About this listen

This episode looks at the work of Cormac Ó Haodha, who held the 2024 John B. Lovelace Fellowship for the study of the Alan Lomax collection, a position situated within the library’s Kluge Center. Cormac comes from Cúil Aodha in the Múscraí gaeltacht of County Cork, Ireland. He came the Library specifically to study recordings Alan Lomax made in January 1951, of singers local to the Múscraí Gaeltacht. The episode includes one song sung in Irish and one in English by Cormac Ó Haodha, along with three of Lomax’s field recordings from January 1951.

More information on the songs as well as photos of some the singers and links to all the archival sources, can be found at http://blogs.loc.gov/folklife.
