Description
Lunasa's highly anticipated release, "The Merry Sisters Of Fate" is another jewel in their crown. A fantastically inventive and supremely talented group of musicians, fiddler Sean Smyth, flautist Kevin Crawford, bassist Trevor Hutchinson, guitarist Donogh Hennessy and uillean piper Cillian Vallely have earned rave reviews worldwide. Lunasa is instantly recognizable whether the tune is traditional, borrowed or composed by the band. The pulsating rhythm section, dueling flute and fiddle, and impressive piping are as innovative as they are true to the tradition. The 11 instrumental tracks featured here are lush and sophisticated. Their follow-up to "Otherworld" (album of the year in both Irish Echo and Irish Voices) is certain to solidify their current standing as leaders of today's Irish music scene. Lunasa are the new Celtic royalty.
