Description

The comments state that the music in video 7, Budapest Burns Supper 2019, is (Irish) reels. The tune is actually the reel Tommy’s Tarbukas by Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser, performed by Alasdair Fraser and Paul Machlis from The Road North.

Background on the tune: https://tunearch.org/wiki/Annotation:Tommy%27s_Tarbukas The track used in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofajr_HJsBk

This is of course a very minor comment on a comment on a video for a dance that is not even being danced to the recommended tune, and perhaps has no place in the database, but I’m submitting it in case it might be of interest to anyone wondering about the tune in the video (as I was).

Possibly it would be more appropriate to add the the background on the tune from tunearch.org, “Composed by Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser in honor of Tommy Hayes, an Irish bodhran player. Tarbukas are a set of small drums similar to bongo drums, sometimes spelled ‘darbukas’ or ‘dharboukas’.” to the Extra Info for the tune itself (https://my.strathspey.org/dd/tune/3074/).

Thank you.
