Description :
This album will be a collection of traditional songs composed and written over the three last centuries, with topics that can be related to experiences of the past year in a poetic sense, arranged and performed by Dublin based duo VARO in collaboration with 12 other Traditional and Folk Irish Acts.
****************************
A message from VARO :
“We have never spent such a long amount of time without being able to play for and with other people. Sessions like McNeills, The Cobblestone, Walshe’s, where you go to play with your friends or just listen to them play over a pint were/are a very big part of traditional Irish music and an important part of our lives as traditional musicians.
After 3 months of lockdown, not knowing when this could happen again, we needed to find a way to create something but not only by making a new VARO album but by creating a context of musical encounters with people we used to share sessions with.
Also, the crisis that the world has gone through has had such a big impact on people’s lives, not only regarding work or wearing a mask but everything from the very basics of social life to the way society is being run. So we decided to do something that would bring us happiness in the making and that would be meaningful in the times we’re living. ”

I usually haaaate autotune voices, but done this way it's brilliant. When enough craftsmanship is used. Hard to pick a favourite from this great album. One of my favourites of the year! soundofperpetualastonishment

One of my favorite albums ever and I listen to it all the time, every song is beautifully made and I admire the songwriting. Way Up on the Mountain wrenches my heart in the best possible way, the blending and passion of these singers is something genuinely special. feathered_fingernail
