Traditional Celtic

The term Traditional Celtic applies not to the Celtic music that was popularized in the '90s. Rather, it is both the earliest recordings of this folk style, plus recordings that keep the music pure, without any of the new age or pop influences that distinguish contemporary Celtic music.
