Limited Edition Classic Black Vinyl Altan is arguably the most iconic band working in traditional Irish music today. For the past 35 years, they have brought the music of their native County Donegal to the world stage. The band's newest album, aptly titled DONEGAL, pays homage to County Donegal's rich musical heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant culture. The music's authenticity and allure transport listeners to a bygone era in rural Ireland while forging a connection between the past and the present. Featuring co-founder, lead vocalist, and fiddler Mairéad Nà Mhaonaigh; newest member Clare Friel on vocals and fiddle; accordionist Martin Tourish; guitarists Dáithà Sproule and Mark Kelly; and Ciarán Curran on bouzouki and mandolin. With Jim Higgins (percussion), Steve Cooney (bass), and Graham Henderson (keyboards). Recorded by Manus Lunny at Seafront Studio in County Donegal, Ireland. DONEGAL captures the essence of the region that has inspired Altan since the band's inception and further cements Altan's legacy as one of Ireland's great cultural treasures.
