These genres are characterized by their use of distinctive instruments such as the fiddle, uilleann pipes, bodhrán, and tin whistle.
Traditional Irish music has not only been a form of entertainment but also a means of storytelling and cultural preservation. Many traditional songs tell tales of historical events, love, loss, and the everyday lives of the Irish people. The music has also played a significant role in Irish identity formation, serving as a reminder of the country's rich cultural heritage.
