If I was a sports coach or manager I would make my team watch this … and other transatlantic sessions ensembles. World class performers all trying to make each other sound even better and produce the ultimate sound. Incredible telepathy and unspoken teamwork going on throughout.. and not an ounce of ego!
That’s a brilliant idea. A team of all stars, just getting into a grove together, playing as a team, nobody shines, the song does. And it turns out unbelievably amazing
Man, this version is so gorgeous. I've seen people say that Big Country is close to the perfect song, but I think Falani is much closer. Just something about how everything fits together and the simplicity. This song just makes me feel... Nostalgic.
Love it, one of the best. I love who everyone is so supportive of each other , the duck in and duck out to give each other time to shine , no one dominates , no one steps on each others toes, everyone takes the time to let the music breathe. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Something magical is created in every one of these transatlantic sessions
Dontcha just love the way these instruments , these seemingly distantly related instruments, just blend in so beautifully? A tribute to the musicians playing them... Love it , long live Transatlantic Sessions!
elizadavies69 This is cut from Transatlantic Sessions #5. The transatlantic sessions are a set of videos mixing world renown bluegrass/country players with renown scottish/irish traditional players and they do various mixes of their songs in a bluegrassy/gaelic trad. style.
Doesn't get any better than this. Wow, what a group of aficionados, Bela, Sam, Aly, & forgive for not remembering the other great musicians. In almost every session on the Trans Atlantic recordings they seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. Of course, Jerry Douglas is the greatest dobro player in the world.
We Americans have a lot to thank the Scottish and Irish bringing their musical traditions to the US. I am very proud of my Scottish roots through my paternal grandmother, born and raised in the mountains of North Carolina. They have had a long tradition of passing the music down from generation to generation.
@elizadavies69 It is from the "transatlantic sessions" season 5 episode 1. the sessions are held every year. the best traditional folk, Celtic, and bluegrass players gather and play together for the bbc. The song is called Falani.
@flecktonesrock fleckstonerock is right - this video is not of Béla's 'Big Country' I've no idea what this video is from either. Some details would be nice so I can hunt the dvd. /fingerscrossed

Exactly!" Perfect teamwork and probably on the first take.

Jesus, what a spectacular piece of music. Bravo to Bela and his friends in getting this down for us.
The face of the bass player says everything.
DANNY THOMPSON from PENTANGLE!!! Love this!!!!!!!
Bela Fleck, junto a un numeroso grupo de leyendas de la música celta. Impresionante.

I spotted Andy Irvine on Mandolin and Danny Thompson on bass as well. Both legends in their own right! What an incredible line-up of musicians!!

This is what happiness sounds like.
Great team of musicians! Love this!❤️❤️❤️
The soundtrack of my heart
Unbelievable - I may start playing again!
Sun shining, front porch sitting, toe tapping, lemonade sipping, can't help but smiling kind of music. ❤
As I have gotten older, I have embraced the idea that being an ensemble member is more gratifying than being a soloist.
best version by far takes you there
Bela Sam and Jerry. The goats.
Brandon Collier so fucking jelly that this is just on tv over there
My word… fantastic
