‘Dastirum’ which is a word of encouragement meaning ‘three cheers!’ Allan MacDonald sings and plays 17th and 18th century Highland bagpipe music on his Foot Stompin album ‘Dastirum.’ The most exciting player of his generation, Allan is now stimulating the renaissance of one of Europe’s most soulful and majestic musical traditions. Considered the highest form of Scottish piping (known in Gaelic as ceol mor, the big music) Piobaireachd carries a bouquet of superiority, dignity, mystery, and romance. The CD, which comes with an extensive illustrated hardback booklet of 69 pages, showcases his stylistic approach to Piobaireachd.
