Afro Celt Sound System

The Afro Celt Sound System are a musical group which attempts to fuse modern dance rhythms (trip-hop, techno, etc) with Celtic and African influences without overwhelming either. Formed by Grammy-nominated producer Simon Emmerson[?], it is somewhat of a world music super-group[?], featuring such artists as

1. N'Faly Kouyate (kora, balaphon[?], vocals)
2. Moussa Sissokho (djembe[?], talking drum[?])
3. James McNally[?] (ex-Pogues; Bodhran, accordion, whistle)
4. Iarla O'Lionaird (vocals)
5. Myrdhin (Breton harp[?])
6. Martin Russell (keyboards)
7. Davy Spillane[?] (uilleann pipes)
8. Ronan Browne (uilleann pipes)

In 2003, Afro Celt Sound System changed their name to the simpler Afro Celts.

Albums to date:

1. Volume 1: Sound Magic (1996)
2. Volume 2: Release (1999)
3. Volume 3: Further in Time (2001)
4. Seed (2003)
