Living tradition
2020

John O'Regan
2020
"The roots are very much traditional, as is the source material in Crossing The Rhine, What Put The Blood and Paddy's Lamentation, but more obviously worldly are the Indian chimes of T?l and the title track itself, a glossy effervescent concoction. This is where Jiggy stands out - creating a soundscape both ambitiously different and yet rooted in ethnic colours and coverings. It's a heady mix and one that works, depicting the exhilaration and joie de vivre captured in the cover art. Hypernova is hyper at one end and novel sounding at the other - new and old, freshly ancient and anciently refreshing".

"[This] group were catapulted to the world stage in 2018 when their video "Silent Place", a celebration of the togetherness of global dance, became an internet sensation, having since clocked up over 24 million views on Facebook. Their latest offering, Hypernova, does not disappoint. It seamlessly melds Irish traditional music, world rhythms and contemporary dance beats and reaps contributions from a host of guest musicians ... To Jiggy, lines between genres are there to be blurred as the traditional reel 'Road to Errogie' is met by Ilyas Raphaël Khan's konnakol and 'Bonaparte' combines Celtic fiddle melody with traditional Indian vocals, santoor, tabla, beatboxing and more. Original song 'Friday's Child', written and performed by vocalist and fiddle player Aoife Kelly, is particularly poignant as it explores the uncertain of the future of the Irish border. This album is a glorious fusing of cultural sounds into one delightful melting pot".
