Téada are Oisín Mac Diarmada, Paul Finn, Damien Stenson, Seán Mc Elwain, and Tristan Rosenstock. In Ceol & Cuimhne, the brilliant Irish band bring their own unique focus and trademark combination of youthful energy and old-school respect to explore how the collective memory of a people can be locked into its music, even music without words.

CD Reviews

Solid fiddle-dominated dance music from Sligo

John L Murphy | Los Angeles | 05/13/2010

(4 out of 5 stars)

""Téada" in Irish means strings, "ceol" music, and "cuimhne" memory. These three words sum them up: they play traditional sounds, they express their heritage. Yet, the music stays fresh.

Oisín MacDiarmada's fiddle heads this instrumental ensemble. As on his solo recordings, he blends regional trends, as liner notes document. This Sligo-based band stands at the crossroads between Galway and Donegal. They merge bolder Northern with softer Western approaches. For a non-Irish listener, fiddle-dominated Sligo sounds may seem familiar--its musicians emigrated to command dance halls abroad. This music tends towards a peppier high-stepping lilt.

Therefore, it's perfect for kicking your own feet up. It might have benefitted from more of Damien Stenson's flute to offset the reliance on fiddle with Paul Finn's accordion, but it's a sure-footed release from one of Ireland's top groups. Téada shows skill in straightforward, direct styles free of studio trickery or synthesized adornment, and for that, listeners will be thankful.
