    If you guys want to hear and example of Keening. Listen to the discography of the Cranberries. Their lead singer Dolores O’Riordan preforms a lot of Keening rituals in Songs like Zombie and the icicle melts. She unfortunately passed away at age 46 in 2018 due to drowning. I will always miss her voice and she was truly one of the greatest singer of our generation.

      Reading her wiki just now is what spurred me to search keening. She was an amazing person.

    This is just beautiful. It strengthens the community, despite it being such a dark time. I feel like modern funerals are lacking in this aspect.

    Women are the glue that binds a community, and binds life and death. The midwives who bring life into the world are the keeners who help those living cope with the death of loved ones.

    As an Irish American, I really think we've lost our way and touch with the old ways.

    Beautiful. Could you reference the singing/keening in the background so we can listen to it more?

      Song featured is "Song To My Heart" by Amanda Opelt! :) She made a companion EP based on the book featured in the video.

    Several authentic recordings were made of Irish and Scottish Gaelic keening songs. This video compiles six of them: ruclips.net/video/vgts7_b1JWY/видео.html

    in northern Spain we have a traditional "shout", in Galicia it's called aturuxo but it has other names in other places of northern Spain. Maybe the keening and this "shouts" have the same origin

    My Sorrow.. Are the Irish words keened, our ancestors knew the value of the cycles of birth and death and to allow emotions to pass through us in honour of each life 💚🙏💚
