about

MO LÉAN features several new original recordings and reworks of songs and hymns based around the concept of death, life, mourning and catharsis. RÓIS re-imagines the tradition of keening in Ireland that goes back to pre-christian times, a practice in which women, or bean caointe, would keen a lamenting wail at the side of a coffin during a wake. After discovering two out three lasting recordings of keening songs, RÓIS was inspired by their ethereal melodies to give them a modern reworking.
RÓIS aspires to express the power of the voice to transcend death and help us relinquish our fear of it.
