她出生于1975年，来自一个爱尔兰传统音乐世家。她的声音如此清透美丽而极具风格，让观众们觉得相间恨晚。用这样一句话来形容Cara Dillon不足为过：Cara Dillon是个不寻常的天才！

14岁的时候，Cara Dillon就赢得了全爱尔兰传统歌唱比赛冠军。在开始她自己喜欢的事业之前，她和她的伙伴Sam Lakeman和一家唱片公司签约想做流行歌手，可之后他们发现自己并不喜欢做流行音乐。于是他们出了一张凄美的民歌专集Cara Dillon/Rough Trade Records，出乎意料地赢得了广泛好评。这股随之而来的Cara Dillon效应让她和她的伙伴完全转型。而之后她所获得的无数奖项更加肯定了他们的转型。

《爱尔兰音乐杂志》说，Cara Dillon冷酷却富有感染力的声音包含着她对家乡的热情和对国家的热爱。

Folk Roots Magazine评价说，毫不夸张地说，Cara Dillon有着极少数人才有的美妙嗓音。 Cara Dillon是爱尔兰歌手，一心想促进民族的融合。她借鉴引入了多个民族音乐特有的元素，并融入自己天然的个性和感染的魅力，在歌曲中叙述一则美妙的故事，更是其独特的创意。她精心采取各种手段来提高音乐的质量，而从不论国界，不计较文化和语言的种类。

你多听几遍这首曲，她歌声中的清澈和美好具有独特的魅力，你当然会为她的魅力所打动，不信你听......

Lark in the Clear Air

Craigie Hill It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing Down by yon shady arbour I carelessly did stray The thrushes they were warbling, the violets they were charming To view fond lovers talking, a while I did delay

She said, my dear don't leave me all for another season Though fortune does be pleasing I'll go along with you I'll forsake friends and relations and bid this Irish nation And to the bonny Bann banks forever I'll bid adieu

He said, my dear don't grieve or yet annoy my patience You know I love you dearly a more I'm going away I'm going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation To comfort us hereafter all in America y

Then after a short while a fortune does be pleasing 'Twill cause them for to smile at our late going away We'll be happy as Queen Victoria, all in her greatest glory We'll be drinking wine and porter, all in America y

If you were in your bed lying and thinking on dying The sight of the lovely Bann banks your sorrow you'd give o'er Or if were down one hour, down in yon shady bower Pleasure would surround you, you'd think on death no more

Then fare you well, sweet Craigie Hill, where often times I've roved I never thought my childhood days I'd part you any more Now we're sailing on the ocean for honour d promotion And the bonny boats are sailing, way down by Doorin shore

Blue Mountain River lue mountain river, if only for a while Take me to the river, lay down by your side The world is full of madness and I find it hard to smile Take me where you're going and I'll be right by your side

Blue mountain river, comfort me a while I'll follow down the river, follow you til night I listen to your whispers, you dance in time to mine We'll stay awake together watching silver in the sky

Blue mountain river, I wanna rest a while You're changing my reflection and the seasons in my mind Let these days go on forever, I'll leave in my own time Take me where you're going and I'll be right by your side

Blue mountain river, I went there for a while I listened for an answer and I found it deep inside When I'm lost behind the shadows and I wanna run and hide My blue mountain river is there right by my side

爱尔兰的音乐就像他们的形象——风笛！！！

恩雅是其中最好的一个。
