Valerio - The Humours Of Altan

Valerio is the name of the group and the disk is titled “The humours of Altan” after one of the tunes. A charming example of the type of continental recordings that mix Irish and non-Irish music in a smooth way.
Several of the tunes are original and beautiful!

In track 3, the second tune is another hop jig - not the same as the first (despite the linking).

Who plays what

Kieran Fahy: fiddle. Serge Desaunay: button accordion. Julien Biget: vocals/guitar/bouzouki/bodhran. Julien Favreuille: soprano sax.
