Bunaíodh an banna Kíla, a bhuaigh duaiseanna agus a bunaíodh ar scoil i mBaile Átha Cliath ag deireadh na 1980idí, agus tugtar aitheantas dóibh mar cheann de na bannaí is nuálaí agus is spreagúla in Éirinn. Tá a gcuid ceoil uathúil ag athrú i gcónaí, fréamhaithe sa traidisiún, ach spreagtha ag tionchair agus smaointe iomadúla ó gach cearn den domhan.

Is minic a shainmhínítear é mar cheol domhanda comhaimseartha Éireannach, agus comhcheanglaíonn Kíla éifeachtaí a gcuid fonn féin agus liricí Gaeilge, uirlisí tíre Éireannacha ar nós feadóga, fidil, píobaí Uilleann, cnámha agus bodhrán le djembe, congas, drumaí, mandalíní, práis, agus giotáir fuaimiúla/leictreacha/dordghiotáir. Tagann ochtar ball Kíla ó chúlraí ceoil éagsúla – traidisiúnta, clasaiceach agus rac-cheol.

Is é an toradh meascán úr d’uirlisí saora, jigí buile, agus rithimí príomhúla a sháraíonn teorainneacha traidisiúnta an cheoil Éireannaigh.

Formed at school in Dublin’s late 1980’s, Award-winning band, Kíla, are heralded as one of Ireland’s most innovative and exciting bands. Their unique sound has been ever-evolving, rooted in tradition, yet inspired by a myriad of influences and ideas from all around the world.

Often defined as contemporary Irish World music, Kíla fuse the effects of their own melodies and Irish (Gaeilge) lyrics, Irish folk instruments such as whistles, fiddles, Uilleann pipes, bones and bodhrán with djembe, congas, drums, mandolins, brass, and acoustic/electric/ bass guitars. Kíla’s eight members come from the differing musical backgrounds of traditional, classical, and rock.

The result is a fresh blend of freewheeling instrumentals, furious jigs, and primal rhythms that transcend the traditional boundaries of Irish music.
