Exciting news about Anúna, longtime favorites of the Celtic Café community!
"Anuna: Celtic Origins" has been soundscanned at number one this week in the Nielsen Soundscan World Music Charts.
We first fell in love with Anuna when they were the original vocal group featured in “Riverdance” and since forming in 1987, they have achieved tremendous European success and international acclaim.
“Celtic Origins,” Anuna’s Public Television concert special, airs nationally in August and September as part of the tv stations’ pledge drives -- see http://www.elevationgrp.com/anuna/broadcast_information.html for dates and times.
Click on the image above for a special feature by Anuna member Patrick Hughes, about how the group came to this place, and what it is that makes the music appealing to fans worldwide.
Members of the group are currently traveling the United States for in-store appearances at Borders bookstores, and Anuna will return in the fall for a full-fledged concert tour starting Oct. 3.
