*Established in 1995*
Cantaria is a library of traditional and contemporary folk songs,
mostly from Ireland, Scotland, and England, intended to be an
educational tool for propagating the living song tradition through
passing on folk songs in a medium where far-flung singers can share
songs as easily as if we were all circled up at a session.

Cantaria is unique among lyric web sites because almost every song in
our archive has an accompanying *MP3 format recording of the song
being performed*. The library currently contains lyrics for over *251*
songs, contributed by a variety of singers, including Andy Irvine and
Andy M Stewart. See What's New for recently added songs.
