Celtic

Celtic music is a genre characterized by its soaring vocals, lush harmonies, and instrumentation featuring traditional instruments such as the fiddle, tin whistle, and bodhran. Originating in the British Isles and Ireland, Celtic music has its roots in ancient folk traditions, evolving over time through various regional styles and influences. The genre gained widespread popularity in the 1960s and 1970s with the folk revival, and again in the 1990s and 2000s with the rise of new age and Celtic pop. Celtic music is deeply tied to the cultural heritage of its originating regions, often conveying a sense of mysticism and storytelling. Its unique blend of folk, classical, and pop elements sets it apart from similar styles, with a distinctive emphasis on vocal ornamentation, modal melodies, and driving rhythms. As a genre, Celtic music has influenced various other styles, including folk rock and world music, while maintaining its own distinct identity and emotional resonance.
