Popular Irish Music

From baroque style, folk, rock, traditional, new age - Irish music has made it's way to the mainstream and is holding ground. The indigenous music of the island is termed Irish traditional music. It has remained vibrant through the 20th into the 21st centuries, despite globalising cultural forces. In spite of emigration and a well-developed connection to music influences from Britain and the United States, Irish music has kept many of its traditional aspects; it has itself influenced many forms of music, such as country and roots music in the USA, which in turn have had some influence on modern rock music. It has occasionally been fused with rock and roll, punk rock and other genres. Some of these fusion artists have attained mainstream success, at home and abroad.

In recent decades Irish music in many different genres has been very successful internationally. However, the most successful genres have been rock, popular and traditional fusion, with groups such as Thin Lizzy, The Pogues, The Corrs, The Chieftains, Enya, Riverdance, Boyzone, Rory Gallagher,the Wolfe Tones, Van Morrison and U2 achieving success nationally and internationally. The 1990's and 2000"s also have shown an increase in Irish music with many New Age, Traditional and Rock Band finding popularity.
