Thistle & Shamrock for October 20, 2007
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "What in the World?"
21st century contemporary Celtic music may take in Balkan tunes, African percussion, and Latin rhythms. Does it all simply boil down to world music soup, or is this cutting edge Celtic? Decide for yourself as we circumnavigate the globe with Sharon Shannon, La Bottine Souriante, Tony McManus and other favorites.
Viewing her program as an on-air community, Fiona Ritchie has created a gathering place for anyone who enjoys music from Celtic roots, and loves to accompany her across the bridges she builds between the traditional and the contemporary, between Celtic music and the world.
The object of international critical acclaim, Thistle comes to listeners from Perthshire in the heart of Scotland, where Ritchie weaves the textures of her musical world into a richly entertaining program. Step into the heart of an ancient tradition of reels, jigs, ballads, and laments. Then follow the pulse towards new music: an exuberant blend of irresistible rhythms, emotional voices, and fascinating instruments.
