Finally making time today to catch up with some of my pings, like this one. Thanks for that! Amazing to hear the Irish language sung like that—usually it's plaintive ballads. I guess the oldest songs in the mostly-dead ancient languages have a certain je ne sais quoi similarity—staccato rhythm and repetition highly favored. I notice that repetition is also highly favored in contemporary ebonics, chiefly 3- to 5-word phrases repeated over and over at top volume.
