  • Danú are an Irish traditional music band. Danú were formed in Waterford in Southeastern Ireland in 1996. After performing in the Festival Interceltique de Lorient, the then thrown-together group decided to consolidate as a band, and the rest is history. They are fiercely devoted to their traditional roots, but are not afraid to experiment with arrangement, with critics commenting that their music exudes energy and empathy. Their second album, Think Before You Think (2000) was voted Best Overall Traditional Act by Dublin's magazine Irish Music. They have been voted Best Traditional Group twice in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, the only band to achieve such a feat. Their version of Co. Down by Tommy Sands won Best Traditional Song in the same awards.
  • I Danú sono un gruppo musicale il cui repertorio è improntato allo stile folk irlandese. Si è formato nel 1996 ad Waterford, Irlanda meridionale, debuttando all'Orient Celtic Music Festival. Il loro nome è probabilmente ispirato a quello di una nota divinità irlandese, appunto: Danu. Sebbene i componenti siano tutti legati alle radici musicali del loro paese, la musica che eseguono è improntata su arrangiamenti in chiave moderna in grado di restituire ai brani una rinnovata vitalità. Il loro album Think Before You Think (il secondo in carriera, prodotto nel 2000) è stato votato dalla rivista di Dublino Irish Music Magazine come Best Overall Traditional Act. Ugualmente, unica band che abbia ottenuto tale riconoscimento, i Danú sono stati votati per due volte come miglior gruppo tradizionale al BBC Folk Awards. La loro versione della canzone tradizionale Co. Down lanciata originariamente da Tommy Sands ha vinto, all'interno della stessa competizione musicale, il premio come migliore canzone tradizionale.
