Anúna was originally created by Michael McGlynn in 1987 and formed from a group of vocal and instrumental musicians. Since then the group have had over two hundred singers pass through their ranks, many of whom have gone on to carve their own careers in the music industry. One of the reasons for the continuing success of Anúna is the wide diversity of backgrounds and nationalities that the singers come from. Anúna are more a collective of musicians and singers than a choir, each one bringing their unique individual capabilities and gifts to the group. Anúna feature between twelve and fourteen people on stage at one time.
The interview below [dating from 2007], comes from the PBS show Anúna : Celtic Origins and gives you an idea of how the singers view Anúna as an essential part of their lives:
