A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

You've Been Served: Old Blind Dogs and "The Branle"
Old Blind Dogs bring us today's tune, called The Branle. Old Blind Dogs are a Scottish band which plays traditional Scottish and Celtic music with influences from rock, reggae, jazz, blues and Middle Eastern music. They are known for performing songs unique to northeast Scotland and singing in the unique Doric dialect of the Aberdeen area. The Branle can be found on their 1999 album The World's Room, and on their 2007 album Four on the Floor (as Branle). The title of the tune refers to a dance of French origin that was popular in the 16th and 17th centuries.
