At first sight it might seem odd to include the bouzouki on a list of traditional Irish instruments. Nevertheless, its light but piercing tone makes it eminently suitable both for melodies and providing a restrained chordal backing within an ensemble, and since its introduction to the island ... in the late 1960s ... and its subsequent popularization, it has taken firm root. 3, record 1, English, - bouzouki

Aussi étonnant que cela puisse paraître, un instrument grec a fait son entrée en Irlande dans les années 1960 et s'est marié avec la musique de l'île. Le bouzouki fait partie de la famille des luths à long manche du Moyen-Orient. En Grèce, il est devenu l'instrument indispensable du rebetiko, il a brillé pour accompagner les chants de cette musique urbaine née dans la première moitié du XXe [vingtième] siècle. 3, record 1, French, - bouzouki
