Watch Irish vocal duo Absolute Lilt perform "The Polkas" for the Global Spin series, which celebrates global music and international artists.

Featured on their debut EP 'Criostal,' released July 2026, "The Polkas" reflects Absolute Lilt's unique take on lilting, one of Ireland's oldest traditional forms of music.

Composed of singers Lisa Canny and Niamh Hinchy, Absolute Lilt use only their voices to create intricate vocal harmonies combined with rhythmic, percussive sounds. Their distinctive and modern take on lilting is breathing new life into the Irish singing tradition for new generations.

Global Spin is a performance series that celebrates global music, international artists, and the sounds of the world.
