Musical styles mix on Raglan Road
The quiet, leafy thoroughfare made famous by the poet Patrick Kavanagh was the slightly surreal setting for the founder of The Chieftains, Paddy Moloney, to show the musical connections between the two countries with the assistance of a traditional Mexican mariachi band.
The occasion was explained by the decision of the Mexican government to bestow one of its major cultural honours on the six-time Grammy winner in recognition of his role in building relationships between Ireland and Mexico.
