How did she pick up these Gaelic songs? Quite unexpected, and pleasantly so. Her pronunciation seems very good.

@dbadagna In a live performance where I saw the band, she mentioned that she picked it up from her husband and his heritage.

Lots of Scotch-Irish heritage in North and South Carolina so it's not that much of a stretch for them to pick that up...Wonderfully done indeed!

There were Gaelic speakers in North Carolina up until the 1960s and it's very much part of the heritage. It's not as strange as all that for someone in a band called the "Carolina Chocolate Drops" who play old-time music from the area to bust out with some Scottish every once in a while.

Because she is not Scottish or from Cape Breton Island, and is already known as a performer in two other genres (opera and old-time music). Additionally, one would not expect to encounter a cappella songs sung in perfect Scottish Gaelic to be presented by the Carolina Chocolate Drops, a group known primarily for its interpretations of old-time, ragtime, and similar American roots styles. I've seen them perform many times and have never seen them do such repertoire.

Rhiannon in a trained opera singer. She is fabulous and infuses everything with energy!
