THE CHIEFTAINS featuring RY COODER San Patricio (2010 US issue 2-disc [CD/DVD] album set - The record takes as its inspiration the story of a group of 19th Century Irish immigrants to the USA, who were conscripted into the US army, in their war against Mexico. With special guest stars such as Liam Neeson, Linda Ronstadt and Mexican musicians Carlos Nunez, Lila Downs and Los Cenzontles. The music showcases a perfect fusion of the sounds of Ireland with the sounds of Mexico and the Southern USA [which can be found to this day in certain Mexican cities]. The energy and the joy of discovery can be heard on every track where the musicians collaborate. Complete with a Bonus DVD including the making-of footage and performances. Presented in a great tri-fold hype-stickered digipak picture sleeve housed in a die-cut card slipcase sleeve. The outer o-ring slipcase shows a little scuffing whilst the discs look unplayed HRM-32024-00).
