Celtic Music Round the World is the theme for the 4th release in our international hit Celtic Twilight series. This collection showcases the creativity of the Celtic genre from international artists as well as those from the home sod of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Many current multi-ethnic collaborations involving Celtic musicians and instruments have brought great success to the world music arena. To no surprise, genre enthusiasts often want to search for the roots of traditional musics and for doors to various new possibilities. The Hearts of Space label has done their part in showcasing the contemporary Celtic side of the spectrum, as well as related hybrid forms, with their international hit Celtic Twilight series. Celtic Planet, a 14-song compilation of Celtic-based songs by an multi-ethnic cast of musicians, is their latest offering.
