San Patricio

THE CHIEFTAINS featuring RY COODER San Patricio (2010 UK 19-track CD album - 'San Patricio' is the much-anticipated new collaboration between Ry Cooder and the legendary Irish band The Chieftains. The record takes as its inspiration the story ofa group of 19th Century Irish immigrants to the USA, who were conscripted into the US army, in their war against Mexico. The men of the San Patricio brigade defected to the enemy side and fought with their fellow Catholics against the Americanarmy, before meeting a tragic end when the war was lost. The music which this meeting of cultures created can be heard to this day in Mexico, and 'San Patricio' brings new focus to this amazing story. With special guest stars such as Liam Neeson, Linda Ronstadt and Mexican musicians Carlos Nunez, Lila Downs and Los Cenzontles. The music is 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!)
