  Irish rebel music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Irish rebel music is a sub genre of Irish folk music, with much the same instrumentation, but with lyrics about the fight for Irish freedom, people who were involved in liberation movements, Celtic unity, and attacks on the British invaders.
Over the years, a number of bands have performed "Crossover" music, that is, Irish rebel lyrics and instrumentation mixed with other, more pop styles like hip hop.
Irish rebel music has occasionally gained international attention.

The danger clearly was that if "millions" of decent Irish Americans could be swayed by bloodthirsty terrorists, they could be absolutely won over by smart-talking lobbyists and politicians intent on shattering the economic status quo of Northern Ireland as it related to Catholic-Protestant employment rates.
Irish America has long been the object of what could be described, at the very least, as an intense British curiosity.
In his biography of the Fenian leader John Devoy, "Irish Rebel," Terry Golway highlights the roles of several individuals during the 1860s and '70s whose task it was to penetrate and compromise Irish-American efforts at fueling the fires of rebellion in Ireland.

With no further fanfare, the band rolls into an Irish folk-rock song, "The Body of an American." Leading the charge from center stage is Martin O'Malley, Baltimore's Democratic mayoral candidate and, for this night, the undisputed life of the party.
During the day, some of the musical acts inserted O'Malley's name as the hero in their traditional ballads.
In the middle of the medley, O'Malley interpolates a song from the Irish rock band U2 and sings words that seem to speak of his campaign and the final step he must take before he can implement his vision for Baltimore.

The music ranges from love songs to pipe duels to waltzes to a medieval hymn recorded in a convent opposite the pilgrimage cathedral of Santiago de Compostela -- first a cappella by the Ultreia Choir, then with the lads joining in.
There are emigrant excursions to Madrid (Eliot Fisk on Spanish guitar), LA (Linda Ronstadt and Los Lobos doing "Guadalupe"), and Havana (Ry Cooder on mandola), but, opposing the guest-star trend in recent Chieftains albums, this one has the band mostly out on their own, finding new inspiration and as infectiously uninhibited as ever.

Unlike Bono, Irish folk band Four to the Bar isn't afraid to call a tune a rebel song--even though it's a ballad.

That was true with Four to the Bar's moving, lyrical ballads about the Irish diaspora and the Irish "troubles." Such songs as "The Western Shore" and "The Shores of America" conveyed the special heartache of immigrants.
