Cuilionn Rhiannon Giddens/Carolina Chocolate Drops (30) RE: Carolina Chocolate Drops lineup change 05 Feb 11

MG-- She's singing in Scottish Gaelic (Gaidhlig) in that clip. Before she linked up with the fellows to start the Chocolate Drops, she was a classically-trained singer (arias and all that!) and took a nice side trip into Gaelic singing. I was a fellow student in a few Gaelic song workshops led by tradition-bearer Catherine Ann MacPhee at Feis Shiatail (The Seattle Feis) back then--I think it must have been 2002 or 2004. I marveled back then at Rhiannon's already considerable grace, skill, and presence.
