Altan is arguably the most iconic band working in traditional Irish music today. For the past 35 years, they have brought the music of their native County Donegal to the world stage. The bands newest album, aptly titled DONEGAL, pays homage to County Donegals rich musical heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant culture. The musics authenticity and allure transport listeners to a bygone era in rural Ireland while forging a connection between the past and the present.
