Hi guys!
Today’s song of the day is one of my most favourite Irish folk songs, and I guess one of the most popular. Dúlamán is the Irish name for an edible seaweed called channelled wreck in English. This song was made popular by Clannad in ’70s, and since then was very often performed by artists like Anuna, Celtic Woman, etc. THe version I want to show you is from 1993 and made by an Irish folk band called Altan.
Altan were formed by Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh and her ex-husband Frankie Kennedy in the ’80s. Mairéad is from Gweedore in Donegal, so the same place from where Clannad and Enya are.
The lyrics, in both English and Irish, you can find
and here’s the song:
