I was thinking about Enya's first album,
The Celts, and then I realized the "connection" between
women and
Celtic music. It seems to be a genre where women are very important. There are a lot of female singers, instrumentalists, composers and bands including female members in Celtic music: Enya, Clannad, Loreena McKennitt, Capercaillie, Máiréad Nesbitt, Nightnoise, Celtic Woman, etc. And not only in Ireland, Scotland and Wales, but also in
Brittany (in the north-west of France),
Galicia (north-west of Spain), Canada, USA and other places.
No matter if they sing in Gaelic, English, Breton, French or Galician. Many songs seem to be perfect for a female voice.
There are many good instrumentalists too. These two are Máiréad Nesbitt (violin) and Susana Seivane (bagpipes):
