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. Formed by Grammy-nominated producer Simon Emmerson , it is somewhat of a world music supergroup, featuring such artists as

1. N'Faly Kouyate (kora, balaphon , vocals)
2. Moussa Sissokho (djembe, talking drum)
3. James McNally (ex-Pogues; Bodhrán, 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; however, their latest album, POD, was released under the Afro Celt Sound System moniker.
