bua

A quintet comprising some of America's most talented, young musicians, bua has been described by Irish Music Magazine as "the essence of a superb band." Tipping their hats to such greats as the Bothy Band and Planxty, their sound is "a throwback to the playing of the 1960s and 1970s, keeping the music down the path of tradition." The band's 2006 release, Live at Martyrs' is "a work without gimmicks, where the musicianship is of the highest quality." It is no surprise that bua, taking its name from the Irish Gaelic word for victory, has quickly risen to be one of America's premier traditional Irish music ensembles.
