Abstract

"Dhá Leagan Déag: Léargais Nua ar an Sean-Nós" is a book that delves into the Irish-language song tradition, specifically the sean-nós style of singing. The book features essays that discuss the current state of this tradition, the challenges it faces, and the changes it has undergone in the 21st century. While the focus is primarily on the Conamara tradition, contributions from Gaelic Scotland and Nova Scotia are also included. The book explores recurring themes such as the critique of revivalist efforts, questions of authenticity and identity, and the impact of competitions like Oireachtas na Gaeilge. The reviewer praises the book for its valuable insights into the past, present, and future of this esteemed art form. [Extracted from the article]
