TINKARA - Little Wing LIVE featuring Carlos Nunez

This is a live cover version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing", performed by Tinkara & band featuring the great gaita & pipes virtuoso Carlos Nunez as special guest.
The concert (her yearly special event in this venue) took place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, at the Cankarjev Dom concert hall, on 16th April 2002.
Carlos Nunez (very well known worldwide for his long standing work with the Chieftains - but also for collaborations & recordings with Ry Cooder, Sinead O'Connor, etc) has often been nicknamed "The Hendrix of bagpipes", beacause of his flamboyant virtuoso playing on the Galician gaita and various pipes & whistles, so the idea was to invite him to tackle an actual Hendrix song - which he'd never done before.
Apart from soundcheck, there was no rehearsal as such, and the solos & final breakdown & subsequent crescendo were completely improvised, live onstage.
The audio recording is a direct, two track stereo feed from the FOH mixing desk - no multitrack recording was planned, but some parts of the concert turned out so well, that this particular track actually ended up being used on the album "O-range", the audio just mastered & slightly beefed up by Kevin Metcalfe at Soundmasters, in London, UK.

[@KonradVenthurAnzieta]

Que flautas utiliza en esta canción???? ...me da la impresión que comienza con una soprano....pero su segundo instrumento.....cual es? ......por el tamaño pensaba en una Flauta Tenor....pero no tengo certeza y no he visto flautas tenores rectas.......¿alguien me puede ayudar???

[@Sakarron]

+Konrad Venthur Anzieta No son flautas dulces lo que usa Carlos Nuñez en este video. Son whistles. (A diferencia de las flautas dulces, solo tienen 6 agujeros, no 8). El del principio es un whistle en D, el segundo un Low whistle, tambien en D, pero como su nombre lo indica, una octava mas abajo.

Carlos Montenegro Muchas gracias !!! ....interesante. No los conocía. Saludos!!!

[@Sakarron]

De nada! Son especialmente utilizados en la musica irlandesa y celta en general. Te recomiendo a Brian Finnegan, otro excelente whistler.
