These 2 wonderful ladies have worked together for years. The talent on show is exquisite and the singing is sublime. But to also be such accomplished musicians as well is just absolutely stunning. Just shows that Scottish and Irish Gaelic music is supreme.
Respect to the revival of our culture and who we are, Our Gaelic language. We are fighting in the North of Ireland for our Saoirse of Our language. We will succeed. Blessings from your Gael cousins in Eire
Long live Gaëlic languages and Breton language too, they can convey so much emotion that no language else can do, I'm a piper, whistler and flute player, I ever deeply vibrate when playing and listening Celtic musics and songs, our roots, the old tunes and songs will never go out of fashion, This video is a part of our cultural treasure, that will never be neither spoiled, nor be killed, this is our soul, our inner harmony of everyday, not our body, so...could never be destroyed, I'm glad
Breton is a Celtic language too, as are Welsh, Manx and Cornish. I don’t think there are any native Manx speakers left, very few Cornish speakers, but Irish, Scots and Welsh are flourishing. I think Breton is as well.
Julie, My family once lived in Ayr , Scotland. I've always felt so Happy to have ties to Scotland. There's just a special quality in your personality that really enhances your appeal and especially with the tonality in your voice. Thank you for your efforts to promote Scottish Gaelic! You're an angel!
That is just such a great piece of music....love it right down to the last low note on the tin whistle. Well done girls!! (and guys!!) It gets me every time I listen.
Beautiful languages - Scottish Gaelic is the language of my great-grandmother from way up north. Perhaps where my nordic aesthetic comes from. Blessings from Australia. :-)
This is one of the most beautiful performances I have ever heard... so simply a joy to listen to! Everything, the voices, the instruments and tin whistles in harmony... this gave me the chills in a good way! Thank you for sharing this!
These are three Gaelic songs/ tunes, Tha'm buntáta mór / An Bairille / Boc liath nan gobhar, a recorded version is available on cd "Dual" - just google for fowlis and dual to find.
I listen to these songs to keep my ancestors alive, within me. I can't let my culture died. My Gran is half welsh, thus began another stage in my family of losing our identity. My father grew up speaking English. And I live in North America for the past nine years, so I know the affect English speakers have had on our planets' human cultures. I listen to these songs to keep myself alive. : ) While I live here, and listen to Indigenous Americans for our way of life, until I can return, if I return, to The Island off the coast of Europe.
I like that the first tune in Scottish Gaelic has a playful sound to it, but the second tune in Irish is heaven to the ears. Muireann has a very lovely voice.
At time mark 00:52 starts one of the most beautiful songs from that Celtic/Gaelic cultural area (Ireland/Scotland/a.o.). That melody sung by Muireann is outstanding and wonderful. Also both flutes (Julie Fowlis and Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh) are played fantastically clear. Not to forget the fine guitar and bouzouki. If I may suggest something: the song should finally end with a short line of the great singer's vocals. :-)
I just came across Julie Fowis recently on you tube! Love her voice! I have tried to start a Julie Fowlis radio station on iHeartRadio, but I just get a few of her songs & the rest go to other artists that I’m not interested in!
I took an Irish Studies course my senior year and our teacher linked us to a bunch of awesome videos (this included) and I somehow didn't put them into any playlist. There's still a few to track down, but I am happy I found this again, it was one of my favorite videos she had us watch. I'm glad I didn't have to scroll through almost 4 years of watch history, that would've taken so so long haha
I'm not Scottish or Irish, I'm English. But I love Gaëlic and Bréton music. Stop the "They must be English" hate for a negative comment - it makes you as bad as them. Back to the video..., the whole "dual" concept is interesting and both Julie and Muireann are masters of their craft.
Its a fantastic language, and I say that even if my primary langauge, italian, is very melodic. But also Gaelic is really charming, even compared to Italian!
Questa musica è così evocativa e piacevole, per non parlare delle meraviglie del paesaggio irlandese e scozzese! E il gaelico, insieme al portoghese è la lingua più musicale di tutte!
After singing, the tunes they play on whistle are "An Bairille"-which is essentially a form of "The Rocky Road to Dublin" slip jig-followed by "Boc Liath Nan Gobhar", which might just be the Scottish inspiration behind the Donegal jig "The Further in, the Deeper". Very similar structure.
I don’t know if you know, but AutoTune isn’t a remedy or a “fix” for bad singers. It’s a fun tool, and a sound effect, more than anything, to make the voice sound digitized, electronic, futuristic, or “space age-y”, even. Makes the voice sound mechanical, robotic, etc. It’s purely a sound effect. If you sing badly, and use autotune, you’ll sound like a robot who can’t sing. 😂
Great stuff, altogether. Brilliant idea perfectly executed. Never heard Gaelic sean nós before -plenty of Scots lilting though (but not enough). Just as I never imagined it could be. And 2 whistles in unison, and practised! C'mon lads, seriously? I'd let ye look after my child.
Greetings my friend, a Berber appreciating Gaelic music feels strange but let me share an odd coincidence. Many sadly too many) years ago a family never shared a belief passed to him that Celts/Scots had some origins in the Maghreb and as it was prior to Arab interlopers then Berbers would be these people. I can't say I've come across any information to support this and it was only your greeting that brought it to mind. ' Thor an aire '
when the tin flutes broke away from a closeness style of harmony were mesmerizing. It almost felt as if they could really go on for a long time and that they would not have become any less vibrant and captivating.
THIS is music, welcome to Gaelic culture. Julie Fowlis is amazing and to see her perform with Muireann is divine
These 2 wonderful ladies have worked together for years. The talent on show is exquisite and the singing is sublime. But to also be such accomplished musicians as well is just absolutely stunning. Just shows that Scottish and Irish Gaelic music is supreme.
These woman have amazing vocal control as well as beautiful voices. I love listening to them.
Yes vocal control, something most pop singers lack.
Can’t understand a word never the less I am totally smitten with these two talented and lovely ladies!
The precise soprano of Julie, then the warm alto of Muireann. Intoxicating! 'S math sin!

This restores my faith in humanity it's really nice to see that this music is alive and well
The part where you see they can both play tin whistle together makes me so happy!

I love Gaelic culture, its music, folk, and everything. Appreciate that fantastic performance.
before listening this
*chan eil mi toilichte*

*Tha mi gu math an-nis*
thanks! Slainte!
I just loved this Gaelic music. It was so wonderful.
That is just such a great piece of music....love it right down to the last low note on the tin whistle. Well done girls!! (and guys!!) It gets me every time I listen.
I never get tired of listening to this performance. The songs reach deep inside me and stir the Scottish and Irish blood that flows in my veins.
I'm Hispanic does same to me😮❤
And dance too
I can't understand a word of this but I really enjoy it anyway. God Bless from the U.S from a Scots Irish American.
The words skip across the verse like flat rocks across a pond... Just beautiful!

My 2 favorite female singers in the world

Makes me want to walk on that rocky road to Dublin.XD

Wow....this is BEYOND excellent. It is MAGNIFICENT!

Dennis Smith get Spotify and make a station or playlist
Ce duo est un bijou musical dont les ornementations vocales sont fascinantes. Encore merci.

My word. Phenomenal.
Holy you know what! How have I never heard this before? So amazingly beautiful. Goosebumps. Makes feel so good I almost want to cry! 😂👍
Muireann has such a liquid voice......ands she's pretty handy with a flute and whistle as well.
The more i watch this the better it gets.
Deadly...

+Pedar Bloom The doctor has a soft spot for good music and beautiful women!
Ped
GOD bless the SCOTTISH ✝️✊
I wish that I could understand Gaelic, I am glad that someone is keeping the tradition of the Scott's alive.
SCOTS, not "Scott's"
Words fail me - but the music sure doesn't. WOW!
They are just awsome. Love them both :) As a singer I love them so much.
Two beautiful voices. I love to hear gaelic being sung.
It is such a fasinating language.
I like that, simply.
A beautiful time machine. We need such water from another time.
I'll never get tired of this.
I love the flutes! No words to describe this beauty (yeah, okay, and everything thing else about it...)
Absolutely stunning music
I wiil learn Gaelic in salute to this beautiful woman and voice! A Gaelic Hayley Westenra
Wonderful. Absolutely
Julie Fowlis i Muireann, son sensacionals. Amb elles, disfruto moltissim de la musica celta!
Foirfeachta. Absolutely gorgeous music....go raibh míle maith agat.
What a great set!!...love tghat guitar bouzouki set-up!!...sounds great with headphones!!...
Pure beauty, thanks for sharing.
Is Gaelic the most beautiful musical language on the planet?
Its a fantastic language, and I say that even if my primary langauge, italian, is very melodic. But also Gaelic is really charming, even compared to Italian!
um...yes
My first language and I love it!!😊
To me it sounds like English if I didn't understand English (but where everyone also rhymed)
Always loved the Gaelic, in speech and song !
just...beautiful..
Questa musica è così evocativa e piacevole, per non parlare delle meraviglie del paesaggio irlandese e scozzese! E il gaelico, insieme al portoghese è la lingua più musicale di tutte!
My God, the flute caught me off guard ! Just gorgeous :))
Othmane Latifi It's not a flute, mate. It's a penny whistle. Yeah, it is beautiful
+Othmane Latifi penny whistles or tin whistles
Wicked Good!!! Yes!
Wow!!! World heritage treasures... Wow!!!!
I have no idea what they were singing about BUT it was Beautiful . And NO Shouting/Screaming just pure and simple TALENTS
J'aime beaucoup Julie Fowlis. Belle chanson.
This is really a nice song.
After singing, the tunes they play on whistle are "An Bairille"-which is essentially a form of "The Rocky Road to Dublin" slip jig-followed by "Boc Liath Nan Gobhar", which might just be the Scottish inspiration behind the Donegal jig "The Further in, the Deeper". Very similar structure.
Fantastic.A good cure for the blues
I got a bit of Gàidhlig from back home in NS... it's a language and a culture that need to be preserved and lived!
Pop singers use auto tune, these classy women use raw talent.

enchanting!

Marvelous, both of them!
Thank you. I was very curious to listen the Scottish language and listen the folk music of Scotland. But only I found more videos about Ireland.

Greetings to the Celtic Land of Scotland from the Berber Land of Kabylia :)))))))))

Wonderful!!!!
This is special. 💕💕
that whistle playing is blindingly good!!!

Great combination of Gaelic tunes.
I've just discovered the lass in the pink dress. Got a mad crush on her now like!
I can’t understand more than a few words but I love Gaelic languages, Irish, Scots Gaelic, Breton, welsh. I haven’t heard Cornish or Manx.
Красивая девушка и песня (даже без перевода мне нравится)
