Our Ship Are Ready

Description

There is a reason why folk music has survived all the trials that humanity has inflicted on it: it supports people. And on their ninth album, "Our Ship Is Ready," CARA does exactly what traditional music has always done: confront the harsh realities of our time head-on, while uncovering what deserves to be preserved and celebrated. Emigration. Love. Loss. Climate change. These are not easy subjects, but CARA knows how to navigate troubled waters. With a repertoire blending their own original compositions and finely crafted arrangements of songs and tunes from Irish and Scottish traditions, the band intertwines the old and the new to create a work that is both timeless and contemporary.
