Prachtige mix van salsa met keltische invloeden van de Schotse groep Salsa Celtica op hun 2013 release "The Tall Islands". Heerlijk om te luisteren en wellicht een enkel nummer ("Yo Me Voy parte II") voor de dansvloer, welke DJ durft het aan ?
Their fifth studio album, `The Tall Islands` further explores their unique combination of Afro Latin salsa and Celtic cultures with new material, composed and developed on a back-to -roots "village hall" tour of Scotland`s Highlands and Islands. This resulted in working with Scottish Gaelic song for the first time along with guajira, son and Afro Latin folkloric references, producing a final album that feels equally balanced between the two cultures. There are seventeen musicians on the album – with the usual international cast from Scotland, Cuba, Ireland, Argentina and England, including Gaelic speaking fiddler and singer, Megan Henderson, Cuban sonero and conga player, Ricardo Fernandez Pompa and Scottish piper, Ross Ainsley. Guests include the great Gaelic singer, Kathleen MacInnes, legendary London percussionist, David Pattman and Jarlath Henderson on uilleann pipes.
