Musical Genres: Celtic

What is Celtic music?  To most people, it's Irish music. Traditionally, there are seven Celtic lands: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Isle of Man, Cornwall, Brittany (in France), and Galicia (in Spain). To D'n'A, Celtic music also includes the Scandinavian countries, more regions of France, and the new cultures in English-speaking and French-speaking North America (Québec, Acadia, Appalachia and Louisiana).
