<span></span><span></span><div><p align="left">
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">A quartet comprised of some
of America’s most talented young musicians, Bua plays Irish traditional
music with “a precision and intensity that is rarely heard on this side
of the Atlantic.” Their sound stands out among modern bands in the genre
by “keeping the music down the path of tradition” and reminding
listeners of such fondly-remembered greats as The Bothy Band and
Planxty. Critics write that Bua’s 2009 release, <i><b>An</b> </i><b><i>Spealadóir</i>, “</b>features
all that is really good about traditional music.” It is no surprise
that Bua, taking their name from the Irish Gaelic word for victory, have
quickly risen to be one of America’s premier traditional Irish music
ensembles.</font></p><p align="left">
</p><p align="left">
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Bua has performed at many of
the top Irish festivals in North America including the National Folk
Festival, Lowell Folk Festival, Boston's Irish Connections Festival,
Milwaukee Irish Festival, Dublin Irish Festival, Goderich Celtic Roots
Festival and Bethlehem’s Celtic Classic. As individuals they have
shared the stage with a host of top Irish musicians including Martin
Hayes, David Munnelly, Liz Carroll, Len Graham, Paddy Keenan, Larry
Nugent, Pat Broaders, Dennis Cahill, John Williams and Frankie Gavin. </font></p>
<p align="left">
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Bill Margeson of the Irish
American News writes: “Clearly, this group is no locally-based
collection of musicians trying to break out of Chicago. This is a group
that has established itself [both] individually and as a group in the
eyes and ears of the traditional community…As other bands change,
disband or simply fade away, the tradition is blessed by what seems to
be an inexhaustible pool of talent that comes to the front of the
stage. It is Bua’s time. Here they come.”</font> <a href="http://pipers-hut.com/" title="http://pipers-hut.com" target="_blank">http://pipers-hut.com</a></p>

<p>
From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sankofa_%28film%29" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>:</p>
<p>
The story follows Mona, a contemporary <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_%28person%29" title="Model (person)" target="_blank">model</a>, as she is visited by spirits lingering in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Coast_Castle" title="Cape Coast Castle" target="_blank">Cape Coast Castle</a> in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana" title="Ghana" target="_blank">Ghana</a>
and travels to the past, where, as a house servant named Shola she is
constantly abused by her slave masters. Nunu, an African-born field
hand, and Shango, Shola's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Indian" title="West Indian" target="_blank">West Indian</a>
love interest, all continuously rebel against the slave system. For
Nunu this means direct conflict with her son (whose father is a white
man) benefiting from the system as a head slave. Inspired by Nunu and
Shango's determination to defy the system, Shola finally chooses to
fight back against her masters.</p>
