About "Nil Cead Againn Dul Abhaile" by Afro Celt Sound System
The title translates as 'We Have No Leave to Go Home'—and the music aches with that exile. Afro Celt Sound System wrap a traditional Gaelic melody in warm, rolling percussion, but a restless synth line keeps tugging at the edges. Comfort and displacement dance a slow, unresolved reel.
