Sa eagrán seo de Gaeilge Thar Lear, bíonn comhrá agam le Donno — rapper agus ceoltóir as Learpholl a bhfuil Gaeilge den scoth aige agus atá ag tabhairt na teanga isteach ina chuid ceoil.
Pléimid a thuras leis an nGaeilge, an chaoi ar fhoghlaim sé í taobh amuigh d'Éirinn, agus an ról atá aici ina shaol agus ina chuid cruthaitheachta inniu.
Labhraímid freisin faoina cheol, faoin rap mar mheán cainte agus léirithe, agus faoin gcinneadh Gaeilge a úsáid ina chuid amhrán. Tugann Donno léargas ar shaol an cheoltóra nua-aimseartha chomh maith — ó Spotify agus streaming go AI agus na dúshláin a bhaineann le beatha a bhaint as an gceol sa lá atá inniu ann.
Tagann ceangail Learphoill le hÉirinn chun cinn sa chomhrá freisin, chomh maith leis na pleananna atá ag Donno don todhchaí.
Comhrá suaimhneach faoi rap, Gaeilge agus cruthaitheacht i Learpholl an lae inniu.

In this episode of Gaeilge Thar Lear, I speak with Donno, a rapper and musician from Liverpool with an impressive command of Irish who has begun incorporating the language into his music.
We discuss his journey with Irish, how he learned the language outside Ireland, and the role it plays in both his personal life and creative work.
The conversation also explores his music, rap as a form of expression, and his decision to use Irish in his songs. Donno shares his perspective on life as a modern musician, from Spotify and streaming to AI and the challenges of making a living from music today.
We also discuss Liverpool’s connections with Ireland and Donno’s plans for the future.
A relaxed conversation about rap, the Irish language, and creativity in modern-day Liverpool.
