THE CHIEFTAINS featuring RY COODER San Patricio (2010 US promotional advance 19-track CD album - 'San Patricio' is the much-anticipated new collaboration between Ry Cooder and the legendary Irish band The Chieftains. The record takes as its inspiration the story ofa group of 19th Century Irish immigrants to the USA, who were conscripted into the US army, in their war against Mexico. The men of the San Patricio brigade defected to the enemy side and fought with their fellow Catholics against the American army, before meeting a tragic end when the war was lost. The music which this meeting of cultures created can be heard to this day in Mexico, and 'San Patricio' brings new focus to this amazing story, and with it the perfect fusion of the sounds of Ireland with the sounds of Mexico. Custom printed disc issued in a custom printed picture sleeve, with sleeve notes in both English and Spanish FAN-31321ADV)
