#AfroCeltSoundSystem is a collective of Celtic and African musicians formed in 1995, using traditional instruments from their respective ethnic homelands married with modern electronics, originally releasing records on #PeterGabriel’s #RealWorldRecords.
I don’t recall their first album making much of a splash, but this, their second, was everywhere for a minute, rising above the sea of #WorldMusic / #NewAge soup that sloshed about in the #90s, on the wings of #SineadOConnor's unmistakeable strong yet delicate vocals on the title track.
