The CD release event takes place Friday January 16 at 7:30 pm, at Celtic Junction is Saint Paul. By the way, Canadh Croí is the capitol of Guinea, from which two group members hail, and in the Irish tradition, Canadh Croí means, roughly, “singing of the heart.” When the convener of the group, Sean Egan talked to Phil Nusbaum about this fusion music, Sean first addressed how he got the idea that Celtic and African musical concepts could be combined.
