Irish Rebel Songs The Battering Ram - 'General Munro' Irish Folk

Track 5 'General Munro' from the 1998 album Irish Rebel Songs by the Irish folk group The Battering Ram. It consisted of Declan Hunt, Johnny Beggan and Seamus Walker who all came from Dublin and formed the core of the group. In Ireland they recorded a set of seven albums for Billy McBurney's Outlet Records, leading producers of Irish rebel recordings in the 1970's when this album was recorded. Irish rebel music is a subgenre of Irish folk music, with much the same instrumentation, but with lyrics predominantly concerned with Irish republicanism. The tradition of rebel music in Ireland dates back many centuries, dealing with historical events such as uprisings, describing the hardships of living under oppressive rule, but also strong sentiments of solidarity, loyalty, determination, as well as praise of valiant heroes. As well as a deep-rooted sense of tradition, rebel songs have nonetheless remained contemporary, and since 1922, the focus has moved onto the nationalist cause in Northern Ireland, including support for the IRA and Sinn Féin. However, the subject matter is not confined to Irish history, and includes the exploits of the Irish Brigades who fought for both France and Spain, and also those who fought during the American Civil War.
