Séamus and Caoimhe Uí Fhlatharta talk about their songwriting, musical influences and perform some of their favourite songs & tunes in Studio 8 in RTE's Radio Centre.
Labhair an bheirt faoin gceol atá sa chlann agus an tionchar a bhí ag an gceantar Gaeltachta inár tógadh iad ar an amhránaíocht agus ar an gceol a sheinneann siad. Bhí Séamus agus Caoimhe le feiceáil sa chlár teilifíse Bláth na hÓige ar TG4 a lean ceoltóirí óga le Gaeilge agus iad ar chosán an cheoil.
Séamus and Caoimhe spoke about their firm roots in Irish traditional singing and music and how they have benefit from their upbringing in the Conamara Gaeltacht, a region renowned for its rich cultural legacy. They spoke about respecting the tradition they grew up with whilst also leaving their own mark on it.
Louise spoke about how she thought the brother and sister duo have 'revolutionised the art of sean-nós' for many of their fans who mightn't have come across this style before. Séamus says that they feel a sense of responsibility to share the music they grew up with in their first language, Irish.
'Irish is very much alive and being used'
Tá EP nua curtha le chéile agus Séamus agus Caoimhe le Bill Whelan agus a mhac, Brian atá fréamhaithe sa chultúr Gaelach ach a thug deis dóibh tabhairt faoi amhráin nach bhfuil sa traidisiún sin go hiondúil. Labhair Séamus faoi thábhacht na féiniúlachta Gaeltachta dóibh mar cheoltóirí in aon taifead a dhéanann siad, fiú más i dteanga eile atá an ceol féin.
Anuas ar na gradaim uilig atá bainte ag an mbeirt óg, tá an domhan siúlta ag Séamus agus Caoimhe a bhuíochas leis an gceol agus deir Séamus gur tábhachtaí sin ná aon ghradam atá tugtha abhaile leo. Saol eile ar fad é saol an cheoil ina bhfuil cairdeas le déanamh agus craic le spraoi le fáil ann, a deir Séamus. Mhínigh siad go bhfuil bród as cuímse orthu an Ghaeilge agus an ceol Gaelach a thabhairt timpeall an domhain mhóir.
