This is beautiful. How wonderful to see young Irish people who have a love of their own language. My Grandfather emigrated to Boston in 1910 from County Kerry. When another Irish man heard him speaking Irish to a friend on a street corner, he said, "Sure, that language is no good to you now, boy. Give it up." My grandfather clung to the Irish language all his life. It was like a life raft for him.
I'm so glad your Grandfather clung to his language. My husband's grandparents emigrated to the US from Norway as teenagers, and they only spoke Norwegian to each other. They felt that since they were in America, the children should speak English. Because of that, my husband only knows one Norwegian prayer and a few other Norwegian words. It's sad really.
Absolutely wonderful to see young people so much into preserving their heritage, culture, music and language. We have a very similar situation in Wales and there are those who insist on trying to undermine our progress. I'm honest in that I do not understand why. We/you are peoples who have evolved and developed these skills since the Bronze age.. Why should we not fight to preserve them. They are unique. Love your music. Be strong you are on the right side of history.
@@davidk7049 I know it sounds crazy, but the success of our football team has been a major catalyst in the recent revival, especially with kids. In the past, speaking Welsh was seen as uncool, backwards, embarrassing. Doesn't help that we are exposed to English media which disparages the Welsh language and culture, which compounds the shame. Now the football team uses the Welsh language in banners, using Cymru instead of Wales. Only a handful of the football team are Welsh speakers, so this is coming from non-Welsh speakers which is amazing. The success of Yma o Hyd, which is a Welsh nationalist folk song (until recently was probably the most uncool thing ever!), and kids enjoying singing the song. Also with the football, people outside of Britain are hearing out language being sung and they enjoy it, it kind of helps that others see value in our language even if 'our neighbours' don't. You need something similar in Ireland. Find a way to make Irish cool. Language is a treasure.
It's not magic, it's the prayers of the people on the land, bringing everything to life. If the people have no depth, they can't see the generations that passed through the land.
I really enjoyed this presentation. I am Irish by heritage, not by birth. I learned a few common phrases from my parents, but that’s as much of the Irish language I ever learned. I’m 75 years old and have lived in Canada for 55 years. Recently I enrolled in an online Gaeilge academy and I have never been so excited! Wish me luck learning 🇨🇦☘️!!
A people that have lost their language are a people who have lost their soul. Thanks for keeping the Sean nos singing alive My grandfather came from Glangevlin, Ct.Cavan which was Irish speaking until the 50's. He came from a long line of Maguires, MacAuleys, Magaurans, Flanagan's. He had to leave Glasgow for NYC because of a bare knuckle fight he had with a Scotsman. I left America to live in a Mayo Gaeltacht as a wee lad Amazing experience!
I can't believe I'm reading your comment. Glangevlin, I know the place well. In fact the last speaker of a particular Gaelic dialect from that region passed away in 1939. He was my great grandfather. He started a Gaelic school that no longer exists. I heard it been said it was the first Gaelic school in a couple centuries. His name was Sean Ruaridh MacUidhir (John Rory Maguire). You will find him if you search online. The Scottish Highlands and Islands university had his stories with translations and a picture of him. I don't know if its still there though.
Thank you for this. I can’t speak gaélico/ Irish (I’m bilingual in English and Spanish castellano) but my Dad’s mother came from the Gaelic speaking west coast of Ireland to Kilkenny where she met my Grandfather from there with family in Dublin too. Nana used to speak to us in Gaelic when we were little and Granddad being from east coast like my dad couldn’t speak Irish. Granddad used to say it’s a waste of time …. I bought a course in Irish some time ago and never studied it. One day I will. But I do love Gaelic language and songs and traditional music. Thank you for this message and for educating people in the importance of keeping the language music and culture alive. Carmelo.
We as humans share like traits when expressing music. As we embark on 400 yrs...minority and majority switch places. You will never be forgotten...or unrecognized for your efforts to preserve. God sees all...knows all...and is in control.
As much i learn about Irish Histoy, Culture and Music more in love i feel !! Ireland have my whole Heart, I always say : I am Brazilian but i am Irish at the heart 🍀💚🤍🧡
Diolch am hyn! Great vocals and melody. People all around the world are told their language is dead from tribal peoples to regional languages but there is also a lot of enthusiasm / desire for people to learn their languages. There is also a sense of loss and disconnect among many people from their culture that can be found on many threads on YT.
These three beautiful people have given me hope. They are right when they say the schools here do not encourage any love for our language in young people. It is great to know that our culture and language will live on for at least the next generation. Na daoine breátha óga seo, is údar dóchais uilig iad. Tá an ceart uilig acu nuair adeir siad nach aon chuidiú nó cabhair é an córas scolaíochta anseo abhus leis an teanga a chur chun cinn i measc na n-óg. Nach álainn an rud é ár gcultúr agus ár dteanga a fheiceáil beo beathach sa chéad ghlúin eile.
Absolutely awesome and I am personally so grateful to listen such wonderful performance from the country where my Grandad was born Ireland! Thank you wholeheartedly for this wonderful music and effort! I love you all!
I loved this, especially the heartfelt last song, and I just love how Irish people manage to consistently get music, song and poetry into Ted talks - and why shouldn't we, it is part of our culture so significantly, why should we just use words?!
My dad was Michael Sheain Steaife Seoighe from An Aird Mhor, just like these guys. Both of my parents were native Irish speakers. It does my heart good to hear them. My mom used to say “sheasamh cosnochta sa sneachta ag eisteacht leob.”
Love this ....so informative and i love the Irish everything,i love all ethnic histories....we can be open to all/ALL humanities histories...INCLUSIVE we are ALL PEOPLE...share all cultures ,we can only get better.thank you for this upload.BEAUTIFUL!i love you guys!thank you soooo much..cosmic love to you.
I have such a connection to Irish songs/culture. I am Scottish however and from the Lowlands and cannot speak Gaidhlig (although I am working on this!). Looking at my family tree I have some great-great-great grandparents from Ireland (unfortunately I am not sure where). I love Scottish Gaelic and Irish due to their mutual intelligibility. But it's more than just understanding the language - it's about the culture and connection between our Celtic cousins. I was in Ireland for the spring at friends in a small village in County Meath - I felt right at home. Is toigh leam Èirinn agus saor Alba!
I’ve always found the Irish language, or more correctly Gaelic, and the music just… so so so romantic. I tried learning Gaelic on Duolingo over lockdown but just couldn’t, still love it tho
I’m 38 years of age born and reared in Dublin but from an early age in school I wanted to speak my ancestors language and unfortunately like my school and many other schools around the country they haven’t a clue how to teach Irish in schools hopefully that will change real soon
6 Ways To Give Your Mind A Break: 1. Stop stressing 2. Stop worrying 3. Give rest to the problems weighing you down 4. Lighten up 5. Forgive yourself 6. Forgive others
Being of Irish decent myself and not speaking the language fluently. I really had wished that they used subtitles for their songs. Just to match up the words to the melodies. It would have given so much more depth to the performance. Descriptions in the beginning are great, but to able to follow through the song word wise with the wonderful melodies would have lent a whole different of depth to the means behind the feelings of the songs. To be true!

They should stop speaking Irish now is the time for unity and peace , we need to become fully integrated in to Europe and English will be the language of Europe and the other modern languages if the eu fails we will have Germany back at their old tricks it is for the best that we lie down and be quiet and we might even enjoy the experience
