Rogha Amhrán
Dara Bán Mac Donnchadha
As an Aird Thoir, Carna Dara Bán Sheáin Choilm Mac Donnchadha fear a bhfuil go leor duaiseanna amhránaíochta buaite aige, agus an té a ndúirt Joe Éinniú faoi gurbh fhearr é ná é féin. Is léir nach raibh mórán den áibhéil sa ráiteas sin ó na leaganacha iontacha atá ar an dlúthdhiosca d¹amhráin idir shean agus nua a bhfuil an t-údarás is dual do dhuine dá dhúchas agus dá oiliúint go smior le brath iontu. Rogha de na hamhráin ar An Meall Mór agus Máire Rua, dhá chaiséad a d’eisigh Dara Bán le Cló Iar-Chonnachta i 1987 agus i 1990, faoi seach, atá ar Rogha Amhrán.
Until 1985, the name and singing of Dara Bán were known only to his immediate neighbours in Carna. Discovered by Raidió na Gaeltachta, he was immediately recognized as one of the truly great singers of our time. Dara Bán Mac Donnchadha comes from An Aird Thoir in Carna, Conamara. Since first appearing at An tOireachtas over ten years ago he has guested at many concerts and sean-nós singing gatherings, and has been widely acclaimed as one of the best and most traditional of contemporary sean-nós exponents. Songs on this, his first album, include An Abhainn Mhór, Róisín Dubh, Mná Bhaile Locha Riach and Neainsín Bhán.
