People with this degree of talent should be making millions of dollars instead of people like Justin Bieber...

I've never seen anyone use a bagpipe like that before....

[El Flaco Muñoz]

Actually, it is a bagpipe... it's just not a Scottish one... also not Irish... it's Spanish and it's called "gaita gallega"...

I have seen them perform in Hong Kong and they were amazing. Most of all I lovedd the traditional Chinese/Kazakh little organ. The felleo WU Tong played an encore whcih stole the show. I can;t find it on Youtube. I wish I could. He got slowly into a trans and at the end he was dancing and playing. It was melodic and and beautiful.

The instrument she's using is called the "gaita" or Galician bagpipe.

I saw them play live in Chicago and I cried. Spellbinding. As a Scot, this was most intriguing to me. She is playing an instrument called a Gaita. She is Galician. Amazing, all of them.

[Matt Chilton]

does anyone know the name of the piece?

[squeezingtom]

I've never thought of bagpipes as sexy...until now!  :-) This is fantastic music - I saw this played at Tanglewood and it was very exciting.
