Lankum - La Discografia (2004-2023)
Dal folk sporco e politico degli esordi, alle nebbie drone dell'ultimo esoterico album. Un racconto inaspettato.
Una delle traiettorie discografiche più inaspettate del folk contemporaneo, capace di rinnovarsi pura rimanendo ancorati alla tradizione irlandese. Complice di questo percorso incontri e influenze dalla scena irlandese e internazionale, ampliando un bagaglio culturale che nasce dall’urgenza politica militante, ma ben presto si tramuta in consapevolezza del proprio potenziale artistico.

‘The Pride Of Petravore’ demonstrates in microcosm the way Lankum are able to deftly navigate across several different musical strands. Their approach to music is playful, irreverent and experimental, unafraid to suck in influences from leftfield, but the sound they produce has an enormity and depth that can only come from a simultaneous respect for the long histories that many of their songs are rooted in. There are aspects of trad – which the band differentiate from the broader and more amorphous term ‘folk’ – that can be restrictive, but as Ian Lynch, who is also a researcher and lecturer in folklore, points out, that strictness need not be a bad thing. “In order for traditional tunes to be passed on, you do need in some way to have that kind of mindset,” he points out. When he was learning the pipes, he recalls, “they used to say, ‘Always be careful about the music you’re listening to. Don’t be listening to some modern player who’s gonna give you the wrong ideas.’ I hope if someone’s serious about learning traditional music, they’re not listening to us!”
Rather than presenting themselves as exemplars of that serious side, says Peat, “I like to think of us as a gateway.” Ian Lynch agrees. “I think it’s important to have bands who are in some way accessible, then once you’ve got used to those kinds of sounds you’re open to hearing stuff that’s straight-up tradition. It’s like that with any genre, whether you’re talking black metal, noise, or classical music, there’s the outer layer that you have to train your ears to.”

Lankum Launch American Tour on Saturday Night at Rough Trade NYC
As the traditional-folk quartet Lankum, Daragh Lynch (guitar and vocals), Ian Lynch (bagpipe, tin whistle and vocals), Cormac Mac Diarmada (fiddle and vocals) and Radie Peat (harmonium, accordion and vocals) employ four-part harmonies and a wide range of instruments to make a statement. Their second album, Between the Earth and Sky (stream it here), arrived late in 2017 to rave reviews. “Brilliant, raw, detonating folk,” said the Guardian. “There is folk that wants to whisper in your ear, and then there is the music of Lankum: urgent, desperate and detonating, full of lyrics and sounds smacking together like waves shattering stones in a storm.” The Dublin four-piece (above, performing “What Will We Do When We Have No Money”) kicks off an American tour on Saturday night at Rough Trade NYC.

The Mac Diarmada were the ruling dynasty of Magh Luirg (Moylurg; northeast Connacht) from the 10th to 16th centuries. A castle stood on this island from the 12th century: in 1184, the Annals of Loch Cé report that a lightning bolt caused a fire. A rebuilt castle featured in the final part of the 1235 conquest of Connacht by Richard Mór de Burgh, 1st Baron of Connaught. The castle came under siege, first by a raft-mounted catapult, and then by fire ships. Cormac MacDermott, King of Moylurg, was forced to surrender... #unesco #history #archaeology #archaeologist #ancient #archeologia #travel #ancientcity #discovery #follow #archeological #instalikes #instagood #amazing #likes #nice #photooftheday #travelingram #tourism #travelgram #instagram #bestoftheday #photoohistory #NYC #usa #археология #amazingplace #igersitalia #viagg #newyork (McDermott's Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWBMcCysJdS/?utm_medium=tumblr
