Celtic music
The term "Celtic music" is without a doubt a pure definition of convenience, usually associated with a set of musical traditions that present some analogies that are quite distinct and strongly characterized since it would be more correct to speak of "music of the countries of the Celtic tradition." This kind of music it covers a broad spectrum of musical genres that evolved from the traditions and folk music of the Celtic peoples of Western Europe. The term Celtic music may refer either to the music of tradition transmitted orally that popular music with some superficial similarities to the folk styles of the Celtic peoples. Celtic music, being a popular music, a "music of the people" is not purely a written tradition, as sacred or classical music, but mostly over the centuries has been passed down orally.
