San Patricio - Behind The Scenes | The Chieftains feat. Ry Cooder

[RZenasCharronsmith]

I have been listening to Irish rock for as long as I can remember. The likes of Shane MacGowan and of course the Chieftains have shaped my life, as has Ry Cooder; even more so because Ry Cooder is my name sake. I'm not sure how I missed this album, but as a history nut, and spanish speaker, with my love for both musicians music, I am so excited to give this album a listen.

Honestamente no sé que decir, conozco la música de los Chieftains hace como 20 años y no se me habría ocurrido escucharlos con la Chavela o con Lila Downs o con los Tigers!! Honestamente me he quedado en una pieza y creo que ahora me gustan el doble los Chieftains... La música celta siempre la he considerado épica y formidable. Los mexicanos consideramos al rock irlandés como rock de la mejor cepa en el planeta... Go Ireland. Viva México.

¡¡¡¡¡DENLES LLUVIA DE METRALLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! (CAPITAN JOHN RILEY) HEROICO BATALLON DE SAN PATRICIO "ERIN GO BRAGH"

[TiqueO6]

Sounds very Galilean!

Boy, did they have a great time on these sessions, it's going to be a great album!

I've been playing celtic music in México for 28 years already. Soon after me and my band started exploring and playing it, we realized the similarity and common ground and heart shared by celtic and mexican traditional music, and many folk musics around the world, not to speak about some obvious historical connections. We recorded some interesting mixtures of mexican and irish (and galician) folk tunes since 1992. Visit myspace.com/manuelugarte. Great job, Ry, Chieftains and guests!

[byteontheez]

The "mixture" of Mex & Irish is due to Ry Cooder and the Chieftains! There's no real connection outside of the production being spearheaded by Cooder and Paddy. You should get the CD for the interesting similarity among the musical pieces. Both are REVOLUCIONARIES!! These are legendary dudes, but hey Ry don't lard up too mucho dude!

I'm 55 years old., Irish

Lived in So Cal. all my life.

My Dad took us to Mexico for Vacation every year.

I thought everybody knew how to live together.

God Bless My Dad, and Ryland P Cooder And the Chieftans, y Mexico, por vida!!!!!

[Ralvalper]

Although most of my ancestors are Spanish, we believe that the father of my grandmother came from Ireland via the United States in the late nineteenth century. I think the Mexicans have known a lot of history connected with Ireland.

El Disco de San Patricio me llego al alma, The San Patrick Disc is in my soul and Irish in my heart ¡¡ERIN GO BRAGH, VIVA MEXICO!! xD

[FrenchMarianne]

Amazing !! Ry Cooder is really very gifted. After the Buena Vista Social Club story, we are happy to discover this new opus. Connection Europe-Mexico is also highly important to me as my great grand dad emmigrated from French South Alpes to Gaudalajara in 1848...

[frarelo]

Nuevamente Ry Cooder se hace presente...

Simplemente Excelente!

[Unaobamatina]

The song featured by "Los Tigere's Del Norte", my parents said this song was always requested toward the end of the "baile", dance, and of course everyone by then was crying and singing it. Can't wait to buy it.

[traviskearney]

One Man's Hero is a movie if you haven't heard of it about Los San Patricios.

Mira la pelicula de One Man's Hero. Es De Los San Patricios.

[traviskearney]

I am an American. My grandfather was born in Ireland. I play Mexican music and I use the symbol of Los San Patricio's for my symbol. I just play solo like Espinoza Paz, but I invoke them for strength, especially when I bring Mexican bands into American clubs. I live in Indiana, so yeah, you can imagine :-). Love the Chieftans.  The album that I own of theirs with Van Morrison is one of the best I've ever heard. VIVA LOS SAN PATRICIOS!!!!!! UUUUJAAAAJAJAAAJAJAA!!!!!!!

[stefalbert]

An Irish-Mexican connection..? Just have read it in my magazine..and now on youtube !! I'm very interested in this San Patricio story....My grandfather was a M exican sailor who came to Antwerp/Belgium. So European and Mexican history is important to me. I allways had great sympaty for the Irish cause. And now finally Mexican and Irish music come together..great !

[hoarse01]

@stefalbert - Could you elaborate on the "Irish Cause" for us the uninitiated?
