Altan stands as one of the foremost icons in traditional Irish music, with a legacy spanning over 35 years. Hailing from County Donegal, the band captivates audiences with their authentic Irish-language songs and vibrant twin-fiddling showcased in their recent album titled Donegal. This album features ten tracks that pay tribute to the rich musical heritage and stunning scenery of Donegal, transporting listeners to the charm of rural Ireland while bridging the gap between eras.
Recording was accomplished by Manus Lunny at Stiúidió na Mara (“Seafront Studio”) in County Donegal, effectively capturing the region's spirit that has inspired Altan since its formation, thus reinforcing their significance as cultural icons in Ireland.
Since their establishment in 1987, Altan has attracted a global audience and made a significant impact on the world of traditional Irish music, influenced by the vibrant tunes and songs of their homeland. The band has achieved remarkable success, selling over a million records throughout their career.
Altan will embark on a US tour in March, starting with performances in California on March 8th, with more dates to follow.
Donegal is now available through Compass Records.
