Fantastic version! great music

[XoXShadowBoyXoX]

I really love this song and I have sung it myself at folk concerts, but I must admit, this my my favorite version by a LONG way ^_^

[eduardofernandeznet]

Carlos Nuñez is a Galician, wich is not exactly a spaniard...

[TheCyberShock]

@eduardofernandeznet Galicia es españa y los gallegos españoles, si nos ponemos tan separatistas alfinal cada comunidad autonoma querra ser un pais.... ya se que tenemos algunas diferencias culturales, pero que pais no las tiene? Con lo bonito que es tener diversidad... Y en españa la gran mayoria (si no todos) no provenimos 100% de una zona, sino basta mirar de donde provienen los apellidos de todos tus familiares o los tuyos... Antes no habia tanta frontera ni nombre...

[eduardofernandeznet]

@TheCyberShock Mira, yo no se si he ofendido a tu españolidad, pero solo queria remarcar que en Madrid, en Valencia o en Andalucia no hay este estilo de musica, que es caracteristico de Galicia. No me voy a meter en discusiones politicas amigo, espero que no te ofendas tampoco por este comentario :). E eu son de galicia e non son separatista ou nacionalista. Iso e outra historia.

[TheCyberShock]

@eduardofer No me has ofendido para nada, y al igual que me gusta la musica de "mi tierra" tambien me encanta la musica asturiana y gallega porque tambien tienen gaita (que es el instrumento que mas me gusta) y he ido 2 veces a galicia y me encanto.... yo tampoco me meto en discursiones politicas porque paso de ese rollo, ami me interesa mas la cultura y la musica de nuestro pais, y eso va mas alla de toda frontera o nombre XD, solo mal interprete tu comentario, losiento.

[TheCyberShock]

@eduardy pongo mi tierra entre comillas porque mi familia es de aqui y de alli de españa jaja

[pixielf8]

love it would love to know the second half name? brilliant

[nonatopo]

The raggle Taggle Gipsy is just the first half of this version. The second half, instrumental, is another song but I can´t remember its name. Anybody knows?

[nonatopo]

@nonatopo I remembered, second half is "The clumsy lover". By the way, Carlos Núñez is simply the best.

[britnano]

Mike Scott (from Scotland) and Carlos Nuñez ( from Galicia).

[Georgia275]

To CelticGlazik -

[Georgia275]

Mike Scott's from Edinburgh.

[miviajesideral]

Yes, it's Mike singing...

This song it's from Carlos Nuñez "os amores Libres" featuring Mike Scott

Carlos plays the bagpipe!

[007meus]

Istn`t it Mike Scott singing?

[MetalVersusReggaeton]

Sin duda la mejor rola de Carlos Nuñez, que grande.

[seonidh]

The guy singing this song is scottish,

This is originally a Scottish song about a lady called Lady Jane Hamilton, wife of John VI, Earl of Cassillis. The "Gypsies" were killed (except for one, who escaped) and Hamilton was imprisoned for the remainder of her life, dying in 1642. Her only crime was to fall in love and run off with a Romany Gypsy

[Farweasel]

Err, you're sure her crime wasn't running off too slowly? ;-)

[seonidh]

"Err, you're sure her crime wasn't running off too slowly? ;-)"

In those long skirts, a bodice and heels I'd be surprised if she got out of the castle grounds! Of course she could have stolen that horse her husband use to catch her. I don't think planning was her strong point ;)

[lapsatus]

@seonidh ... I think adultery and abandonment were almost amongst her crimes!

Our age may think lightly of family bonds and their permanence and importance. But when mankind was a bit more sane, abandoning your spouse to run off with wandering criminals was considered a fairly serious crime! This certainly would have been true for men - fathers and husbands - but it was all the more true for women and children, who were to one degree or another subject to the authority of the paterfamilias.

[kidcare05]

@seonidh Thank you for writing the history of the song, I had often wondered.
