You Spin Me Right Round: The Afro Celt Sound System and "Whirl-Y-Reel 1"

Today's random tune is by the Afro Celt Sound System, a fusion band that mixes modern electronic dance rhythms with traditional Irish and West African songs. They were formed by British producer Simon Emmerson and Afro-pop star Baaba Maal in 1991. Since then they've been proclaimed a world music supergroup, and have collaborated with Peter Gabriel, Sinead O'Connor, Robert Plant, Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Ayub Ogada and many other pop and world stars. This song, Whirl-Y-Reel 1, can be found on their 1996 debut release Volume 1: Sound Magic.
