Kila - Tóg É Go Bog É '1996

Tracks list

       Overview
In the tradition of Mouth Music, the Afro Celt Sound System, and, to some
degree, Capercaillie, Kila blends Celtic folk music with Afro-European rhythms;
the band has achieved huge success in Ireland, where this album achieved gold
record status. And it's pretty easy to see why: the combination of Irish
melodies and Afrobeat rhythms is a winning one, and Kila's approach is unique
enough for the band to stand out in an increasingly crowded field. They're far
more traditional in orientation than Mouth Music ever were; the electric guitars
and exotic percussion are there to serve the tunes, not the other way around,
and their sound is much more down to earth than that of the famously slick
Capercaillie. Singer Ronan O'Snodaigh has a truly unique voice, and he uses it
to good effect on the lovely "Bi Ann" and the title track; there are also lots
of great instrumentals, mostly taken at mid-tempo with fretless electric bass
and African percussion percolating along underneath. If you're looking for
something a bit different in traditional Irish music, this band is for you.
