Celtic mouth music, sometimes called lilting, diddling, or puirt a beul ("tunes from the mouth"), is a vocal version of what would typically be instrumental folk dance music. The tantalizing rhythms and driving melodic lines reveal the unique partnership of song and dance in the folk music traditions of the Gaelic Celts. Sung during weddings, dances, chore times, or just for sport, mouth music combines astonishing verbal acrobatics with direct, heartfelt harmonies to create an irresistible musical experience.
