I know I could research this, but could someone tell me why a Portugese band is playing bagpipes - although those look strange. Would like to be the girl playing the bass drum...too much fun!
@laelamarie1 Why not? We have 3 types of bagpipes... and bagpipes are a traditional instrument in Portugal, we have been playing it for centuries, since roman times... they are part of our folk.
@andregeo13 Hello! Have to confess I know little of bagpipes except for listening. This is what is great about YT - hearing great music as this, learning of instruments and the people. would love to know more....wikepedia? Thank you!!!
@ralphyboy25 It is a traditional theme, with some variants from place to place. Some call it a kind of "Alvorada" as it used to be the first theme played in the morning by the usual trio piper + snare drum + bass drum. Check it here:

Thanks for the video. Do you know that name of this song? Is it per chance "Passo Dobrado" ?

The name of the song is indeed "Passo Dobrado".

@palhetins Thanks. Do you know if this Passo Dobrado is an original composition by Cornes?

I really like this Cornes rendition, I listen to it several times a week.
