The musical genius of Julie Fowlis – ‘Hùg air a Bhonnaid Mhor’
The musical genius of Julie Fowlis in Concert at ABC Glasgow January 2008
‘Hùg air a Bhonnaid Mhor’
From North Uist in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, Julie Fowlis is probably the most successful artist ever to work with predominantly Scots Gaelic material and has some high-profile fans, including Björk, Ricky Gervais, and Phil Selway of Radiohead. While Runrig and Capercaillie had previously achieved breakthroughs of sorts with isolated outbreaks of Gaelic-language material, Fowlis threw caution to the wind and achieved surprising mainstream acceptance concentrating almost exclusively on the Gaelic tradition.

Silvana Estrada, ‘La Corriente’ from the album ‘Marchita’ [Jan 2022]
Mexican musician Silvana Estrada—‘La Corriente’
[Thom Jurek, ALLMUSIC]—”…’Marchita’ is steeped in tradition but far from traditional. This album makes use of her entire musical background, including indie pop, classical, jazz, and Latin American folk traditions. It is rendered simply and directly, deeply influenced by the poetic tradition of women composers including Chavela Vargas, Violeta Parra, and Soledad Bravo.”
