Afro Celt Sound System - Live

[@deargdue9608]

My father is African American and my mother is an Irish immigrant. This music makes me so proud of my race, thank you so much for this wonderful music!

[@matth7272]

I'm of Irish ancestry, a year after I came out of my tour of Kosovo as a soldier, I had the privilege of jamming with a Mozambican band who played the traditional drums and instruments, I play harmonica and 22 years later it is still the best time playing music I have ever had. Words can't explain how great an experience I had jamming with musicians better than I could ever hope to be.

[@liamkelly8834]

Saw this live last November in London. I am an old fart, 68, and I have seen them all. Stones, Beach Boys, Floyd, Sabbath etc. I can honestly next to the mighty Zep these dudes come a very close second. Their gigs are just the best fun night out ever. If you leave the gig without a very wide grin on your face, you need help!

[@pastel_rose2489]

Liam Kelly I was meant to be seeing the same one possibly with my school as we study release by them for music

[@simonholley4110]

Jealous

[@samanthawain932]

I went to a gig last year/2021. Magic! Similar effect on me to Transglobal Underground ❤

[@BrownAroundTown]

It always blows my mind that there is, invariably, someone who clicks the "thumbs down" button! It just shows me that there are people in the world who are insensitive...or something!

[@janakiramnallamothu3020]

if not for these people, humanity would've reached new heights way before present.

[@firstlast5289]

@@janakiramnallamothu3020 Amen!

[@Vinodsharma-kz5mt]

Here's how music cuts across geographical boundaries and enters people''s hearts. Excellent sound, excellent numbers picked. Hi Johnny plays Tabla too. Am from India

[@spindrifter2]

What I really love about Afro Celt is not just their fantastic music, but the fusion of races, creed and colours brought together into one amazing world/universal sound. Perhaps, the nations of the world could learn a lot of good things about themselves if they could come together in the incredibly positive way these class musicians do!

You all prolly dont give a shit but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.

[@thatcheramari5302]

@Valentino Bobby Instablaster ;)

[@valentinobobby8173]

@Thatcher Amari i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@valentinobobby8173]

@Thatcher Amari It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you saved my ass !

[@thatcheramari5302]

@Valentino Bobby Happy to help =)

[@StuMountjoy]

One concert of theirs my Asperger's friend and myself could completely zone out and listen to this, so rhythmic

[@Mayhemdog]

Afro Celt Sound System really are a beautiful experience.

[@rtarango68]

Afro Celt Sound System's music always brought me hope when stationed in Baghdad back in 2006. Listening to their music made everything so much better!

[@Noelbluesky]

Thanks for your service. Glad you had the music to help you through!

[@RajivLochanPanda]

Whoa! This particular comment gave me goosebumps.

[@Rascalndear1]

Amazing that this is every bit as sharp and rich as in the studio productions!! Thanks!!!!!

[@jawskamath5573]

+Rascalndear1 Absolutely agree

[@donnasenn8802]

Just saw the band at the Fairport Festival in the pouring rain. They produced so much energy and joy that I stayed through their entire set and danced. It was perfect

[@davelevey9074]

possibly the greatest gig i didn't manage to see but great it was captured on video

[@dylankrogers]

So wonderful. I have the album “Seed”. I played this video for my 15-year-old nephew who is a serious multi-woodwind player. He was quite captivated.

[@HershellWest]

This is truly soulful. A hive of electricity. A buzzing blizzard of intoxicating sound perfection!

[@waga57]

AFRO CELT SOUND SYSTEM - WOODSTOCK FESTIVAL POLAND 2015 .... free concert 2014 ..... 750.000 people attends...huge crowd !!!!!!!

[@janquillin1562]

I could not sit and listen to this my body wants to DANCE!!!!!!

[@quentalcosta9341]

I cant stop crying.... Simmon's passed away last March... Infinitive Love for You...

[@ilikemusic2773]

This music was played a lot when I was only very young (3 years old or something). Now I'm 17 and when I listen to it again it very nearly makes me cry.

[@firstlast5289]

+NextGen Rager your comment is music to my ears!! My own kids have listened to me playing AfroCelts aka AfroCelticSoundSystem or have heard me referring to them (during the years they were in Rebellion against my music...lol) for about 17 years. You give me hope that one day they will appreciate them as much as I do! I had "Release" played at my brother's funeral at procession as people were leaving and on their way to cemetery. It was a great opportunity also for people to hear ACSS and what an awesome song! I also would love that song played one day at mine.

[@bennettwilliams_]

i was just reunited with Deep channel after like 10 years of not hearing it and I'm very happy I finally found out what the song was called because I used to absolutely LOVE that song. Probably wasnt 10 years ago but it feels like a lifetime ago

[@liammocellin]

The same bro. I'm 18 and this music just bring me when i was only a child.

[@sidlonewolf2517]

it does not get any better than this.....

[@margalinam]

I looove this band, the Afro Celtic Sound System band since I saw them live in Dublin, Ireland 20 years ago. I have all their music and If you like this piece, you'll like all their other music too. It's like a drug in me, I get a high listening to their music. I'm glad they're still around. I would go see them any where if I knew where they're playing at. They have their fan club too. They're an amazing group of musicians and you could not find another band like this, I know I haven't! Enjoy!

[@williamhuallpa1844]

It is very fabulous to listen to them always...at every moment...and anywhere...it is admirable...🇵🇪🇿🇦🇻🇺🇿🇼🇬🇧

[@erickaares-luick9033]

One of the best musical journeys I have ever taken, and I hope it never ends! I can´t get enoooooouuuuughhhhhh :D

[@thedoctor2247]

amazing blend of African and Celtic Music.. I dare anyone who listens to this not to dance around the room in pure escapism and imagination!

[@danlutjemeier4183]

An astonishing multi-cultural masterpiece by any measure!

[@firstlast5289]

Indeed!! 😃

[@redrock9106]

How can u NOT be happy listening to this... bravo

[@markusortmann6862]

Larry brought this project to live THANKS - so great , all that stuff 🙂 Markus

[@bahbcat]

Watching those facial expressions makes it clear why this music is so uplifting.

[@marklynch9527]

This is one of things I miss about moving down under, no good bands, no good festivals like in the UK and Ireland, I’d love to see these lads and levellers etc on a regular

[@Herttoi]

@marklynch9527A great band from down under -"Yothu Yindi." Played in munich and blew everyone away, roadies, buskers, local musicians etc. Check them out. They aren't exactly the same as this lot, who i love, but are similar in some ways. I think. Not often.

[@randygee2965]

how can you not want to hear more from the beat of the drums to the Celtic influences this is fusion at its finest Try not drumming on your legs.

[@peterdenston4995]

I was fortunate enough to see them live in the late '90's when they toured New Zealand. Unforgetable!!

[@girlinagale]

Excellent musicianship. And excellent sound production with so many electro/acoustic instruments.

[@Frankenhelvetier]

Pure energy and mysticism. Almost blew me away in front of the TV. Wish I had been there live.

[@RolandMcGruner]

what's the dynamic? who writes the songs? what influence does everyone have, how much can each writer claim control over the song? how are setlists chosen? Do none of the members particularly care and it comes naturally??

[@shredjoe1]

I love these guys, a fav for me in this post is at 4.27 when the drummer stealths out from the back as if to say 'right boys check this out' - & then a fellow drummer warms up his hands at 4.55ish as if to say 'no bad neebs now check this' all for a great live show of course - everyone giving their all & having a blast - needs a bit of shred guitar too, maybe next time!

[@AdvaitThakur]

👍😀

[@josemalvido7731]

The best live performance in world music

[@macrozone]

Whenever I hear "Deep Channel" i think how hard that would be to play live. And here we are and it sounds exactly like on the record. Outstanding performance! RIP Simon Emmerson 😕

[@LuizWarg]

Holy shit, what a wonderful combination os genres and cultures. Discovered these guys today and am loving it. Can't help but wonder how awesome it would be to see them play with Shpongle.

[@john561791]

Ohhh My!!! I have been trying to find a substantial live performance for years.... this is so good. Hopefully I will see them live at Boomtown this year!... Wooooottt!

[@yetiitey6855]

Absolutely FANTASTIC! Thank you.

[@seancollins2918]

Have been a huge fan for over 20 years. Regretfully missed their last tour to the States many years ago and they haven't been back since. Hopefully with the upcoming new release will come another tour to the U.S. I won't miss them the next time.

[@Psychoclaw]

Man, how have I never heard them before now?? Now to binge-listen.

[@babyhorseable]

ill never get bored you lovely energy providers xx

[@rr7firefly]

We should all be so fortunate to have a magical person in our lives, especially one whose magic opens our eyes to unexpected beauty. This performance is definitely on the other side of our everyday world.
