Got an interesting message from Jennifer of World Music News Wire. Here is one interesting site if you want fresh news on what’s happening around  in terms of World Music. MY friend once corrected me that it is World Beat (a.k.a format). But I don’t really think so. Some of the World Music I heard doesn’t really require beats. Anyway,  I got this interesting article about Altan which I’d say is beautifully written(picture courtesy of the site):

Ireland’s Gift to the World: The Celtic Masters of Altan Celebrate a Quarter Century of Tradition and Innovation

While checking the links, I also bumped into this blogger from Galicia. I have covered anything Galician in this site and I am glad to read something from a person who is literally from there. Politics, music(mostly) and day-to-day events can read here:

..And finally Anne Roos whom I covered here is showcasing her Renaissance Fair performance. Check more of the lovely pictures here:

From Celtic to Led Zeppelin:The Elevating Harp Music of Anne Roos

Unknown to some, there is a part of me that also digs rock. So when I heard Anne Roos play The Unforgiven by Metallica and Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, my interest was piqued. On an ocassional observer, she may impose an airy fairy image perfect for Renaissance Fair. But this lady in not one-dimensional. Apart from being an accomplished harpist with formal training, she has also written books under her belt.
Her music is in demand in the wedding circle . Her books are sought after by musicians who want to make their careers playing in wedding receptions. Apart from being technical, she is also instinctive.And she can take a joke.I have heard most her songs in her MySpace page and I tell you, this is something that you will not want to miss. This is not elevator music but rather elevating music.You can also get a glimpse of her books that are accompanied in the CDs. They are perfect companion to your coffee table
Check out samples on her music as well as videos here:
