   About SLAINTE
E S P A Ñ O L

Slainte toma su nombre del famoso brindis gaelico y significa "salud", tanto en irlandes como en escoces.

La formacion nace en 1993, y desde entonces ha rodado por numerosos escenarios y pubs tanto catalanes como de los alrededores. Se trata sin duda del grupo mas veterano dentro de la llamada musica celta en Catalunya.

Slainte ha conocido musicos de la talla de Carolyn Petersen (Felpeyu, Tartan Amoebas), Oscar Zanon (Wild Turkey, Dumbalacanalla), David Lafuente (Joglars e Senglars), Oscar Estanyol (Camalics), Eugeni Gil y Paco Pi (Primera Nota), Simone Lambregts (Les Violines, Andana), Raimon Torio, Heather Hayes (Hickory Wind), Marc del Pino (Andana, Aisha).

Hoy su repertorio ha evolucionado, pero sin perder el encanto del sonido acustico y atlantico que les caracteriza. Actualmente se centra en las danzas mas freneticas y las canciones mas bellas de las viejas Hibernia y Caledonia (Irlanda y Escocia), pero tambien visita la musica bretona, la balcanica o el bluegrass norteamericano. Todo ello aderezado con originales arreglos de su cosecha... El tratamiento de los temas unido al sonido de sus instrumentos autoctonos dan al grupo un caracter de autenticidad que poco se ve (y se escucha) por estos pagos...

El concierto se suele combinar con el espectaculo de la danza tradicional irlandesa, a cargo de las bailarinas de tap dance Fran Doonan y Ella King. Esta danza se considera la precursora del moderno claque. Se trata de un baile de exhibicion en solitario donde se hacen extraordinarios movimientos con las piernas, marcando el ritmo de las melodias.

E N G L I S H

Slàinte takes its name from the famous toast and means “health”, as much in irish as in scottish gaelic.

The band is born in 1993, and since then it has rolled by numerous scenes as much catalan as of the rest of Spain. Slainte is without a doubt the most veteran group of celtic music in Catalonia and some top musicians have been part of it: Carolyn Petersen (Felpeyu, Tartan Amoebas), Oscar Zanon (Wild Turkey, Dumbalacanalla), David Lafuente (Joglars e Senglars), Oscar Estanyol (Camalics), Eugeni Gil and Paco Pi (Primera Nota), Simone Lambregts (Les Violines, Andana), Raimon Torio, Heather Hayes (Hickory Wind) , or Marc del Pino (Andana, Aisha).

Today their repertoire has evolved, but without losing the magic of the acoustic and Atlantic sound that characterizes to them. At the moment it is centered in the most frenetic dances and the most beautiful songs of Hibernia and Caledonia (Ireland and Scotland), but also visits another traditions as breton, balkan music or bluegrass. All flavoured with their original arrangements.

The treatment of the tunes together with the sound of their native instruments gives to the group an authenticity character that is not very usual in our country.

The concert can be combined with an irish step or tap dance show, performed by Fran Doonan & Ella King. This dance considers the precursor of modern tap dance.

Moltes gràcies per aceptar-nos. Sou una autèntica referència pel celta català, us he vist en diverses ocasions, junts i en d'altres grups, i els vostres espectacles són exquisits. A part, la inclusió de les ballarines, crec que dóna un aspecte més interessant i personal als vostres concerts.

Salutacions des de Mollet.
