If you are a true Celtic music fan, then I am sure you’re aware that Anuna’s new album has dropped. There is also a new music video featuring Michael McGlynn and his haunting sean nos singing style. The aspect I love about Traditional Irish music and Celtic music, in general, is its elemental aspect. The spirit of that music lives in nature, in the rushes, the river, the trees’ leaves, and the mists. This music video captures that spirit. There are no gimmicky things here. Just a pure representation of the atmosphere of what Lagan Love is. Although 

According to Wikipedia:

My Lagan Love” is a song to a traditional Irish air collected in 1903 in northern Donegal.

The English lyrics have been credited to Joseph Campbell (1879–1944, also known as Seosamh MacCathmhaoil and Joseph McCahill, among others).[1] Campbell was a Belfast man whose grandparents came from the Irish-speaking area of Flurrybridge, South Armagh. He started collecting songs in County Antrim. In 1904 he began a collaboration with composer Herbert Hughes.[2]. Together, they collected traditional airs from the remote parts of County Donegal.

I love listening to Anuna because they bring something different to Choral music. It’s how they arrange the music they sing how a slight shift in the notes and the scales can add a different flavor to the traditional tune. I am reminded of the vocal Jazz group Manhattan Transfer for that exact vocal harmony arrangement when I listen to them. I am not a jazz expert, but I hear a faint trace of blue notes in their recordings. And this characteristic is what makes them unique and refreshing.
