Irish Music Redefined, An Outsider's Viewpoint

Résumé

Over the past thirty years, Irish music has spread all over the world and, on a par with Irish literature in the twentieth century, has "put Ireland on the map". Celtic music festivals flourish in Tokyo or in Buenos Aires, Riverdance shows and their offshoots appear on several stages simultaneously, and hundreds of tourists invade Doolin's two main pubs every week for a little bit of "the pure drop". Perhaps guided by Conor Cruise O'Brien's powerful remark, this article proposes a starting point for the study of Irish music from an outsider's point of view: "There seems to be a curious delight in the feeling that the stranger knows far more than oneself and yet -being a stranger -understands nothing" .
