Musica Gallega

From Milladoiro, a Galician folk band.

Sounds like Celtic music, doesn't it? Looks Irish too. Yet Spanish, as well.

Bagpipes?

I think I get it, its not Celtic or Spanish, but its a little of both. It's Galician.

Just when I think I've got something figured out, it turns out to be richer than it first appeared.

Carlos Núñez, who has performed with the Chieftains, plays the gaita, the traditional Galician bagpipe. You've probably heard his music before--it's been used in movie soundtracks. Maybe you will run into him in Spain.
