Subject: Obit: Rita Keane of Caherlistrane
Rita Keane of Caherlistrane in East Galway, died last night. With her sister Sarah, she had a significant impact on traditional singing in Ireland. Dolores Keane, of De Danann and other fame, was her niece and learned many of her songs from the aunts. The extended family contains many other fine singers and musicians.
