This week, we're going to explore one of the world's most endearing and popular musical genres: Celtic music. The influence of harps and pipes and jigs and reels is felt far beyond their roots in the British Isles and Northern Europe. We'll transverse most of the Seven Celtic Nations and venture beyond, for music with that Celtic lilt, from Africa, Italy, Canada, and Spain.
