Celtic music in Canada

Celtic fiddling traditions in Canada were highlighted by a medley performance during the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics entitled "Rhythms of the Fall".

Celtic music is primarily associated with the folk traditions of Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Wales, as well as the popular styles derived from folk culture. In addition, a number of other areas of the world are known for the use of Celtic musical styles and techniques, including Newfoundland, and much of the folk music of Canada's Maritimes, especially on Cape Breton Island and Prince Edward Island.
