Carlos Núñez, Spanish & Celtic Music August 19 at noon

You are subscribed to Folklife Events for Library of Congress. This information has recently been updated, and is now available.


Carlos Núñez is a world-famous bagpiper and flutist from Galicia in Spain. Galicians trace their ancestry not only to Iberians but also to Celtic peoples, and their musical traditions reflect a connection to Ireland, Scotland, and Brittany. Núñez is a traditional bagpiper as well as a classically-trained flute and recorder virtuoso. He has played with the Chieftains, Ry Cooder, Altan, Sinead O'Connor, Hector Zazou, Philip Pickett, and Tamiya Terashima, to name only a few. This concert will feature a special emphasis on the music collected by Alan Lomax in Galicia in the 1950s, which are part of the AFC Archive, and which have inspired numerous musicians including Miles Davis.
