You should check out a cd called "From Dublin to Dakar", it has excellent liner notes detailing the migration-derived legacy of the Celts...and cool Celtic music from all over too, btw. |

| Stingray | Posted: Oct 06, 2012 - 07:14 There are many Celtic settlements along the Spanish coast. It's highly probable that they would have mixed culturally with Africans during this period before the rise of Rome. Africans?? Africans along the Spanish coast before the rise of Rome (when 700 BC/Romulus? Or 500-1000 years later?) Around 700 AD (only East-Rome existed at the time) Africans (Berbers mostly - folks one can hardly call "Africans" in a historical context) conquered big parts of Spain (before they were driven out again, ca. 1500 AD) - that much is true, but what it has to do with a timing you call "before the rise of Rome"...? So tell me what AFRICANS shall have mixed with the Celts during the period "before the rise of Rome"...?

| wlpendley (New Mexico) | Posted: Apr 27, 2012 - 17:59 I just tried to buy this with the iTunes link from RP & it failed — perhaps the RP link needs an update from "AfroCelts" to "Afro Celt Sound System" per iTunes listing? |
| WhiteWater (right where you are sitting now) | Posted: Feb 24, 2012 - 11:03 For some reason the vocals here remind me of Chris Squire's album Fish Out of Water. |
| whomhow (changeable) | Posted: Jan 23, 2012 - 15:22 I can't explain it, but I feel all their music as profanation, though it sounds good. |

| michaelc (Walnut Creek, CA) | Posted: Dec 09, 2010 - 14:46 I really liked this I even bought the CD. but alas it is starting to wear a little on me. Amazing how fast that can occur. |
| kaybee (Lost in the Wilds of Toronto) | Posted: Nov 11, 2010 - 19:08 While I enjoy "world" music, usually conglomerated stuff like this makes me roll my eyes (while at the same time bopping along to the rhythm). However, the Celtic/Afro/Indian fusion here seems to work really well. This album may be yet another purchase caused by RP!  |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Nov 07, 2010 - 20:01 Loves me my AfroCelts - such an innovative blend of styles and cultures.  |

The band really is a unique experiment, kicked off by Peter Gabriel's record label and with his collaboration (he guests on one album), with a pretty much unique sound. They do represent the highly eclectic diversity of modern Scottish music, which mixes and melds musical styles from all over the world with traditional Scottish sounds - other fusion examples are Salsa Celtica and the Peatbog Faeries, to mention but two. The ACSS will likely dissolve in the near future (see the Wikipedia entry) and hasn't released an album for 3 years, but the band will be very fondly remembered. They do cracking live gigs, too. |
