Then, locate a different example of Celtic music
on YouTube. Briefly discuss biographical information for the
artist/group, with emphasis on the musical background of the artist.
Is your selected performance an example of traditional (acoustic instruments)
or contemporary (incorporates electric instruments and/or computers) Celtic
music? Support this discussion with references to specific musical
elements. Include a link to your selected musical example in the initial post.
