Salsa Celtica: Great Scottish Latin Adventure [Import]

From Rhythm Magazine
On paper, the idea of blending Celtic reels and jigs with pulsating Latin rhythms seems far-fetched, but to the credit of this hybrid Scottish-Latin American ensemble, they pull it off superbly. Their ground-breaking debut CD, Monstrous Y Demonios, Angels and Lovers, set both Latin and Celtic aficionados on their ears, and the group's concerts in Scotland, Ireland, England and Cuba have been phenomenal. Their new album is equally spirited and tasteful.Like a good recipe, Salsa Celtica's music is about subtleties; the innovative group gingerly melds traditional Irish and earthy Latin chants with sizzling rhythmic grooves. The mid-tempo "Rumba Escocia/Cro Chinn T-Saile" features delectable bagpipe augmentation, while "Milonga for Iona" interweaves Irish folk textures with salsa. The exploratory "Carnoustie" and "Estrellita Celta" test the boundaries of this cross-cultural concoction.

Amazing Cuban Scotttish Mix of Salsa & more.......2006-03-20

I've seen this band twice live and they are amazing. This CD is a great introduction to their music which beautifully fuses traditional scottish instruments like the bagpipes with cuban rhythmes. You can't sit still.

Hot Salsa.......2001-03-20

This is a very good Salsa album, but any Celtic influences are barely noticable with the exception of a bagpipe lick here and there. Very Cuban in flavor with hot, driving rhythms. (And I know they're not singing in Gaelic.)
