COSA FADA by B.O.W. & Rosenstock
COSA FADA, a suite of ten songs in Irish, is the unique collaboration of renowned Irish poet Gabriel Rosenstock and Cork music collective B.O.W.
Rosenstock had written a collection of poems for children, in response to art works in the public domain. These poems were then entrusted to vocalist/composer Hilary Bow, producer/composer Cormac O’Connor and musician/composer Mark Wilkins, known collectively as B.O.W., who set to work composing and recording original music for Rosenstock's words.
COSA FADA, an album of ten new songs ,fusing folk, ambient and contemporary styles, is the result of this collaboration.
