Galician Music – Celt Connection

 

We have always been intrigued with the Galician Celt connection. We keep hearing about DNA studies and Galicia as the 7th Celt nation, with the others being Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Cornwall, Isle of Mann and Brittany.

We don’t know for sure how much of this is true, but as music lovers, we do believe that music carries a strong historical legacy…. and Bagpipes don’t lie. So check out Carlos Nunez new album and tell us what you think. He is performing this Wednesday in Scotland, next week in Austria and then on Tour in the US.

Here is a link to one of his songs that was in the soundtrack of Mar Adentro (The Sea Inside) from Amenabar. The film is based on a real story and filmed in Rias Baixas. One of the main characters, Ramona Castro lives in Riberiña, so when you come to Dezanove House and have a walk around the village you might come across her and she is always happy to talk about the true story!. Here is the soundtrack. Enjoy the Celt music connection!
