Clannad has traversed the timeline of Irish pop music, from its folk and traditional roots to modern synthesized music. The '80s and '90s saw the rise of Irish rock supergroups (most notably U2) and more subtle ambient music artists like Clannad and Clannad's former bandmate, Enya. On BANBA, we hear Clannad's version of what could be broadly termed Irish pop music. Elements of Irish culture and tradition are implicit in the music, singing style, and lyrics.
Three of the songs, "Na Laethe Bhi," "Banba Oir," and "Caide Sin Do'N Te Sin" are sung in Irish and revolve around Irish themes, the pop elements emerging from the structure of the music which consists of the standard verse, chorus, bridge format. There's also a real emphasis on delivering a hook here. Generally mellow and introspective, BANBA's highlights include the haunting "I Will Find You," and the optimistic, guitar based "The Other Side."
Deluxe edition, digitally remastered from the original tapes, reissue of 1994 album features 12 tracks including 1 bonus chill-out remix track, 'I Will Find You' (Afterlife Mix). Includes 12-page booklet with new sleeve notes & rare photos. BMG. 2004.

Q (6/93, p.94) - 3 Stars - Good - "...More of the same here from Clannad...the ideal accompaniment to any serious bout of eco-friendly navel-contemplation....Banba, you may not be amazed to know, means Ireland..."
Musician (8/93, p.90) - "...Clannad continues to expand its sound, clearing space for jazzy extrapolations, hearkening back to folk roots, and uncorking some wonderfully catchy choruses..."

"Be With You" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
"Bailamos" was nominated for the 2000 Billboard Latin Music Award for Latin Pop Track Of The Year.
Enrique Iglesias does his illustrious family proud with the spirited, dance club-friendly ENRIQUE. Already having made a well-received resurfacing with "Bailamos" on the WILD WILD WEST soundtrack, this hunky singer has clearly grown up a bit and sounds better than ever on this fully bilingual production. And the Groove Brothers' contribution as producers makes for a winning combination of traditional organica, electronic pulsation, and pop allure.
Enrique lifts el ritmo on high on "Rhythm Divine," declaring the romantic power of the beat to the entrancing sounds of Spanish guitars and hazy electronic loops. "Could I Have This Kiss Forever" is another Iberian-tinged fantasy, only this one unfolds slowly as a rose with Whitney Houston bringing vocal honey to the duet. Part of what makes this Latino so appealing to non-Spanish speakers ...
