Description
Sleepsongs, an album of Suantrai: traditional Irish lullabies and songs relating to sleep from the 14th century to the present day, is once again available after a long absence from the catalogue.
Join Dulra for a beautiful and dreamlike journey to the kingdom of sleep, a realm where mothers sweetly lull their infants to rest, faeries carry of babies to magical forests and mythic heroes wrestle through the night as they await their fate. Dulra brings a new sound to traditional Irish music with influences from early music, contemporary classical and world music styles.
"This music is a special genre of vocal art, called sean-nos…in this type of singing O'leary is a master" General Anzeiger, Germany
"As we listen we become possessed by the fascinating charismatic singer Caitriona O'Leary with her angelic and ethereal voice" Crescendo Magazine, Germany
