I think I once read that spain was the birth place of the bag pipes. Google the two names I've given and give the information a good read over and tell me what you think? |

Both regions are occupied by people of Celtic origin (not immigrants from Ireland or Scotland). The people speak their own language (closer to Portuguese than Spanish). The music has more in common with Brittany, Wales and Ireland than Spanish music from Castille or Andalusia. They have their own bagpipes, called the Gaita.
Located on the north coast of Spain, just east of Galicia, Asturias has its own musical tradition, with a focus on the Asturian gaita - the local bagpipe. Gijón, which is the largest town in Asturias (just bigger than the capital Oviedo), has an impressive bagpipe museum "museo de la gaita", containing dozens of examples of bagpipes from every corner of Europe and the middle east. www.sfcelticmusic.com/spain/celtica.htmCatholic now does not preclude Celtic origins per se...
