 'They create a sound that is both mesmerising and unforgettable' KLOF MAG

With seven highly acclaimed studio albums under their belt, a wealth of international touring experience, and standout appearances at major festivals, Ranagri have built a formidable reputation on the global stage—captivating audiences from Australia, Italy, Portugal and Germany to Montreal and New Orleans.

Renowned for their commanding live performances, the band delivers a sound that is both intricate and expansive. Soaring vocals, rich harmonies, and driving rhythmic energy intertwine with masterful instrumentation—flutes, whistles, harp, bodhrán, hammered dulcimer, percussion and guitars—forming a virtuosic and immersive soundscape around lead singer Dónal Rogers. The result is a musical experience that feels at once intimate, powerful, and unmistakably anthemic.
