Salamanca
Salamanca is a bold and expressive solo piping album showcasing the full dynamic range of Ireland’s iconic national instrument. The album offers listeners an imaginative and immersive experience of Irish traditional music at its expressive best. Salamanca is a celebration of the uilleann pipes as a solo instrument, presenting both well-loved traditional tunes and lesser-known gems with virtuosic technique and inventive interpretation. The album features a mix of compelling arrangements and approaches—sometimes stark and intimate, other times fiery and full-bodied.
With Salamanca, Seán McKeon pushes beyond standard settings to deliver a personal and contemporary take on the Irish piping tradition, without ever losing its soul.
Dublin Made Me
“Dublin Made Me is so much more than the sum of its parts. What makes it stand out from the crowded arena of traditional music is its blithe conviction that one’s inheritance, whether musical, historical or social, is there to be inhabited in all its ragged and real glory. This is a vibrant collection that never once loses sight of its birthright yet still manages to herald a new departure in casting a spotlight on two exceptional musicians who marry technical prowess with a marvelous sense of adventure and history.”
