AUKSO x Shannon/Let's Play Green

The Celts inhabited theareas of modern Poland long before the birth of Christ. Following the international successes and listening to the stylish sound of the Shannon group, one would think that they had never left this corner of Europe. The work of the band, which gives hundreds of concerts every year throughout Europe (the rarest probably in Poland), is considered by connoisseurs of Irish and, more broadly, Celtic music, to be one of the most interesting proposals of its modernized sound today. Where is Rome and where is Crimea — you may ask. Where is Dublin and where is Katowice? Well, Celtic roots have a lot of American genres, and thus — contemporary popular music. It was also the Scots and Irish who were the first to show in the middle of the 20th century that experimenting with tradition could be the way to the future (who among us did not listen to the band Clannad), and became the inspiration for the birth, among others, of Polish folk (after all, the Slavic Jorgi Quartet started playing Irish melodies in the eighties). So we're all a bit of musical Celts.
