Geantraí (in Irish pronounced as /ˈɟan̪ˠt̪ˠɾˠiː/) is an Irish television programme, presenting Irish traditional music.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
The name derives from Geantraí, one of the three types of Irish music enumerated in the "three noble strains"; geantraí (joy music), suantraí (lullaby) and goltraí (sorrow music).[6] In Old Irish, they were spelled geantraige, suantraige, goltraige.[7] [8] [9]
