Rachel and Dray pick five acts capturing a changing idea of Irish identity. From sean-nós and ancient keening to internet rap, electronic experimentation and massive trad sessions, these artists prove there’s no single way to sound Irish anymore. The common thread? Taking where we’ve come from and making it feel completely of the moment. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
