"More than twenty years ago Paddy was introduced to the wonderful music of Galicia by his friend Polig Monjarret. [...]. Galicians speak their own language, and the culture, particularly the music, has more in common with those of Brittany, Wales, Scotland and Ireland than Castille or Andalusia, and was once described as 'the world's most undiscovered Celtic country.'
Through the years, after some memorable performances - glorious meetings of musical styles and traditions - with such artists as Galician band Milladoiro and Carlos Nunez, Paddy began to develop a project to recreate and expand on the on stage experience. [...] Paddy wrote a special piece 'Galician Overture' that was originally intended to be 1 minute, but ended up being 7/8 minutes long, and is now a highlight of orchestral preformances. Cuba has a very close relationship with Galicia and the Chieftains spent 2 weeks researching and putting a group of singers and musicians together. They brought Ry Cooder as a featured guest and a number of these singers and musicians became part of Ry's Buena Vista Social Club, eg Omara Portuondo, Doc Made.

"Santiago' won a Grammy award for 'Best World Music' in 1997.""

"Mais de vinte anos atrás, Paddy foi introduzido para a música maravilhosa da Galiza pelo seu amigo Polig Monjarret. [...]. Os galegos falam sua própria língua, a cultura e, em particular a música, tem mais em comum com as da Bretanha, País de Gales, Escócia e Irlanda do que com as de Castela e Andaluzia, e foi uma vez descrito como " O céltico país do mundo mais desconhecido."
Através dos anos, depois de algumas performances memoráveis - gloriosas reuniões de estilos musicais e as tradições - com artistas, tais como banda galega Milladoiro e Carlos Nunez, Paddy começou a desenvolver um projecto para recriar e alargar a experiência no palco. [...] Paddy escreveu uma peça especial 'Galician Overture "que estava originalmente destinado a ser de 1 minuto, mas acabou sendo 7 / 8 minutos, e é agora de destaque as preformances orquestrais . Cuba tem uma relação muito estreita com a Galiza e os Chienftaisn passou 2 semanas pesquisando e colocando um grupo de cantores e músicos juntos. Trouxeram Ry Cooder caracterizado como um hóspede e um número destes cantores e músicos se tornou parte da Ry's Buena Vista Social Club, Omara Portuondo, por exemplo, Doc. Made.

"Santiago" ganhou um prêmio Grammy de "Best World Music" em 1997 "."

  • GALICIAN LANGUAGE IS ROMANIC OR NEO LATIN LANGUAGE. IS UNTRUE THE FACT ABOUT GALICIAN ARE THE ONLY CECTS IN SPAIN BECAUSE CELTS WERE IN ALL SPANISH GEOGRAPHY. GALICIAN LANGUAGE IS MORE LATIN LANGUAGE THAN CASTILLIAN, THEN, THEY ARE MORE ROMANS AND LESS CELTS WHAT THEY COULD IMAGINE.

  • @surlupo We are an Atlantic country, not Mediterranean.

  • @oleiros70 sois una comunidad autónoma atlántica perteneciente al Estado Español, con una lengua latina de origen mediterráneo, con una fisionomia mediterranoidea propia de las gentes del sur de europa, con carácteres sociales y culturales de los países de la órbita celta.

  • @surlupo Somos um povo, umha naçom, cumha língua que conserva máis léxico prelatino (nom só céltico) que cualquer outra língua romance, sem falarmos da toponímia. Ninguém alheo à nossa cultura nos vai dizer quem somos.

  • Viva a Portugaliza!

  • @Popotao Viva!

  • O orgullo celta renace continuamente con composicións deste calibre, a resposta do pobo sempre é o baile. Inevitable, causa a unión de xentes de países distintos pero cunha alma xemelga. Ese é o espírito.

  • With refference to "Jota", I firmly believe that the dance in and of itself has strong celtic roots evidenced by the steps and manerisms of the dance. Interestingly though it is widespread throughout central and northerth Spain, even in areas with little Celtiberic history like Aragon.
