Lankum
Title: Lankum: Blending Tradition and Innovation in Modern Folk Music

Lankum, an Irish music group, is renowned for their unique approach towards traditional Irish folk music. The band successfully bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary folk while infusing their own distinctive edge into the genre.

Originally known as Lynched, Lankum is composed of brothers Ian and Daragh Lynch, Cormac MacDiarmada, and Radie Peat. The group can trace their inception back to 2008 in Dublin, Ireland. They opted to change their name to Lankum, a tribute to Dublin's criminal underworld, in 2016 to shed what they felt was a potentially politically insensitive name.
